Chicago Bulls at Washington Wizards, 7 pm Eastern

The Pick: Chicago -2.5 (-106), bet $10.60 to win $10

I picked against Chicago yesterday and managed to squeak out a win. But watching the game, I was impressed with the Bulls’ heart, playing without some crucial players. So I like them taking care of business today. Chicago is 18-5 as a favorite this year, and 4-1 against the spread in their last five games. The Wizards are 1-8 against the spread when playing Chicago at home. Washington has come back to Earth after a hot start, while Chicago remains a playoff contender. I like them tonight.
