Bulls vs Wizards Odds & Predictions (Jan. 11)

Wednesday's Bulls vs Wizards game is light on star power. Three of the biggest names on either side are either out or seriously questionable. The Wizards are the home team in the NBA odds.

Washington is currently a 1-point favorite in the Bulls vs Wizards game. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 pm ET at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC.

Bradley Beal is out for at least three games with a hamstring strain. Kristaps Porzingis is questionable with sore ribs. Daniel Gafford and Corey Kispert are also injured. The Wizards have lost three of their last three and are 7-10 without Beals. They lost to the Nuggets 141-128 on Monday.

DeMar DeRozan injured his right quad in Monday's loss to Boston. Zach LaVine is averaging 29 points per game during his past four games. Chicago is 8-4 in their last 12 games and ranked fifth in offensive rating. The Bulls have also beaten Brooklyn in the last 15 games, the only team that can say they’ve done that.

The current point spread suggests DeRozan won't play. Last time the teams met Chicago was favored by 5 points. The Bulls have been a top-eight team against the spread this season, posting a 21-18-2 record.

Washington is not a team of the calibre of Celtics. Chicago is a better team. If DeRozan gets the green light, the line will flip in Chicago's favor.
