Warriors vs. Bulls watch guide: Lineups, injuries, player usage

Share

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Warriors have played just well enough to lose over the last week. 

On Wednesday, they'll try to reverse the trend against the lowly Bulls. Fortunately, Golden State likely will have Draymond Green in the lineup following a three-game absence. 

Wins have been hard to come by for the league's worst team, but the Warriors have shown life in recent games, losing their last two outings by seven combined points. With the Bulls in town, they'll have as good a chance as ever to get their fourth win of the season.
