Chicago vs Washington Bets feel like a step down off the high wire act we were on during March Madness weekend. Yes, the Madness does not take a break with more Ladies Round of 32 action on Monday. However, Do with the NBA Playoffs nearing, the Chicago Bulls try to stay in position for a play-in chance. We look at a matchup which happened two weeks ago. BetUS Sportsbook Review serves up a risky home play or three.
Chicago vs Washington Bets feels like Deja Vu on Monday night. Now, the Bulls were close to .500 but then lost two straight including a game against Boston where Chicago let the game get away in the fourth quarter. Honestly, the Bulls are nowhere close to an NBA Championship. On the other hand, a play-in game against Philadelphia would not be a bad thing.
Bluntly, Chicago is now five games out of the seventh seed or eighth with 11 games to go. At this point, it is about playing better for the Bulls. So many facets of their game need to improve. Boston showed that in many ways. From the offensive rebounding edge of 12-3 to more foul shots, 21 three-pointers hit, there was a lot Chicago could work on. Fortunately, they get a tuneup in the form of the Washington Wizards. Or do they?
Alright, Washington won two straight contests but they just squeezed by Toronto who has now dropped ten consecutive games. It has been an ugly year for Washington with only 13 wins. Monday night might get uglier though. They lost by 27 two weeks ago against Chicago at United Center. Realistically, that game should have been an even worse blowout.
Anyway, go hunting for spreads and numbers here. Yes, that number at 13 is nice but 13.5 might be nicer here as EVEN is always better than -110. Chicago could win this game by 20+ again. No one would be surprised given that Washington on the road is 7-30 and 9-35 in the East. They allow a league worst 123.7 points per game too.
Chicago vs Washington bets shoot for some props on Monday. NBA Online Prop Bets attempt to keep this as simple as humanly possible. Washington is bad. Chicago is .500 at home. This is not exactly Boston playing Denver or Milwaukee here. While Washington was long eliminated from playoff or play-in contention, Chicago again has a chance and a fighting chance.
Naturally, this requires a delicate hand. Alright, how far does one dive into the Over on Monday night? The Game Over here lies at 225.5. One has to believe Chicago can score a bunch of points but will it be enough? See that 127-98 game two weeks ago one more time. No wonder why the total was set where it was. It appears Vegas and other books have the number pegged pretty well.
Yes, there lie further concerns with Washington. Jordan Poole is questionable and again when does the bottom fall out? That sets up several player props. Taking two shots with Nikola Vucevic at 20+ points (+135) and 25+ points (+380) are considerations. No one on Washington could really contain the Center. Chicago would be wise to keep feeding him the ball early and often.
So, that +135 number for the Team Over at 122.5 in the Chicago vs Washington Bets is a nice bet to taker on. Yes, we have more props below. Again, the number is EVEN at 120.5. As we climb higher up the ladder, the risk of failure goes up. Even at 124,5, that +175 looks awfully appetizing..
Chicago vs Washington bets attempt to feast on more props. Now, keep an eye on everything from turnover to steal props. There is always a few extra twists err unexpected wagers to make. There is an interesting bet circulating and Alex Caruso is +160 to turn the ball over twice on Monday. That seems far-fetched but he does average 1.4 turnovers a game. It’s not unreasonable.
Caruso has two or more turnovers in three of his last five games and that includes three against Washington. That alternate is at +350. Okay, so that one may be a bridge too far to cross. On the bright side, there is always Jordan Poole and his turnover props. Just check to make sure he plays first. Again, he is questionable which means they determine his status right before game time.
So, there has to be a few from the Under department right? Yes, Coby White has two or fewer three-pointers in each of his last four games. He comes in at EVEN to make two or fewer shots from beyond the arc on Monday night. Also, consider the under for threes from Nikola Vucevic at +175. However, again these are nothing more than wagers of a few dollars err pizza money.
NBA Online betting odds get on this Monday slate. Chicago and Washington is far from the only game in town. There are ten other games including two late contests with some flair. The Pacers versus Clippers could be good fun along with Philadlephia and Sacramento. Good luck and get betting!
