Bulls vs Wizards Prediction
I’m not excited to lay this many points with the Bulls. In fact, this will be the first time since 2015 when the Bulls are favorites of 15 or more points. You don’t see these numbers often in the NBA. With that said, the Bulls need a win to keep their spot in the play-in tournament, and the Wizards are 33-46-1 ATS on the season despite being massive underdogs nightly. The Bulls beat the Wizards back in January by 33 points. This game shouldn’t be close. I’ll lay the buckets with the Bulls at home.
