Bulls vs. Warriors: Over/Under 225 Points is the Smart Bet
High-Scoring Affair Expected in Chicago
Golden State Favored Despite Bulls' Home-Court Advantage
When the Chicago Bulls host the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night, bettors should expect a high-scoring affair. The over/under for the game is set at 225 points, and the Warriors are favored by 7 points.
There are several reasons to believe that the over will hit. First, both teams are known for their offensive firepower. The Warriors have the league's second-best offensive rating, and the Bulls are 10th. Second, the Bulls have been playing at a fast pace this season, and the Warriors are one of the league's best transition teams. Third, the Warriors have been struggling defensively, and the Bulls have been able to score consistently against good defenses.
Of course, there are also reasons to believe that the under could hit. First, the Warriors are still without Stephen Curry, who is their best player. Second, the Bulls have been playing well defensively lately, and they have held opponents to an average of 105.4 points per game over their last five games. Third, the Warriors have been playing on the road a lot lately, and they could be tired.
Ultimately, the over/under is a coin flip. However, there are more reasons to believe that the over will hit than the under. If you're betting on this game, the smart play is to take the over.
