Game summary

Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards comes in the NBA regular season on Saturday 24 October 2026, and our model calls for a Bulls win while seeing the total points above the league average.

Why this pick?

Our model leans to a Chicago Bulls win, and the clearest reason is that Washington Wizards arrive short-handed, with Jamir Watkins and Tristan Vukčević listed as Out, while Chicago also has home court. The strongest point against it is that Washington Wizards grade out better on our ratings, which take team results and the players expected to play into account. The pick still holds because two regular players missing lowers what Washington can do, and the Bulls have won the last five meetings between the two. Both teams are on the second night of a back-to-back, and the call is narrow.

Total points: The total points sit above the league average because Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards play fast — the Bulls at the quickest pace in the NBA, the Wizards sixth — with slightly more points per possession too, though the injury absences trim the expected scoring a little.
