The Golden State Warriors are hosting the Chicago Bulls for the first meeting between these two teams this season. The Warriors are coming off a disappointing loss last night to the Sacramento Kings and have fallen below .

According to Evan Sidery, the Bulls and Warriors have remained engaged in trade talks centered on Nikola Vucevic for weeks. Chicago desires a 1st-round pick for him, but Golden State is only willing to include 2nd-round draft capital. They would send out expiring contracts to match salaries.

The Jimmy Butler trade saga is starting to heat up as the Feb. 6 trade deadline draws near. The veteran forward was recently handed an indefinite suspension by the Miami Heat, which could ease the way to him being traded in the coming days.
