What to Know
The Chicago Bulls take a road trip to face off against the Washington Wizards at 7:00 pm ET on Tuesday at Capital One Arena. The Wizards have the home field advantage, but the Bulls are expected to win by 4.5 points.
The Bulls are headed into Tuesday’s game after hitting the impressive 244-point over/under the oddsmakers set for their last game against the Grizzlies. The Bulls fell 142-131 to the Grizzlies on Saturday. Keeping the score this high, both teams likely have some extra defensive drills coming up.
Even though the team lost, they still had their share of impressive performances. One of the best came from Zach LaVine, who scored 29 points plus two steals. His evening made it four games in a row in which he scored at least 30 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Nikola Vucevic, who went 9 for 14 en route to 26 points plus eight rebounds.
Even though they lost, the Bulls worked as a unit and finished the game with 29 assists (they are ranked fifth in assists per game overall). That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they have now posted at least 25 assists in 12 consecutive games.
Meanwhile, the Wizards’ recent rough patch got a little rougher on Sunday after their 11th straight loss. They took a 115-103 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Pacers. That’s two games in a row now that Washington has lost by exactly 12 points.
Chicago’s defeat dropped their record down to 7-11. As for Washington, their loss dropped their record down to 2-13.
Look at the arc in Tuesday’s contest: The Bulls have been dynamite from deep this season, draining 38.5% of their threes per game. It’s a different story for the Wizards, however, as they’ve made just 32.8% of their threes this season. Given the Bulls’ considerable advantage in that area, the Wizards will have to find a way to close that gap.
The Bulls outrebounded the Wizards 129-127 when the teams last played back in April. Will the Bulls repeat their success, or do the Wizards have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.
