Wizards vs Bulls Prediction
The Bulls have the edge at home with both teams on the end of a back-to-back, and this is their home opener, so the crowd should show up. However, the Wizards are in a better position to win now, and if they’re going to make a playoff push, these are games they need to take advantage of. The Wizards have vets who are playing well out of the gate, and it makes them worth a look over a young Bulls team that’s still trying to figure things out. I’ll lay the bucket.
