Chicago at Washington

Chicago just finished a brutal stretch playing six of eight against some of the best teams in the league. They upset Houston  on March 23 (132-124) as a +8.5 underdog, but have taken their lumps ever since, losing seven in a row. Tonight is the time to snap out of that funk. The offense is 13th in scoring (116.1 ppg) and 14th in shooting. Washington has the NBA's worst record and is tied for the worst home mark (11-27). The defense is 29th in points allowed (124.6 per game) and 26th in opponent shooting (48.7%), while the offense is 25th in scoring and 24th from the free-throw line (76.7%). The Wizards have lost six in a row and 22 of 23. Play Chicago on the moneyline.
