3 Best Prop Bets For Bulls vs. Warriors: Expect Golden State's Defense To Show Up
The Chicago Bulls and the Golden State Warriors will meet tonight in a matchup of two of the league's best teams. The Bulls will be missing Nikola Vucevic due to a positive COVID-19 test, but the Bulls still have plenty of fire power to go against the Warriors' top ranked defense.
There's always matchups within the matchup and that's what player props are for. Here are my three best bets for tonight's matchup.

DeMar DeRozan OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-115)
DeRozan is averaging 5.8 rebounds a game this year and is coming off a successful rebounding performance against Dallas. Since leaving Toronto, DeRozan has played a lot more power forward and has been a better rebounder for it. Nikola Vucevic is set to miss a couple games after testing positive for COVID-19. The Bulls are going to have a replacement, but DeRozan will easily be able to fill the rebounding role Vucevic held. I’ll take the over on this prop at a pick’em.
Lonzo Ball UNDER 14.5 Points (-130)
Ball has transformed his game and has become a great shooter, but he still isn’t a great all-around scorer. If the Bulls need him to take a shot he will, otherwise he’s dishing the ball and running the show. Against Dallas, Ball had 21 points, but all of them came from 3-pointers. This Warriors defense is the best in the league, so I don’t expect a lot of points to be available, nor open shots for Ball to take. He’s only cleared this number three times this season, so I’ll take the under here.
Zach LaVine UNDER 27.5 Points (-125)
We all know how good of a scorer LaVine is, but there are a lot of mouths to feed in Chicago now. LaVine has only gone above this number three times and two of them came in the first two games of the season. The same logic I had with Ball (great defense, not a lot of points to be scored) applies here with LaVine. Unless the Bulls explode for 125 points, i don’t see LaVine hitting the over.
