The Bulls are coming into this game as a 3 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bulls have been playing very well recently, they have lost 2 of their last 3 games but that was at the end of a 9 game win streak for them and they should be bouncing back in this game with how they have been playing. The Warriors have not been playing well losing 2 straight games and they have lost 4 of their last 5 games. They have been dealing with some injuries but they have not been able to play well in their games and they have found themselves trailing a lot recently. Until the Warriors start to play better again they cannot be trusted to go into Chicago on the road and win against a very hot Bulls team right now. The best bet to place in this game is on the Bulls to cover the spread here.
