Warriors vs Bulls NBA Preview
The Warriors wrap up their road trip in Chicago on Sunday night after grinding out a defensive win in Cleveland.
Golden State has been inconsistent all season, but the group keeps finding ways to compete despite missing Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler and Al Horford.
Saturday’s win was another example: Pat Spencer delivered a career-high 19 points, Gui Santos and Buddy Hield stepped up, and the Warriors overcame a rough shooting start to edge the Cavs 99-94.
The Bulls enter this match in a struggling situation, dropping six straight after a strong start to the season.
Their latest setback was a 120-105 home loss to the Pacers, a game defined by sloppy turnovers and poor stretches on defense.
Coby White’s return gave them a spark, and Matas Buzelis continues to impress, but Chicago’s lack of stability and the long list of injuries — including Tre Jones, Isaac Okoro, Ayo Dosunmu and Kevin Huerter — continues to drag down their rhythm.
Even with Josh Giddey putting up near triple-double averages and ranking behind only Nikola Jokic in triple-doubles this season, the Bulls haven’t been able to translate that production into wins.
Warriors vs Bulls Prediction, Betting Analysis
The market has installed the Warriors as 1-point favorites with the total at 227.5, a number that sits in a range where bettors have been leaning toward the under in Golden State’s games lately. That creates an ideal setup for Evan Abrams’ “Contrarian Overs, Good Road Teams” system.
The theory is simple: when a capable road team enters a non-division game with confidence and pace after a strong win, the market often suppresses scoring expectations too much, especially when injuries or fatigue create an automatic assumption of slower play.
But teams like the Warriors — even short-handed — tend to push tempo, share the ball and dictate flow when they’re feeling good offensively. The Bulls’ defensive issues and turnover problems only add to the likelihood of extra possessions and easier scoring opportunities.
With Golden State coming off a decisive, energizing win and Chicago struggling to contain anyone during this losing streak, the conditions are right for a faster, higher-scoring style than the numbers suggest.
Pick: Over 227.5 (-110)
