Washington at Chicago

Washington is favored but has dropped five of seven. They went 2-3 on a five-game homestand, losing as favorites to Los Angeles (93-86) and Golden State (68-67), while also getting routed by Phoenix (88-72). Washington's offense is 10th in the 13-team league in scoring, 10th in 3-point shooting (32.8%), and 12th from the free-throw line (75.2%). This is the second of a four-game road trip, and they lost the opener at Atlanta, 99-83. They're 4-9 straight-up on the road. Chicago plays its third straight at home. Last month, Chicago lost at Washington by a basket as a +6.5 underdog. Hungry to end an eight-game skid, this is an excellent situational spot for the home underdog to win the game. Play Chicago on the moneyline.
