BETTING TRENDS
Chicago are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games.
Chicago are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games on the road.
Washington are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games.
The total has gone OVER in 10 of Washington's last 14 games.
Prediction
The Bulls continue to struggle, they've lost 6 of the last 10 games and have failed to cover the spread in 10 of their last 11 games on the road but they're 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against Washington including the last 2 games this season. The Wizards will have their top scorer in Kyle Kuzma out for this game and they've lost 7 of their last 10 games. Chicago will likely hold Lavine out because of his knee and with both teams struggled to score lately and their top scorers out I think the play is the under.
PICK: Under 222.5 (-110)
