Washington Wizards vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

We know the Washington Wizards are probably the worst team in the league, and making a case to back them is difficult.  The Chicago Bulls have quietly won four of their last six games and are surprisingly inching closer toward a .500 record. The Bulls should be favored. With all that said, seeing the Bulls as a double-digit favorite is enough to cause a double-take. This is the first time the Bulls are double-digit favorites this season. In fact, this is just the ninth time since May 2021 that the Bulls are a double-digit favorite. Again, the Wizards are awful and probably do lose ugly, but double-digit chalk with the Bulls?! I’m just not buying it, and it’s a number we don’t see often with this franchise. I’m going to grab the points with the Wizards if forced to pick.
