Bulls Look To Build On Two-Game Streak
The Chicago Bulls play host to the Golden State Warriors at United Center on Friday evening.

The Bulls (8-14) look to build on a two-game winning streak, as they are coming off a win in Sacramento followed by a home win over the Grizzlies in their most recent contest, on Wednesday. Zach LaVine leads the Bulls with 22.5 points per game, while shooting 41.5 percent from long range. Wendell Carter Jr. is averaging 12.7 points and a team-high 9.9 rebounds per game, while Tomas Satoransky is averaging 9.7 points, 5.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. The Bulls are 4-7 at home and enter the second game of a stretch where they play six-of-seven games at home. The Bulls average a league-best 9.5 steals per game, but they could do a better job of taking care of the ball themselves, as they are giving up an average of 15.0 turnovers per game.

Meanwhile, this marks the fifth and final game of a road trip for the Warriors (4-19), where they have gone 0-4, with losses in Miami, Orlando, Atlanta and Charlotte. On the positive side D'Angelo Russell (thumb) returned to action after being sidelined for a few weeks and is probable for action on Friday. In the 11 games Russell has played this season, he is averaging 23.7 points, 6.3 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game. Eric Paschall continues to play well, averaging 17.3 points 5.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Alec Burks has also stepped up, averaging 15.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals over his last 10 games. The Warriors are averaging 104.9 points per game, which is fourth fewest in the league. They are also struggling from long range, as they average 9.2 three per game, which is second fewest in the league.
