Washington at Chicago

Chicago has lost eight straight games, and I am pretty sure that after tonight, it's gonna be nine. They enter this game on short rest after losing at home to the Suns, their 18th home loss out of 29 games thus far. There's strife between players and coaches, and the wheels just seem to be coming off for this team. The Wizards won the last contest, 126-114, and I see no reason this game will be any different. Chicago's offense at home is actually worse than it is on the road. The Bulls have really struggled against good three-point teams like Washington, going 57-73 ATS the past season and a half vs. teams that make six-plus 3-pointers per game. They are also 11-22 ATS vs. up-tempo teams like the Wizards that average 88+ shots per game. Since last season, the Bulls are 17-30 ATS as a home dog, and this season they are 14-23 ATS revenging a loss. The Wizards may be a bit cantankerous for this game as they are off an upset loss to the Cavs, losing 113-108 as six-point chalk. Head coach Scott Brooks is 97-66 ATS following an upset loss. I expect Chicago to lay down to a motivated Washington team here. Take the Wizards for a Max Play.
