Update: Chicago Bulls shooting guard Jimmy Butler will not play tonight, per K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune. Dwyane Wade is sick and is currently a game-time decision.
The Golden State Warriors didn’t look like themselves in Saturday’s 109-106 loss to the Sacramento Kings, and Stephen Curry and company will look to avoid losing two consecutive games for the first time in two years when they welcome the Chicago Bulls to town on Wednesday. As of 4 p.m. EST, the Bulls were listed as 17-point underdogs. In our database (which dates back to 1992), the biggest line the Bulls had ever faced was +17.5.
- The total has gone UNDER in eight of the Warriors' last 11 games.
- The Warriors are 7-0 SU in their last seven games after losing as a favorite.
- The Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last five games on the road against teams with winning records.
It’s hard for any team to keep pace with the high-flying Warriors, but the Bulls have been doing their best Golden State impression of late. Chicago has posted an average of 119.5 points over the last four games, three of which resulted in wins. Wade stepped up in a big way on Monday, finishing with 31 points, including a late jumper that sealed the victory in the Bulls’ 112-107 triumph over the Kings.
Kevin Durant has made a seamless transition into the stacked lineup in his first year in Golden State, but the Slim Reaper has hit a major wall lately. Durant suffered through his worst game of the season on Saturday, scoring 10 points on 2-of-10 shooting and is 4-for-27 from 3-point range over the last four tilts.
The OVER is trending when these teams collide. In the last eight meetings between the Warriors and Bulls, the OVER is 6-2.
