The Golden State Warriors (4-6 in last 10) visit the Chicago Bulls (3-7 in last 10) Sunday night at the United Center, with tipoff set for 7:10 p.m. ET. We’re essentially a pick ’em game despite riding a devastating 6-game losing streak. Golden State is just 1-point favorites on the road, suggesting oddsmakers view this as a toss-up between two struggling teams.

Bulls in Absolute Freefall
Chicago sits at 3-7 in the last 10 games, riding a soul-crushing 6-game losing streak. We’re 2-8 against the spread with a 2-game ATS losing streak, meaning we’re not even covering the spreads we’re getting.
Bulls games have leaned toward unders (4 overs, 6 unders) with 2 straight unders suggesting recent defensive improvements or offensive struggles – probably the latter.
Warriors Inconsistent But Better
Golden State enters at 4-6 in their last 10 games with a 1-game winning streak. They’re 4-6 ATS with a 2-game ATS winning streak, showing they’ve been covering spreads more consistently lately.
Warriors games have split evenly on totals (5 overs, 5 unders) with 2 straight unders suggesting recent lower-scoring affairs.
Why Is This Basically a Pick ‘Em?
The 1-point spread makes this essentially a toss-up, which feels disrespectful to Golden State but accurately reflects both teams’ terrible recent form.
Warriors Slight Road Favorite
Golden State is laying just 1 point on the road, which is basically the market saying “we’re not sure who wins this.” They’re 4-6 in their last 10 compared to our 3-7, giving them slight edge.
Both Teams Struggling
We’re on a 6-game losing streak. They’re 4-6 in their last 10. Neither team is playing well, making this a genuine toss-up between two dysfunctional squads.
Home Court Should Mean Something
We’re at the United Center where we should have advantages. But given our 6-game losing streak, maybe home court doesn’t matter anymore.
Six Straight Losses Is Catastrophic
We’ve lost six consecutive games. This isn’t a slump anymore – this is a complete collapse. The confidence is shattered, execution is terrible, and the season is slipping away.
Season Officially in Crisis
Six straight losses. We’ve gone from playoff contenders to lottery team in three weeks. This is a full-blown disaster.
Must-Win Territory
If we can’t beat a 4-6 Warriors team at home, we might as well start tanking. This is as close to must-win as regular season gets.
Steph Curry Will Cook Us
Let’s be honest – Curry will drop 30+ and make our defense look silly. He always performs at the United Center, and we have no answers for his shooting.
Warriors Have Steph Curry
Golden State’s Hall of Fame point guard will orchestrate everything and put up big numbers. He’ll hit contested threes, find open teammates, and generally make our lives miserable for 35+ minutes.
The Warriors might be struggling, but they have one of the greatest players ever on their roster. That gives them an edge in any game, regardless of recent form.
Betting Analysis
The Spread
Warriors -1 is essentially saying this game could go either way. Given our 6-game losing streak and their recent ATS success (2-game streak), lean Warriors.
The Moneyline
Bulls -102 offers slight value for desperate home fans believing we can end the streak. Warriors -112 is the safer play given our complete collapse.
The Total
Under 228.5 aligns with both teams’ recent trends (2 straight unders each). The low total suggests oddsmakers expect a grinding, lower-scoring affair.
Bulls’ Path to Ending Nightmare
For us to finally end this 6-game losing streak, we need:
- Contain Curry – Easier said than done, but must limit his damage
- Hit open threes – Need to match their shooting from deep
- Execute in crunch time – We’ve blown close games all season
- Show some pride – Play like we care about ending streak
Bulls Fan Perspective
This is rock bottom. Six straight losses, facing Golden State at home in what’s basically a pick ’em game. The market is telling us we’re no better than a 4-6 Warriors team that’s also struggling.
The 1-point spread is almost insulting – we’re at home and barely favored over a team that’s also playing poorly. But given our 6-game losing streak, maybe we don’t deserve more respect.
Steph Curry at the United Center is always dangerous. He’ll score 30+, hit ridiculous shots, and probably torch us in the fourth quarter. We have no answers for him, and our defensive rotations have been terrible during this losing streak.
Sunday night at home – this is where we either end the nightmare or confirm the season is completely lost. Beat a struggling Warriors team and make it 1 loss, or lose for the seventh straight time and start looking at lottery odds.
The fact that this is basically a toss-up tells you everything about where we are right now.
Game Prediction
Projected Score: Warriors 126, Bulls 118
Golden State extends our losing streak to seven games with a road victory. Curry drops 32 points, hitting daggers in the fourth quarter, and we can’t keep pace despite playing at home.
The game goes over 228.5 points as both teams score more than expected, but our defense can’t get the crucial stops needed.
Best Bets:
- Warriors -1 (safer play) – They’re the better team right now
- Over 228.5 (slight lean) – Curry will score plenty
- Avoid Bulls ML – We’re not ending streak against Curry
For Bulls fans, this represents potential rock bottom. Lose for the seventh straight time at home against a struggling Warriors team, and the season is effectively over.
See Red (but expect more pain)…
