Kristaps Porzingis will be sidelined for this game in Chicago. Daniel Gafford has played two games against his former team without Porzingis on the court. In those two games, Gafford averaged 16.5 points and 8.0 rebounds. Gafford should be able to get enough touches to go over this number.

Is it time to believe in my Bulls again? Definitely not going that far, but they played maybe their best game of the season last time out in routing Brooklyn coincidentally or not in the debut of Patrick Beverley. The Bulls needed a bulldog-type guy like that, and he should help pester Bradley Beal plenty here. But the main reason I'm playing this is no Kristaps Porzingis (22.8 ppg, 8.6 rpg) for the Wiz.

The Bulls got a lift from the addition of Patrick Beverley, as he had eight points, five rebounds and four assists in 22 minutes versus Brooklyn. Off of that blowout win, the Bulls host a Wizards team that will be missing Kristaps Porzingis (22.8 ppg, 8.6 rpg, 37.6 percent on 3-pointers). Beverley knows his role is not to shoot and he facilitated for Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. This is an important game in the playoff race, and I like the Bulls to carry over the momentum from Friday's sensational performance.
