Wizards vs Bulls prediction
I’m not running to the window to lay double-digit chalk with the Bulls, but we have no choice in this spot. The Wizards continue to rack up the losses, and they’ve failed to cover 6 of their last 7 games. Now we’re seeing Kuzma and Poole on the injury list, which makes matters worse for the Wizards and is the reason this line has ballooned. The Bulls need all of the wins they can get in terms of their playoff chase and games like this, especially at home are gifts. The Bulls beat the Wizards by 29 points a little over a week ago. Massive line, but its Bulls or pass for me.
