The Bulls used to be all over Christmas Day, now they are lucky if they are allowed to play the same week. This is not a great spot but they might win at Washington.
The Wizards are continuing their non competitive ways, having lost two in a row. They are definitely more competitive at home though and the Bulls are bad so this spot looks good for them.
Chicago Bulls
This was always going to be a development season for the Bulls and now that they are healthy they can finally tinker with their toys to see what they really have. The coach was fired though so it is hard to really know who is pulling the strings.

Scoring is an issue for this group – they are last in the league at 100ppg. Recently they have been bringing top scorer Zach Lavine off the bench. I am not sure it really matters when he gets his minutes as Chicago is often out of games pretty early.
I believe the move is all about trying to develop some chemistry between Lauri Markkanen and Wendell Carter. Neither is a true back to the basket type post but in the early days of their playing together you can see how it might work because both can be dangerous far from the basket.

Kris Dunn and Ryan Arcidiacono were accomplished college players who are heady with the ball but they have trouble scoring in the NBA. They are neither great shooters nor strong off the drive and if you don’t have one strong skill in the NBA then you are just too easy to guard.
Normally on the road it would be easy to fade the Bulls but in this situation with Washington struggling too you just never know.
Washington Wizards
In back to back road losses to Eastern Conference contenders the Wizards finished pretty far off the pace. Their backcourt can put up numbers against any foe but the rest of the team is really light and eventually it comes down to that.
John Wall and Bradley Beal are not getting much help and the team is a disaster defensively – second worst in the league. They have no rim protection at the moment with Dwight Howard out with injury. Thomas Bryant is doing his best in the middle but is not the same kind of player.

There is still some time and enough bad teams for the Wizards to kind of get back into the race in the Eastern Conference. I am not putting much stock into it but it is a possibility for sure. This is a must win in that scenario.

Free Chicago Bulls vs. Washington Wizards NBA Prediction:
The Wizards are the smart favourite in this one but backing them means you are backing the Wizards…and that is not exactly a fun proposition.
Backing the Bulls really means you are taking a gamble though. You are almost always getting points but they struggle scoring so there is that too.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Wizards -5.5
Against a team with a really light backcourt it is easier to be comfortable taking the Wizards.
