The Chicago Bulls look to begin another winning streak after they had a six-game run end in Atlanta on Saturday. The Bulls, who had covered the spread in five of those six straight up victories, lost 120-105 as 2.5-point dogs at the Hawks, and host the Washington Wizards Monday evening.
- The total has gone OVER in nine of the Bulls’ last 12 games.
- The Wizards are 3-7 SU and ATS in their last 10 games after a win.
- The Wizards are 5-0 SU in their last five games as underdogs against the Bulls.
Despite dwelling in the basement of the NBA’s Southeast Division with a 16-19 record, the Wizards have been an above .500 team at the betting window, heading into Monday’s contest 19-16 ATS. Furthermore, the Wizards have gone 8-3 ATS in their last 11 contests overall and have performed exceptionally well versus the Bulls in their head-to-head contests, going 12-5 ATS in the past 17 meetings.
Jimmy Butler has really begun to assert himself as the leader of the Bulls since we flipped our calendar to 2016.
