Washington at Chicago

Premium Pick

Chicago won its first three games of the season, then lost four of its next six as new players Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo and Robin Lopez get used to playing with each other. The Bulls won at Miami on Thursday after losing at Atlanta the night before. Jimmy Butler led the Bulls with 20 points and Rondo added 16 points against the Heat. Washington blew out Boston 118-93 and then lost to Cleveland 104-95 Friday night when the Cavaliers buried 14 three-pointers. The teams have similar shooting stats as the Wizards have a .446 field goal percentage compared to .451 for Chicago. Defensively, Washington is holding opponents to 45.6 percent as opposed to 46.0 for the Bulls. Washington has covered the spread nine of its last 11 games in Chicago, which doesn't appear ready to cover tonight's big number, so take the points and play the Wizards.
