Wizards at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 123, Wizards 108

Moneyline

PASS.

You should avoid betting the Bulls (-700) as the juice is too much. Bet the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

BET BULLS -12 (-110).

Nothing heals what ails you like the Wizards coming to town. The Bulls need to get this win before the Indiana Pacers arrive on Wednesday. Chicago has failed to cover the spread in 4 of its last 5, but the 1 game they did was against the Wizards. The Bulls need to take advantage of this gimmie win as they try to hold onto their playoff seeding.

The Wizards are 1-6 against the spread (ATS) in their last 7 games. They are 31-38-2 ATS on the season.

Over/Under

BET OVER 225.5 (-110).

These 2 played to the Over in their 1st meeting. The Bulls are 6-0 against the Over in their last 6 games while the Wizards are 4-2.

Washington is the fastest team in the league when it comes to possessions per game (105.9). That fact comes at a price though as the Wizards don't play much defense, allowing the most points per game in the league (123.7).
