Bulls at Warriors picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 118, Bulls 113

Moneyline

The Warriors (-120) are small favorites, and it doesn’t make a lot of sense backing the home side straight up unless you feel Golden State is going to win, but only by a single point.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

PLAY WARRIORS -1.5 (-110) to get the job done by 2 or more points. The Bulls +1.5 (-110) have dropped 5 of the past 6 games, while going just 1-4 ATS in the past 5 outings.

Golden State has dominated this series, winning 8 of the past 10 meetings, while covering 7 of those outings since 2019. At home, the Dubs have won 4 of the past 5 games, while going 4-1 ATS in that same span. Back the home side to get the job done despite a bevy of injuries to role players.

Over/Under

OVER 230.5 (-115) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over has cashed in 3 straight meetings in this series, while going 4-1 across the past 5 head-to-head battles since Jan. 14, 2022.

Be careful, though, as the Bulls are hit the Under at a 4-1 clip in the past 5 games, while going 7-2 across the previous 9 outings.

For the Warriors, though, the Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 games. Go high, but be careful.
