Golden State Warriors @ Chicago Bulls Preview

The Golden State Warriors (25-26) are looking to bounce back after a 120-112 loss to the Lakers. This game marks the debut of Jimmy Butler in a Warriors uniform, following a blockbuster trade that sent Andrew Wiggins to another team. The Warriors are aiming to improve their playoff chances with Butler's addition, which is expected to bolster their defense and shot creation.

The Chicago Bulls (22-30) are in a rebuilding phase after trading Zach LaVine. They are coming off a 127-108 loss to the Timberwolves. Nikola Vucevic continues to lead the Bulls with 19.5 points and 10.4 rebounds per game, while Josh Giddey and Coby White anchor the backcourt. Despite their offensive capabilities, the Bulls have struggled defensively, ranking 26th in defensive rating.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Warriors have dominated the recent head-to-head matchups, winning eight of the last ten games against the Bulls. Their most recent encounter on January 23, 2025, resulted in a decisive 131-106 victory for Golden State. The last four meetings between these teams have all gone over the total, with at least 237 points scored in each game.

Pick: Warriors -6.0

The Warriors are the stronger team on paper, especially with the addition of Jimmy Butler. Their recent head-to-head dominance over the Bulls, combined with Chicago's defensive struggles, makes Golden State a solid pick to cover the spread. The Bulls' inconsistency and recent roster changes further tilt the scales in favor of the Warriors.

Top Player Prop Picks

Stephen Curry Over 26.5 Points (-125)

Stephen Curry has been the offensive leader for the Warriors, averaging 22.7 points per game. With Jimmy Butler drawing defensive attention, Curry could have more opportunities to score. The Bulls' 26th-ranked defense also makes this a favorable matchup for Curry.

Nikola Vucevic Over 10.5 Rebounds (-115)

Vucevic has been a rebounding machine, averaging 10.4 rebounds per game. He has recorded over 10.5 rebounds in five straight games, and with the Warriors' focus on perimeter play, Vucevic should dominate the boards.

Buddy Hield Under 9.5 Points (-128)

Hield has averaged just 9.2 points over the last ten games. With Jimmy Butler's arrival and a potential reduction in Hield's role, the under on his points total is a strong play.
