The Chicago Bulls play host to the Washington Wizards at the United Center on Wednesday, January 11, in NBA regular season action. The betting odds and previews are given below:
Following a very impressive three-game win streak that saw the Bulls beat the Nets, the 76ers and the Jazz in consecutive games, Chicago are now up to 10th place in the Eastern conference standings. With an overall record of 19-22 they are now level on wins with the Atlanta Hawks, who are above them in ninth place in the East and a win tonight could take the Bulls above them. They come into this game on the back of a 99-107 defeat against the Boston Celtics, a game where Zach LaVine performed admirably, leading his team in scoring with 27 points.
The Wizards seemed to have revived that season after winning five in a row, but have lost momentum once again. They have now lost all of their last three games, the latest of which came against the New Orleans Pelicans 132-112. They have now fallen to a 17-24 record overall and are down to 12th place in the East, a game behind the Raptors who have 18 wins.

Wizards vs. Bulls Betting Prediction
The Bulls have won three of their last four games and look the much better side in this contest. They have a very strong home record, having won 11 of their 20 games at the United Center thus far.
The Wizards are winless in three and have looked very weak in terms of chance creation in the absence of Bradley Beal. The Bulls should take this one.
Bulls: -115
