Lately, the improving Bulls have had performances more reflective of their promising roster. But their 26-point collapse against the Thunder in their last outing shows they still have a ways to go. Despite having one of the NBA's best one-on-one players in Zach LaVine, this is still a touch matchup against the score-happy, no-defense Wizards. Washington got on track with a win at Detroit and should outlast the Wizards on Wednesday for another.

Yes, the Bulls blew another big lead and lost to the Thunder on Monday. However, they have generally played better lately by winning four of their last nine games. Of the five contests that they lost, three of them were decided by two points or fewer. The Wizards have basically no depth up front with Thomas Bryant, Mortiz Wagner and Rui Hachimura all injured, so give me the Bulls and the points.

Isaiah Thomas scored 23 points in his return from a calf strain last time out, and I like him to keep it going against the visiting Bulls on Wednesday. Chicago just blew a 26-point lead in a loss to OKC. Back Washington to cover the small number.
