Chicago Bulls vs Golden State Warriors Prediction

It's hard to lay chalk with the Golden State Warriors given their current form and their injury situation. The Warriors are still down key players, and they've lost six of their last nine games. However, the Warriors are at home and will still have the best player on the floor in Curry. The Chicago Bulls aren't playing any better, with losses in six of their last eight games. And that includes losses to bad teams such as the Trail Blazers, Hornets, and Pelicans. The Warriors have playoff expectations and if that's going to happen, they simply can't blow games like this at home, injuries or not. I'll lay the bucket with the Warriors, as this is pretty much a must-win game.
