Chicago Bulls vs Golden State Warriors

(12-7)                      (16-2)

Start Time: 8:00 PM

TV Channel: NBATV

Preview: The Warriors are the hottest team in the NBA right now and are entering this game with a league best, 11 game win-streak, also 1.5 games above the Rockets for 1^st place in the Western Conference. Chicago, on the other hand, have been off-and-on during their last 10 games, winning a respectable 5 and still maintaining 4^th place in the East while still only 2.5 games out of 1^st. If the Bulls want to win this game tonight, they are really going to need to step up their defense which as of now, ranks 17^th in opponent points per game at 99.9 PPG. If they continue this horrid defense, the Warriors will put on an offensive showcase as they average 106.8 PPG which is good for 3^rd in the NBA. This is going to be a very tough assignment for the Bulls as they face a red hot Warriors team who have looked basically unstoppable these past few weeks, led by Steph Curry who averages around 23 points and 8 assists per night.

Prediction: The Warriors are going to pull off a win tonight as they are undefeated in their last 11 games and their stellar offensive ball movement will propel them to a hopeful victory. As long as Stephen Curry can continue his miraculous shooting ways, the Dubs will pick up their 17^th win and 12^th straight.
