The Chicago Bulls travel to the AT&T Center to take on the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. Here’s a Bulls vs Spurs Prediction.
Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have been in decent shape as they will be aiming for a season-high fourth straight victory after taking down the Hornets in a 111-100 win on Wednesday. DeMar DeRozan led the team with 29 points on eight of 20 shooting, Nikola Vucevic added 20 points iwth 12 rebounds and three assists while Coby White chipped in with 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 42 percent from the field and 12 of 25 from the 3-point line as they outpaced the Hornets from the start, building themselves a 22-point lead before they held off a late rally from the Hornets in the fourth quarter.

Bulls vs Spurs Prediction
The Bulls are still missing Zach LaVine, but they could have Torrey Craig and Alex Caruso back in the lineup, while the Spurs don’t have anyone on the injury report. This is a classic case of two teams headed in opposite directions as the Bulls are starting to play some of their best basketball of the season so far, while the Spurs are mired in a 15-game slide. The Bulls have a couple players returning for this one and they are clearly the team in better form, so I really like the Bulls at the short line in this spot.
