Golden State is a 7-point road favorite in Chicago at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last three games against the Bulls, the Warriors are 3-0 straight up and ATS with an average margin of victory of 24.7 points per game.
Just 93 seconds into their game against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night, the Warriors lost Kevin Durant for the game with a knee injury. Golden State learned that it would be without Durant due to an MCL sprain and bone bruise for at least four weeks after the 112-108 road loss to Washington.
No team in the NBA is better equipped to lose a player of Durant’s caliber than the Warriors, who still have most of the team that went 73-9 SU last regular season intact.
The Warriors have thrived as single-digit favorites this season going 15-2 SU and 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite of 9.5 points or less per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Betting Line / Total: Golden State -7 / 219 Points
Trend: The Warriors are 0-4 ATS in their last four games.
Trend: The OVER is 8-4 in the Bulls’ last 12 games.
Chicago ended the month of February with a 125-107 loss at home against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night, snapping a 4-0 SU and ATS streak that the Bulls carried into that game.
The Bulls have been inconsistent all season long en route to a 30-30 SU and ATS record, but their recent four-game win streak included wins over three of the Eastern Conference’s top teams at home against Toronto and Boston and on the road against Cleveland. Perhaps the Bulls could provide an early test for one of these teams in the first round of the postseason.
Thursday night’s total is set at 219 points. The OVER is 8-4 in Chicago’s last 12 games overall.
Even on a night that the Warriors lost Kevin Durant and got a cold shooting performance from Steph Curry, the game still went right down to the wire against a very good Washington team. Chicago will need to be at its best on Thursday night to keep this game close, even with Durant out of commission.
