Prediction
Wizards 123, Bulls 116
Moneyline (ML)
The Wizards (-134) are slight favorites on the road, and looking to recover after a disappointing loss last time out. They were upended by the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-108 at home Friday, so expect them to come out angry in this one. Chicago (+110) ranks 24th in the NBA in defensive field-goal percentage at 47.5%, so Washington should bounce back nicely. The Wizards are 5-1 ATS in the past six after a straight-up loss, and 4-1 ATS in the past five after a non-cover.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Wizards to win returns a profit of just $7.46.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The WIZARDS ( -2.5, -106) are the play here, unless you'd rather bet the ML with a little more juice and not worry about having Washington win by at least 3 points. The Bulls (+2.5, -115) just have too many injuries.
Over/Under (O/U)
The OVER 229.5 ( -110) is the trend for the Wiz, going 5-1 in the past six road games, while going 12-5 in the past 17 on the road against teams with a home winning percentage under .400. The Over is 8-2 in the past 10 overall for the Bulls, too. The Over is also 11-4-1 in the previous 16 head-to-head meetings in the Windy City.
