Washington Wizards vs Chicago Bulls Prediction

The Wizards are still missing a host of players, including Saddiq Bey, Anthony Gill, Richaun Holmes, and Khris Middleton, while the Bulls have ruled out Lonzo Ball, Tre Jones, and Ayo Dosunmu. The Wizards come into this meeting as one of the coldest teams in the league, and their confidence must be at an all-time low after getting thrashed by the lowly 76ers in their last outing. In contrast, the Bulls have been playing some of their best basketball of the season, they are relatively healthy, and they really shouldn’t have any problems running up the score against this Wizards squad with nothing to play for.
