Chicago at Washington

Chicago is in third place in the league covering six of seven versus the Eastern Conference, as well as 6-1 ATS against winning teams. Their +5.4 point differential is the third-best and they're 90-60 ATS against teams that outscore their opponents by 3+ points per contest. Washington is favored, but a .500 home team with an offense that is eighth in the 12-team league in scoring and free throw shooting. Washington has lost two in a row, including a 74-70 loss in their last home game to New York as a double-digit favorite. Washington is 6-15 ATS after four consecutive games where both teams scored 70+ points, so back the underdog that is playing very well. Play Chicago.
