The Golden State Warriors come into Chicago riding an 11 game win streak, and sitting in first place in the Western Conference. The Bulls are 2.5 games back of the Raptors in the East, and they've lost four of six at home. I think the Warriors will remain hot, handing the Bulls another home loss.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Defense - It's the Bulls who have the reputation as one of the NBA's best defensive teams. That hasn't been the case so far this season, as they rank in the bottom half of the league with an opponent's scoring average of 99.9 points per game. The Warriors rank 7th, allowing just 95.9 points per game.
2. Splash Brothers - Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are both averaging more than 20 points per game so far, and Thompson connected on five three-point shots in the win over New Orleans Thursday.
3. X-Factor - The Warriors are 9-1 on the road, while Chicago is just 2-4 at home.
Selection: This is a play on the Golden State Warriors (10*)
