Matchup Information
Bulls vs. Warriors Betting Analysis
Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls came into the season expecting to be a bonafide playoff contender. However, they have a glaring hole at the point guard position with Lonzo Ball out of action.
DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine have tried to pick up the slack in the playmaking department, but both have to shift their primary focus into scoring, so playmaking could be tougher for them to have to deal with as well.
Vucevic One of the Bulls’ Better-scoring Man
The Bulls also have one of the better-scoring big men in the league that can also offer versatility with his passing and rebounding abilities in Nikola Vucevic, as the Bulls could look to run some plays for him and take advantage of a smaller Warriors team.
Bottom line is that the Warriors will have to focus on the dynamic scoring duo of DeRozan and LaVine, as they command a ton of attention in the mid-range.
Golden State Warriors
The Warriors are known for putting up very good all-around NBA team stats both offensively and defensively, as they have won a ton of championships over the past decade because of their mastery on both ends of the floor.
Curry at the NBA Player Stats
Stephen Curry looks as great as he’s ever looked, as he’s putting up NBA player stats of 31.4 points, 7.0 assists, and 6.4 rebounds per game.
Curry has found himself having to carry a bigger load than usual, though, as Klay Thompson and Draymond Green have both struggled to be the best version of themselves.
Andrew Wiggins has been coming into his own recently, as he’s stepping up as the secondary scorer the Warriors have needed since Kevin Durant departed to the Brooklyn Nets.
Warriors’ Defense
The Golden State Warriors will always stymie opposing defenses with their ability to push the ball and move it around, as a lot of times they’ll throw out four or even five different guys who can shoot the ball.
As long as they have the same core that won them championships, they’re going to be a threat each and every single game.
