The Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors collide at the Chase Center on Thursday night. Here’s a Warriors vs Bulls Prediction. This article will include a Warriors vs Bulls Pick.

Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls have been doing it tough lately as they’ve lost six of their last eight games overall. The Bulls will be feeling much better after putting an end to a five-game slide with a 112-99 road win over the Clippers on Monday. Zach LaVine led the team with 35 points on 11 of 21 shooting, Josh Giddey tallied 18 points with 10 rebounds and nine assists while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 14 points, eight rebounds, and four assists. As a team, the Bulls shot just 40 percent from the field and 15 of 46 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Clippers early on and trailed going into halftime. The Bulls took control of the contest with a 36-16 third-quarter domination to make it look easy in the end.

Golden State Warriors

Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have been in a slump as they’ve lost six of their last nine games overall. The Warriors will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after getting beaten by the Kings in a 123-117 road defeat last night. Andrew Wiggins led the team with 25 points, Buddy Hield added 17 points, while Stephen Curry chipped in with 14 points and 12 assists. As a team, the Warriors shot 46 percent from the field and 22 of 48 from the 3-point line. The Warriors exploded for 41 points in the second quarter to take an 18-point lead, only to allow the Kings to pour in 75 points in the second half to suffer yet another disappointing defeat.

Why the Golden State Warriors will win

  • The Bulls have lost each of their last 12 games as road underdogs after winning as underdogs.
  • The Warriors have won 12 of their last 13 night games against the Bulls.
  • The Warriors have covered the spread in eight of their last nine home games against the Bulls.
  • The Bulls have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight road games against Western Conference opponents after winning as underdogs.

Why the Chicago Bulls will win

  • The Bulls have won each of their last six games as underdogs against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Warriors have lost four of their last six games as favorites on the second leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Bulls have covered the spread in each of their last eight games as road underdogs against opponents who are on the second leg of a back-to-back.
  • The Warriors have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Total Points Facts

  • Eight of the Warriors’ last nine games on the second leg of a back-to-back have gone UNDER the total points line.
  • Seven of the Bulls’ last eight night games have gone UNDER the total points line.

Warriors vs Bulls Prediction

The Bulls are still missing a bunch of players including Ayo Dosunmu, Coby White, and Chris Duarte, while the Warriors have again ruled out Draymond Green, Kyle Anderson, and Brandin Podziemski. The Bulls were really struggling before they were able to take down the Clippers in a big upset win on Monday, while the Warriors have continued their downward spiral with a loss to the Kings where they blew an 18-point lead. You couldn’t back either side with too much confidence at the moment, but I watched the way the Warriors crumbled last night, and I don’t think they can bounce back on zero days’ rest. Give me the Bulls, who represent great value as the underdog in this spot.
