Golden State Warriors vs Chicago Bulls prediction
The Golden State Warriors are coming off some rough losses as of late, and you get the feeling they’re a team that’s falling apart. The Warriors were booed off their court against the Pelicans, and other players have been complaining about their roles. Wiggins has been in trade rumors and Draymond is still working his way back. It’s a circus for the Warriors right now. The Chicago Bulls are as healthy as they’ve been all year, and they’ve quietly put together some nice wins lately. The Bulls have seen 13 of their 18 wins come at home. I’ll lay the buckets with the Bulls at home.
