The Chicago Bulls have largely enjoyed their previous meetings against the Washington Wizards. Will this be a trend that continues on Sunday, November 23, when they tip off at 12:00 AEDT at the United Center?
The Bulls have been mainly dominant in their efforts, although this season hasn’t quite gone to plan for them so far. They have been inconsistent, finding it difficult to put together a strong amount of positive form.
However, things haven’t been much better for the Wizards. Washington has one of the worst records in the NBA regular season so far, with wins being extremely rare for the franchise. With victory against the Bulls rare, will this change on Sunday?

Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards: Betting Preview
Given how we’ve already highlighted how the Wizards struggle against the Bulls when they play each other, just how badly have things been?
Well, the head-to-head over the last 25 matches (2018) provides a fairly clear picture. In this time, the Wizards have won just seven games. Interestingly, their most recent victory was last season, but it's been rare.
Over the last five games, the Bulls have won four of them, with results having included:
- Apr 2025: Bulls 119-89 Wizards
- Jan 2025: Bulls 138-105 Wizards
- Jan 2025: Wizards 125-107 Bulls
- Nov 2024: Wizards 108-127 Bulls
- Apr 2024: Wizards 127-129 Bulls
In the two January games, Zach LaVine scored 32 and 33 points, respectively, leading the game totals. They were just before he left for the Sacramento Kings. Across the last three, Nikola Vučević managed to score double-doubles in each of them.
Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards: Betting Predictions
Our top Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards betting prediction is that the Bulls will continue their dominance over the Wizards.
Chicago have simply been better than Washington this season and have typically enjoyed themselves when playing against this opponent. They have back-to-back victories against them at the United Center, and we expect this trend to continue.
When looking for betting value, we think it’s worth keeping an eye on Vučević. We predict he’ll have another double-double in this upcoming clash, as we predict he’ll have 15+ points and 10+ rebounds. He achieved this point total in two of his last three games against the Wizards.
This season, he has averaged around 15 points per game, so we don’t think this is out of the question against a team he seems to enjoy himself against. He has also averaged around 10 rebounds per game.
Alex Sarr is another to keep an eye on in the player props. His performances have been a positive for the Wizards this year, and he performed admirably against the Bulls last season. He managed two games with a double-double, and we predict he’ll do it again this time around.
