Bulls vs Warriors Betting Preview: Golden State Continues to Dominate at Home

Bulls Ran Out of Phoenix, Looking for Turnaround at GS

The Chicago Bulls continue their six-game road trip with a stop in Golden State to take on the Warriors. This will be the Bulls fifth game away from the United Center with a stop in Sacramento wrapping things up for them on Sunday. Let’s jump into our Bulls vs Warriors betting preview and see where we can find some value.

Chicago is coming off of a bad loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday in which they allowed Devin Booker to put up 51 points on 80% shooting from the field. They’re going to need to clean things up defensively because they’re about to face another team that knows how to shoot the ball pretty well.

The Warriors come into this game after a road trip to Dallas in which they suffered a narrow loss to the Mavs on Tuesday. Golden State comes into this game as the 7-point favorite and is -270 on the Moneyline. The total for this game opened at 233.5 and has moved up a few points to 236.

Splash Brothers Hoping to Rain on Parade

We start our Bulls vs Warriors betting preview by taking a look at why the total for this game has moved up so many points. Defensively, the Chicago Bulls are pretty solid, but the one area where they could use some improvement is defending the three-point line.

The Bulls allow a ton of threes and have the second-worst opponent three-point percentage in the league. That is a recipe for disaster against a Warriors team that has the world’s best three-point shooter in Steph Curry as well as Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole.

Golden State is going to take advantage and as long as they’re not ice cold from deep on Friday, this should give them a huge edge over the Bulls.

Warriors Hoping for More Domination

Chicago also shot the ball well on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns, shooting 50% from the field. However, they went just 4-25 from three-point land. While we wouldn’t say Chicago is one of the more superior three-point shooting teams in the league, they are better than what they showed in Phoenix. As a result, we think it’s fair to expect some positive shooting regression for the Bulls, which should help raise the total of this game.

Historically, this matchup also favors Golden State. The Warriors have won the last 10 meetings with Chicago and are 7-0 against the spread in their last seven home games against the Bulls. While Curry and company have struggled on the road this season, they’ve been dominant at home where they are 8-0 straight up and 6-2 against the spread in their last eight home games.

Another reason that we think the Warriors are going to have success over the Bulls tonight is that they are a much better rebounding team at home. They are top-10 in total rebounds when playing at the Chase Center while the Bulls rank 21st in rebounding when on the road. Overall, all signs point to the Warriors covering the spread and the over hitting.
