Our prediction - Handicap (-2) points on Golden State
Chicago Bulls were not so successful on the offensive end in recent matches. In each of three latest matches Donovan's men failed to score more than 110 points. Taking that into account, we are not expecting a high-scoring game here.
Our second bet is on total under 240,5 points
