*8* SURE SHOT on Chicago Bulls.

The Golden State Warriors are still undefeated as a late rally saw them overcome the Clippers in Los Angeles yesterday. They'll host the Chicago Bulls here the very next day, and I think this is a favorable spot for the visitors.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Warriors Schedule - Golden State will play its third game in four nights and had to put in a real effort last night after trailing the Clippers by 23 points at halftime. Both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson logged close to 40 minutes and don't be surprised if we see some slow feet initially from the Warriors tonight.

2. The Bulls Backcourt - There is no doubt that the Warriors are boasting possibly the best backcourt in the league, but the Bulls are not to shabby in that department either. Jimmy Butler put up a season-high 32 points in the 103-97 win against Phoenix Wednesday. He did so without his backcourt compatriot Derrick Rose who is battling with a sprained left ankle and Rose is questionable for tonight's game as well. Kirk Hinrich started in place of Rose against the Suns and scored 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting while dealing six assists though.

3. X-Factor - The Warriors have covered the spread in just one of their last five home-games.

Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Bulls (8*)
