Chicago Bulls vs Golden State Warriors Preview

The Chicago Bulls are coming off a 127-108, 19-point loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves in their last game. The Bulls haven’t been at their best since the departure of Zach LaVine to the Kings. Their offensive production has taken a hit, while their rookie, Matas Buzelis, has shown his shooting ability, tallying 14, 24, and 12 points in his last three games. Lonzo Ball, who also signed an extension, missed the game against the Timberwolves as a precautionary measure due to a knee injury, but he will return to the starting lineup against the Warriors, replacing Buzelis. Nikola Vucevic will now have an additional role offensively; the center is averaging 19.5 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game this season.

The Golden State Warriors are coming off a 120-112 loss on their trip to Crypto.com Arena against the Lakers. Despite Steph Curry’s 37 points and 7 rebounds, the Warriors lacked support from other players; Buddy Hield scored 15 points, and Draymond Green scored 12 points. However, they will get some support against the Bulls, as one of their former players, Jimmy Butler, is likely to make his Warriors debut on Saturday. Butler, so far this season, is averaging 17 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists. His arrival bolsters the Warriors’ offense and defense, where he can target the paint and score, which frees up Steph Curry.
