Chicago Bulls Daily Fantasy Spin
Bulls shooting guard Ayo Dosunmu has been downgraded to questionable against the Warriors on Thursday night. He’s dealing with a calf injury. Dosunmu is averaging 12.3 points per game in 30.6 minutes per contest this season.
Chicago starting point guard Coby White (ankle) will sit out Thursday’s game against Golden State. White is averaging 18.2 points and 4.7 assists per game this year.
Bulls shooting guard Chris Duarte (personal) and point guard Jevon Carter (illness) both missed Monday’s game against the Clippers. Their status is unclear heading into Thursday’s game.
Golden State Warriors Daily Fantasy Spin
Warriors power forwards Draymond Green (calf) and Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) have both been ruled out for Thursday’s home date with the Bulls. Green will likely miss at least 2 more games while Kuminga is in a walking boot and should be out for a significant period of time.
Golden State forward Kevon Looney was removed from Wednesday’s game due to an illness. His status for Thursday’s contest is up in the air.
Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (abdomen) and small forward Kyle Anderson (hip) both sat out Wednesday’s game. It’s unknown at the time of this writing if they’ll be able to suit up on Thursday.

Bulls vs. Warriors NBA Prediction:
Chicago will have a decided rest advantage in this contest. The Bulls last played on Monday night in Los Angeles. They beat the Clippers 112-99 in that contest. Golden State last played on Wednesday night in Sacramento. The Warriors lost that matchup 123-117. The Warriors have an aging roster and will likely be missing multiple key players for this contest.
Chicago has a younger roster and will be relatively well-rested for this interconference clash. What’s more, the Bulls have excelled on intermediate rest since the start of last season. Chicago is an NBA-best 17-6-1 ATS when playing on 2 or 3 days of rest since the start of last year’s campaign. For rest and availability reasons, I’m taking the Bulls on the road in San Francisco on Thursday night.
