Wizards at Bulls picks and predictionsPrediction
Bulls 128, Wizards 120
PASS.
The Bulls (-750) should win at home, but they’re too expensive to consider here.
BET WIZARDS +12.5 (-110).
The Bulls have outperformed expectations so far this season, but they are just 1-4-1 ATS as a favorite. They are just 2-6 straight up over their last 8 games as well, so they’ve clearly hit a wall. Expect those issues to continue.
The Wizards could get Sarr back after he was deemed questionable for Friday’s game. They have scored at least 122 points in 3 of their last 4 games, suggesting they should be able to keep pace with the Bulls’ offense.
Back WIZARDS +12.5 (-110).
BET OVER 243.5 (-110).
Neither team knows an ounce of defense. The Bulls have allowed at least 121 points in 8 straight games, going 6-2 O/U in those contests. They are 10-5 O/U on the season.
The Bulls and Wizards rank second and fifth in pace, respectively. The Wizards play at a fast tempo while owning the league’s worst defensive rating. They have allowed at least 129 points in 4 of their last 5 games and are 4-1 O/U in that span.
Take OVER 243.5 (-110).
