Wizards at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Bulls 110, Wizards 101
Moneyline
Games can be won or lost based on extra possessions. The Bulls are number 1 in the league in limiting their opponents offensive rebounds, allowing just 8.8 a game.
On top of that Washington doesn’t get a lot of turnovers. Opponents turn the ball over 11.1 times a game when they play the Wizards, the lowest in the league.
That being said the line is a bit too juicy. Its best to PASS.

Going back to last season Chicago covers against teams with a losing road record (20-8 in their last 28) and Washington is 3-8 as the visiting team.
LEAN Bulls -5.5 (-105).
