The Chicago Bulls have lost eight of their last 10 games against the Golden State Warriors. While the Warriors haven’t been at their best lately we believe that they’ll be able to get the job done tonight. The Bulls look good on paper but they’re also one of the most inconsistent teams in the league. Stephen Curry is one to lookout for as he is due for a big night. Surely, a poorly organized defense like the Bulls' will present the perfect opportunity for the Chef to find a rhythm.
