Bulls @ Wizards
Recommendation: Bulls +1
Classic bounce back spot here for the Chicago Bulls as they’re coming off of one of their worst losses of the season. Chicago lost by 20 to the Jazz on Wednesday, a game in which they couldn’t make a shot. Before that game they were rolling, and if there’s any team in the NBA that will come back with a big performance on both sides of the court after getting embarrassed, it’s the Bulls. Coach Tom Thibodeau is a no nonsense, defense first type of guy, and he won’t stand for that type of performance.
The Wizards are coming off of a 10 point win over the hapless Knicks. New York was without Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, and JR Smith. Washington has played good basketball pretty much all year long and it will be a good battle tonight between Derrick Rose and John Wall. Rose got the best of him last time these teams played, scoring 25 points in a Bulls 8 point victory. Chicago is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Washington and I expect that trend to continue tonight. Take the Bulls.
