Bulls vs Wizards prediction
The Bulls are on the end of a back to back, and they clinched home court in the play-in game against the Hawks. So, I’d expect the Bulls to sit key players for this one, and you should check the injury report before betting. With that said, I still want nothing to do with the Wizards, an unserious team that’s won just 15 games all year. I’d need more points to consider the Wizards, regardless of who the Bulls play or don’t play. Give me the Bulls and the small chalk.
