Betting Preview

It's a meeting that will follow the other as a dead rubber, as neither team has anything to play for this season but pride. The NBA playoffs betting were a slim hope for the Bulls for a little while, but Chicago's inconsistency hurt them when it mattered most.

The Wizards were never in contention, as they struggled from the beginning of the regular season to put wins on the board. That has been the story of the year for them, as they sit rock bottom of the Eastern Conference.

Washington have won just 17 games, having 11 victories at home (11-28), while they are 11-38 when playing against other teams in the East. They are on a run of seven defeats, and are 1-9 over their last 10.

Chicago have won 30 games this season (30-49), but they've been just as bad as Washington over their last 10 games. The win on Wednesday boosted them to 2-8 over their last 10. They are 12-27 on the road, and 18-31 in Conference Play, which is a big reason why they won't be going to the playoffs.

 

Betting Markets to Watch

Over the last 10 games between these two teams, the Bulls are 8-2 over the Wizards. Indeed, recent history suggests that a win for Chicago is very likely. Indeed, they're likely to be favourites once again in this one, as they both meet in Washington once again.

We think there'll be value in the Bulls' handicap. After Wednesday's win, the margin is likely to be high. Still, they've had a victory by 20+ points in six of the eight games they've won over the last 10, including the 129-98 win.

In that game, Rob Dillingham had the best of his career, as he had 26 points. His three-point conversion rate was impressive, as he made 5 of his 8 attempts. For this reason, we think there's value in him having 3+ Made Threes in the game on Saturday. He sits at just over 1/3 in terms of success rate for the season and often attempts 6+ in games. He'll be full of confidence and will want to impress again.

 

Our Prediction

We think the most likely outcome is for the Bulls to win, as they have an incredibly strong record against Washington; on top of that, the Wizards have struggled all season and don't enjoy themselves when Chicago are on the schedule.

Our long shot is for the Bulls to win by 11+ points in the Big Win Little Win market.
