Match announcement

Golden State Warriors

Current form
The Warriors are having difficulties this season, although more was expected from the team. The team is in 11th place in the Western Conference and is fighting to get into the play-in zone. However, recent results leave much to be desired, because Steve Kerr team has lost two games in a row, losing to Boston (85:125) and Sacramento (117:123).
In the match against the Celtics, the team game fell apart both offensively and defensively. Stephen Curry, who is the leader of the Warriors, was unable to demonstrate his best qualities, and his partners were unable to support him. Despite the problems, Golden State feels more confident on its home court, where the team performs better than on the road. The next game against unstable Chicago may be an opportunity for the hosts to regain their confidence.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kyle Anderson, Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski are all out next game due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
In 3 of the last 5 face-to-face matches the warriors celebrated victory.
Probable lineup: Wiggins - Payton, Looney - Hield, Curry.

Chicago Bulls

Current form
The Bulls continue to disappoint their fans. The team is in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, but its results do not inspire optimism. Chicago has suffered four defeats in the last five matches, losing to such opponents as New Orleans, Atlanta, Charlotte and Portland. The team’s only victory during this period was against the Clippers (112:99), where Zach LaVine scored 35 points, becoming the main hero of the match.
The team under Billy Donovan has struggled to balance offense and defense. Despite the efforts of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, Chicago has struggled to maintain momentum against strong opponents. Ahead of them is a tough road trip to San Francisco, where the Bulls will face a motivated Golden State, which is also trying to get back on the winning track.
Disqualifications and injuries
Torrey Craig will not be helping his team due to health problems.
Interesting facts for betting
The Bulls have won only one of their last five games.
Probable lineup: Williams - LaVine, Vucevic - Giddey, Ball.

1.90Tip and bets
Chicago continues to be inconsistent this season. The team relies on the individual performances of Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, but that is not enough to successfully compete against strong opponents. The Bulls are under pressure and their offensive game leaves much to be desired.
Golden State, despite its problems, looks preferable. The Warriors feel comfortable in home games, where they are supported by their home stands. Stephen Curry and company should use their chances to break the losing streak. In our opinion, the hosts will show character and win against unstable Chicago.
Our prediction is a Golden State victory with overtime at 1.72
Bet on total
Both teams are not in the best shape, and their offensive game in recent weeks leaves much to be desired. Golden State builds its game around Stephen Curry, but the team has difficulties with scoring. Chicago, in turn, also cannot boast of a bright game in attack. We believe that the match will not be productive, so we offer a bet on the total under.
Betting Tip - total under 234.5 points for 1.67
Bet on statistics
The Bulls are facing a lot of problems, both offensively and defensively. Zach LaVine is trying to carry the team, but one player is not enough to show consistent results. The road game against Golden State promises to be difficult, especially considering that the Warriors are motivated to improve the situation. In our opinion, Chicago will not break its individual total in this match.
Betting Tip - Chicago individual total under 114.5 points for 1.99
