Chicago at Washington

The Chicago Bulls are fighting for the highest seed they can get come playoff time. The Bulls are currently tied with the Raptors for the #5 seed, and the Cleveland Cavaliers remain just one game behind them in the seventh spot. It is critical to be a top-six seed to avoid the play in-game, so I think the Bulls are going to show up here vs. a Washington team that has fallen out of the playoff picture and are just 3-8 over their last 11 games. This is a big letdown spot for the Wizards, who upset Golden State their last time on the floor. The Bulls have taken four of the last five vs. Washington, and the old saying, "the team in need is the team indeed," applies here. Make the play on Chicago.
