Washington Wizards vs Chicago Bulls preview

The Wizards are on a four-game losing streak and have won just two of their past 10 games. Their 1-14 away record doesn’t paint a pretty picture either. Washington last played the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday and lost 109-103. Corey Kispert led the team with 23 points, Kyle Kuzma had 16 points and Jonas Valanciunas had a double-double of 14 points and 14 rebounds.

Jordan Poole missed the game with a hip injury and is listed as questionable for Friday’s game as well.

Chicago has blown hot and cold throughout the season, as evidenced by its 5-5 record in the past 10 games. The Bulls have also struggled at home with a 7-11 record.

After racking up two impressive wins against the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs, the Bulls lost 129-113 to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Zach LaVine had 31 points, but that wasn’t enough to prevent a lopsided loss.

Washington Wizards vs Chicago Bulls betting props

Kyle Kuzma’s points total is set at 17.5. He hasn’t crossed that mark in the past two games. However, the Wizards-Bulls game is expected to be a shootout, thus Kuzma should score at least 18 points.

Zach LaVine has been on a tear recently, breaching the 30-point mark in each of his past four games. His points total for the game is set at 26.5. Washington’s defense is unlikely to cause any issues for LaVine. Bet on the over for this prop as well.

Washington Wizards vs Chicago Bulls prediction

The oddsmakers heavily favor Chicago to get a win Friday. While the Bulls should get a win, they could fail to cover the spread. This should be a high-scoring game with the team total going past 241.5 points.
