Golden State Warriors vs Chicago Bulls Starting Lineups and Depth Charts for Feb. 8 | 2024-25 NBA Season

The Golden State Warriors begin a new era when they visit the Chicago Bulls on Saturday with Jimmy Butler on the roster. Butler joined Steph Curry to form the league's new star duo, hoping to rejuvenate the slumping Warriors with 31 games left in the season. The Warriors begin this era a game under .500 (25-26), 11th in the West.

For Butler, he begins this chapter against his first team, the Bulls. The Warriors are favorites entering this matchup despite their poor form. They have more talent and are pushing for a playoff spot. On the other hand, the Bulls have committed to their rebuild by trading Zach LaVine and investing more in developing their young core.

The Warriors enter this clash behind a 120-112 loss against the LA Lakers. The Warriors fought valiantly in that game, nearly erasing a 26-point deficit in the second half. However, they eventually fell short. It was always going to be an uphill battle with a shorthanded roster with four players departing the team in the Butler trade.

Meanwhile, the Bulls have three losses and three wins in their previous six outings. The Timberwolves beat them 127-108 in their last game. It was a relatively close battle for three quarters until the Wolves pulled away with a 33-18 advantage in the fourth. Coby White had 20 points, and Josh Giddey finished with 19.
