The Chicago Bulls will play host to the Washington Wizards at the United Center on Wednesday (December 7) in NBA Regular Season action. The betting odds and predictions are given below:
The Chicago Bulls have gone 9-14 thus far, placing 12th in the Eastern Conference standings on the back of a three-game losing streak. They have won only one of their last five games. They come into this game after a 110-101 loss against the Sacramento Kings. Even Zach LaVine's 40-piece didn't get the Bulls close to a victory.
The Wizards are in a similar vein, losing all of their last three. They have fallen to an 11-13 record, placing 10th in the East. A juggernaut performance from Anthony Davis sank the Wizards 119-130 against the Lakers.
Bradley Beal has once again been brilliant for the Wizards, scoring a team-high 23 points per game. He also leads the side in assists with 5.4 per game. He only managed to play three minutes against the Lakers amidst injury concerns.
DeMar DeRozan has also been sensational for the Bulls, averaging 25.5 points a night in addition to five assists, both of which are team-high numbers. He is coming off a couple of sloppy games according to lofty standards, averaging 17 across the two games in December.

Wizards vs. Bulls Betting Prediction
This one is tough to call. Both sides come into this game in terrible form. The Wizards are a much stronger team, but without talisman Bradley Beal, their chance creation will take a massive hit. The Bulls still have their heavy hitting core on show, which will help them massively at home. The Bulls should just about edge this one.
