Tip-off: Tuesday, 10:35 p.m. ET
Line: Golden State -9.5, Total: 210.5

The Warriors look to continue their amazing season with a victory over the gritty Bulls on Tuesday night.

Chicago has been struggling lately with a 4-7 record (SU and ATS) since Jan. 7. In that period of time they scored 97.5 PPG and absorbed four defeats while being considered the favorites. The Bulls hosted the Heat on Sunday while giving 7.5 points and were unable to ever get anything going in a 96-84 loss. It was their abysmal shooting which really set them back as they made a meager 31-of-87 attempts (36% FG), including just 7-of-24 three-pointers (29%). The Warriors just keep on winning, and they are an amazing 13-1 SU (10-4 ATS) since Dec. 27 as they’ve defeated their opponents by an incredible 20.6 PPG. The offense has been unstoppable and they are netting 118.7 PPG over the 14-game stretch, as they have eclipsed 110 points in each of the past six contests. Golden State had one of its closer games on Sunday night as huge 18-point favorites against the Celtics when it won by a score of 114-111 in what was its 19th straight home victory. It was a tight game throughout, but the Warriors managed to make 47% of their shots and 88% of their free throws on their way to the win. Chicago has actually played much better on the road this season at 16-6 SU (12-10 ATS), but will be faced with the near impossible task of taking on a Golden State club which has gone 21-1 SU (16-5-1 ATS) in front of its fans. This will be the second time that these two teams are meeting this season, and it was the Warriors who earned a solid 112-102 victory as 2-point favorites on the road in on Dec. 6. Most of the stats between the clubs were fairly even except that Golden State had half as many turnovers (11) as Chicago (22), and scored 27 points off the miscues. Prior to that win, the Bulls had gotten the better of the Warriors in the matchup, winning three of previous four meetings where they held Golden State to a mere 91.8 PPG. Trends show that Chicago is 19-8 ATS (70%) when revenging a double-digit loss versus an opponent over the past two seasons, but the Warriors have gone 21-5 ATS (81%) after scoring 105+ points this season. As far as injuries are concerned, SF Mike Dunleavy (ankle) is listed as questionable for the traveling Bulls, and C Festus Ezeli (ankle) is questionable for the Warriors.

The Bulls certainly have improved from last season with their offense as they are putting up 101.8 PPG (11th in league) behind 44.4% FG (19th in NBA) and 36.6% threes (8th in league). Last season they averaged a NBA-worst 93.4 PPG on 43.2% FG (also last in league) and 34.7% threes (7th-worst in NBA). Unfortunately, their defense that led the NBA in scoring defense (92.0 PPG) and ranked second in shooting defense (43.1% FG) last season is now allowing 99.2 PPG (15th in league) on 44.2% shooting (8th in NBA) and 34.8% threes (10th in league). PF Pau Gasol (18.3 PPG, 11.8 RPG, 2.1 BPG) continues to be an absolute beast for his new team and has recorded a double-double in each of the past six games, averaging 15.2 PPG, 14.5 RPG and 2.0 BPG during the run. He also had a phenomenal performance in the loss to the Warriors earlier this season with 22 points and 20 rebounds. PG Derrick Rose (18.2 PPG, 5.0 APG) has been getting back to driving the ball more often and has scored 20+ points in five of his past seven contests. He wishes he could forget his last meeting against Golden State when he was just 2-for-11 from the field, including going 1-for-7 from three-point range, with nine points, six assists and four rebounds. SG Jimmy Butler (20.1 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 1.8 SPG) has found an offensive game this season, which stems from him getting to the line, but he had a rough game against the Heat on Monday with only five points on 2-of-8 FG (0-for-2 threes). He’ll look to bounce back in this one after having a big game against the Warriors back in December (24 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals).

Simply put, there is no offense in the NBA right now that can keep up with the Warriors as they are scoring a league-best 111.1 PPG and making 48.6% FG and 39.0% threes, which are also tops in the NBA. It isn’t just the offense that has impressed though, as the defense is giving up 99.3 PPG (16th in league) and holding their opposition to an NBA-best 42.2% shooting on 32.0% threes (3rd in league). PG Stephen Curry (22.8 PPG, 8.2 APG, 4.7 RPG, 2.1 SPG) has managed a double-double in each of the past three games (18.0 PPG, 10.7 APG), but has hit a cold streak with his shooting over the past two contests, making a mere 9-of-27 shots (33% FG) and 3-of-12 threes (25%). He also had a poor shooting day when he saw the Bulls earlier in the season (5-of-14 FG), but ended up having a solid all-around game of 19 points, seven assists and six rebounds. SG Klay Thompson (22.8 PPG, 1.3 SPG, 1.0 BPG, 46% threes) has been on another planet in the past five games, scoring 31.8 PPG as he has made 24-of-43 threes (56%). Look for him to continue his hot streak, as he went for 24 points, five rebounds, five assists, two steals and two blocks against Chicago in December. SF Draymond Green (11.7 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 1.4 BPG) has been the glue that holds this team together and is looking forward to playing the Bulls again as he went for a career-high 31 points, hitting 11-of-20 shots (7-for-13 threes) and added seven rebounds, four steals and three blocks in the Warriors win on Dec. 6.
