Chicago Bulls @ Golden State Warriors Preview

Both teams are fighting to stay in the playoff picture, with the Bulls sitting 10th in the Eastern Conference and the Warriors 11th in the Western Conference. The Bulls are coming off an impressive 112-99 win over the Clippers, led by Zach LaVine's 35 points. On the other hand, the Warriors are reeling from a 123-117 loss to the Kings, despite Andrew Wiggins scoring 25 points. The Warriors have struggled recently, going 4-6 in their last 10 games, while the Bulls have also gone 4-6 but have shown better offensive output during that stretch.

Pick: Golden State Warriors -1.5

The Warriors are slight favorites at home, and for good reason. Despite their recent struggles, they have a strong home-court advantage and a better defensive ranking (10th in points allowed) compared to the Bulls' 29th-ranked defense. The Bulls' road record is respectable, but their defensive issues could be exploited by the Warriors' offensive weapons, including Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins. Additionally, the Warriors' ability to dominate the boards (3rd in rebounds) and their strong three-point shooting (4th in 3-pointers made) could be the deciding factors in this matchup.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Zach LaVine Over 24.5 Points

LaVine has been the Bulls' offensive leader, averaging 24.0 points per game this season. He is coming off a stellar 35-point performance against the Clippers and will likely be the focal point of Chicago's offense again.

2. Stephen Curry Over 4.5 Three-Pointers Made

Curry is averaging 4.3 three-pointers per game this season and remains one of the most dangerous shooters in the league. Against a weak Bulls defense, he has a strong chance to exceed this mark.

3. Nikola Vucevic Over 10.5 Rebounds

Vucevic is averaging 10.4 rebounds per game and will be crucial in battling the Warriors' strong rebounding unit. His consistency on the boards makes this a solid pick.
