5. The Bulls head to The Bay to face the defending champs on Black Friday

Kicking off our list at No. 5 is the Bulls’ meeting on Nov. 24 against the Golden State Warriors on Black Friday. It’s the first of two meetings the Bulls will have against the defending title-winners and this game is curious for a few different reasons.

  1. It’s the Warriors. Any time you can sit down and watch the Warriors, it’s good. They’re the best team in the world with four of the 20-25 best players on the planet today. The Bulls … don’t exactly have that, but it’s always nice to see 1997 NBA Finals hero Steve Kerr and his bunch of stars.
  2. The betting line for this game is going to be outrageous. The Bulls are going to be freakin’ bad this season and the Warriors are probably going to win at least 60 games again this season for the fourth straight season. The only intrigue in this game is the line prior to this game and that’s with the possibility of Warrior players resting on the first night of a back-to-back set for Golden State.

Over the last couple of seasons, the Bulls have some weird victories against the Warriors, including a TNT victory (of course) over the Dubs last season where the Splash Brothers shot about 3-for-75 on the night while 2017 NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant was banged up with the knee issue late last season. This game probably won’t bring one of those odd wins, but it’s the best team in the league. You might want to check them out.
