Spread Pick for Wizards vs. Bulls
- Chicago Bulls -13 (5 units)
The Washington Wizards are going through a tough time, starting the regular season having lost 13 of their first 14 games. Leading scorer and rebounder Alex Sarr is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Chicago. Without Sarr, Washington will be shorthanded in scoring as well as on the boards. Chicago is receiving excellent play from Josh Giddey, who averages 20.8 points and 9.7 assists per game. The Bulls have Coby White back after the guard missed the first 12 games of the regular season. White has started strong with an average of 26.0 points and 7.5 assists per game. Chicago has covered the spread in 12 of its last 19 games, and the Bulls are 6-1 ATS in the last seven games played at home. Washington has covered the spread in just two of its last 13 games. While both are completing back-to-backs, Chicago will have a slight advantage as both its games will be at home, while both of Washington's are on the road
Over/Under Pick for Washington Wizards vs. Chicago Bulls
- Over (3 units)
As previously mentioned, Chicago is 4th in the NBA in scoring, 24th in points allowed, and Washington is 30th or last in the NBA in points allowed. Both will be completing back-to-backs, but that should not have an effect on the pace for this game, as both like to put up as many shots as possible at the hoop. The total has finished over in five of Washington's last seven games and in five of Chicago's last six games.
