Washington Wizards vs Chicago Bulls prediction

The Chicago Bulls aren't a team I'm excited to back most nights, and I'm certainly not trying to lay double-digit chalk. However, it's just an indication of how bad the Washington Wizards are, a team that's not winning or covering numbers, and now they have a lengthy injury list. The Bulls need to take advantage of games like this if they're going to improve their playoff hopes. Massive line and there are better options out there, but its Bulls or pass for me.
