The Wizards won only five out of 30 games in this championship and uniquely occupy the last place in the Eastern Conference. Judging by the game, as well as taking into account the limited personnel resource, Washington looks, perhaps, the main contender in the East to close the standings at the end of the season.
The Wizards played the previous two games at home against New York, one of the leaders of the championship. In the first game, Brian Keefe's team unexpectedly put the Knicks in a fight, losing only in overtime - 132:136 (119:119). For the second game, the Capitals did not have enough strength - a defeat with a double-digit difference in score 106:126.
Chicago Bulls
The Bulls look like a team that should play in the playoffs. At the moment, Chicago has a negative 15-18 win-loss record. However, the average level of their Eastern rivals today, even with this balance, allows the Bulls to go in the top ten - on the ninth line, that is, in the play-in zone.
The team approaches the game in Washington with two wins in a row. First, the Bulls unexpectedly beat Milwaukee at home (116:111), and then earned a road win over Charlotte (115:108 (98:98) in overtime).
Expert Betting Tips
Washington is the last team of the Eastern Conference, and is unlikely to get rid of this status in the near future. Actually, the Wizards have no such task, as the worst result in the regular season gives them a better chance in the draft lottery. Chicago expects to make the playoffs already in the current championship, and such opponents as Washington, even on the road team Billy Donovan simply must beat. We bet here on the Bulls, as well as the total over.
