Bulls vs. Wizards Best NBA Prop Bets
Wizards Best NBA Prop Bet
- Bub Carrington OVER 12.5 Points (-108)
Bub Carrington is questionable for tonight, but it’d be surprising if he didn’t play. He put up 14 points on 5 of 12 shooting on Tuesday, and has OVER 12.5 points in three of his last four games.
Carrington is looking to finish the season strong as he’s averaged 14.0 points in 12 games since March 17.
Bulls vs. Wizards Prediction and Pick
I can only look to the Bulls in this one. They just got a blowout win on Tuesday, and nothing has really changed in the last two days heading into tonight’s rematch.
It’s a rare situation this season for the Bulls to be road favorites, and an even rarer situation to back them in this spot.
Pick: Bulls -6.5 (-105)
