Bulls vs Warriors Odds & Predictions (Dec. 2)
- The Chicago Bulls s are 7-point underdogs when they visit the Golden State Warriors
- Golden State has won eight games in a row at home
- Read below for the Bulls vs Warriors preview, with odds and predictions
Tough combination for the Chicago Bulls (9-12, 4-7 away) Friday night.
They’re on the fifth game of a grueling 6-game road trip, coming off a blowout loss to the Phoenix Suns last time out, and now they have to travel to San Francisco, to face a team that’s beat them 10 straight times.
If that’s not enough, Golden State (11-11, 9-1 home), is a sparkling 9-1 at home, and have reeled off eight straight wins in their own gym.
It’s no surprise the NBA odds skew heavily on the Dubs, who enter this one as a 7-point favorite.

Chicago Betting Outlook
The Bulls felt the wrath of the Suns, who, at 12-1, own the top home record in the NBA. Chicago got thumped 132-113, and they had no answer for Devin Booker, who dropped 51 points, six assists and four boards.
One of the few bright lights for the Bulls was DeMar DeRozan, who led the team in scoring with 29 points, seven rebounds and four assists. It’s the eighth straight game DeRozan has been the top scorer. Zach LaVine had 21 points, with seven assists and four rebounds.

Defensively, Chicago was a sieve, as Phoenix shot 52.7% from the field, including a 15-for-33 mark from three point range, a 45.5% clip. That’s one glaring issue for the Bulls, who allow teams to shoot 37.9% from beyond the arc, the 2nd-worst mark in the league.
Conversely, the Bulls’ offensive attack doesn’t have much long-range variety. They shoot the fewest threes in the league at 28.9 per game, and are just one of two teams to average less than 30 attempts a game.
The Bulls have not had Lonzo Ball in a game for them this season, as he recovers from a knee injury. He won’t be available until the New Year.
Golden State Betting Outlook
There are few teams that Jekyll-and-Hyde it like the Warriors.
They return home after a tough loss to the Dallas Mavericks, who raced out to a big lead before hanging on in a 116-113 win. That’s the 10th loss for the Warriors in 12 road games. Golden State joined Houston and Detroit — 15th in their respective conferences — as the only double-digit road loss teams in the NBA.
Fortunately, they return to the cozy confines at Chase, where they have lost just once all season. Only three other teams have a single loss at home.

Steph Curry dueled with Luka Doncic much of Wednesday night, finishing with 32 points, five rebounds and five assists. It was a major dud for Splash bro Klay Thompson, who only scored five points on 2-for-9 shooting. He missed the final three attempt in the game that would have tied it.
The Warriors are still leaking a bunch of points, as they rank 27th in points allowed at 117.2 points per game. Most of that damage has been on the road, though, where teams are putting up 122.7 points per game.
At home? Golden State’s scoring defense surrenders 110.7 points per game.

Bulls vs Warriors Prediction
Picking the Warriors at home has been very profitable of late, with the team going 6-2 against the spread during their 8-game win streak.
Chicago has just three wins in their last nine, and they also own a 3-6 mark ATS. It’s been grim for the Bulls as a visitor in this head-to-head, failing to cover the spread in the previous seven meetings.
The Bulls have had some success on this road trip, though, handing Milwaukee just their second home loss of the year, and giving Utah just their third loss in 10 home contests.
I just like Golden State upon returning home. Five times they’ve returned from a road game this year, and they’ve won all five, with four of those games by double-digits.
Pick:
- Warriors -7 (-110); 1 unit to win 0.91 units
- NBA Betting Record: 13-9 ATS, 1-0 ML, 2-3 o/u; 0-1 parlays; +2.26 units
