Neither of these teams started the season as expected. Despite their poor start to the season, both teams are just a few wins behind the Orlando Magic, currently in 8th place in the Eastern Conference. The Chicago Bulls are currently 10th in the standings with 19 wins and 35 losses. 8 of their 27 wins have come on the road. The Chicago Bulls will take on the Philadelphia 76ers, who lost 111-118 last night on the road. The Washington Wizards also lost their last meeting at home to the Memphis Grizzlies, 99-106.
Chicago Bulls
Injuries are one of the main things that prevent this young team from playing and moving forward. Almost every game has a few key rotation players missing, and in this game we will once again not see Kris Dunn, Lauri Markkanen, Otto Porter and Wendell Carter. Also, it will be clear before the game starts whether Arcidiacono, Gafford, Lavine, Satoransky and Valentine will be on the floor. The Chicago Bulls have no shortage of young and talented players, as we have already seen with the impressive performances of Z. Lavine this season.
The Chicago Bulls are averaging 106.2 points per game and 109.2 assists per game this season. The Bulls' undisputed leader is Zach Lavine, who joined the team last season. The 24-year-old Zach Lavine, who has had a great start this season, leads the Bulls in scoring, averaging 25 points per game. If it is decided to keep the leader, the Bulls are unlikely to have a serious chance against the Wizards on the road.
Washington Wizards
The Washington Wizards have been without their nominal leader John Wall since the middle of last season, so now Bradley Beal is the team's clear leader, averaging 29.1 points and 6.3 assists per game. Like the Bulls, the Washington Wizards have been plagued by injuries this season and have played a lot of games with an 8-9 man rotation. However, it seems that almost all the players will be ready for this game and we will not see T. Bryant and A. Pasecniks on the court in cameo roles.
This will be the 6th consecutive home game for the Washington Wizards, and it seems that the team is starting to pick up the pace after a rough start to the season. In the last 5 meetings at home, the Wizards have beaten the Dallas Mavericks, the Brooklyn Nets and the Charlotte Hornets, while they have only lost to the Memphis Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors. It is also important to mention that the Wizards are one of the highest scoring teams in the league, and the rotation will be higher for this game. This is why the Wizards are likely to maintain a higher tempo and have the advantage.
Forecast
Although it is still unclear how some of the Bulls players will perform in the game, the Wizards are in any case the clear favourites in this match. The capital's team, which has been in good form lately, will finally have a nearly full rotation and will be able to show what this team is really worth. The Wizards could have been expected to have a bigger advantage, so -3 with 1.9 odds looks very reliable here.
