Chicago vs Washington Prediction: Choosing Several Total Options

Chicago lost to Washington in an away game on January 2nd, which was a bit of a shock. But will the Bulls be able to get one over on the last team in the Eastern Conference at home a week later? Telecomasia has got you covered with free prediction, bookmaker odds, statistical trends, and a bunch of bets on the upcoming match.

Chicago

By the end of the first half of the regular season, the Bulls haven't quite found their groove yet. They're losing as often as they're winning. In the last match, Billy Donovan's team was beaten on the road by Indiana, 113–129. Chicago lost pretty much all the key indicators: 39–46 in rebounds, 23–37 in assists, 6–11 in steals.

But on the flip side, the hosts have won four out of the last six games. Unfortunately, looking at the bigger picture, we see they've actually won 17 matches and failed 20. That puts the team in tenth place in the Eastern Conference, just ahead of Philadelphia, so it's not like they're leading the way in the race for the play-in.

Washington

The Wizards have played four games since their surprise victory over Chicago and fled all of them. First, Washington lost twice in a row to the worst team in the Western Conference, New Orleans (120-132 away, 98-110 at home), and then at home to Houston (112-135). Then, just before the trip to Chicago, the capital club faced Philadelphia's team (half-reserve) at home. They were ahead at half-time but still failed in the end (103-109).Washington has been at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings almost from the start of the championship, 6-29.

H2H Meetings

This season, the opponents have had two matches in Washington, with Chicago winning 127-108 in November and losing 107-125 in January. The season series in the last championship ended with a score of 2-1 in favour of the Bulls.

Expert Betting Tips

Chicago and Washington are the two worst teams in defense, conceding more than 243 points combined. In the first two games of the season series, they didn't manage to get above this total, but maybe they'll exceed it on the third try. We're going to bet on a total over, and also on Chicago, because the Bulls are clearly better than the Wizards. And we're also going to choose the three-pointers total under.
