Staff Prediction

The Bulls lost last time out but have won 3 of their last 4 games. Zach Lavine is averaging 28 points in his last 5 games, higher than his season average of 23 points per game. The Wizards have struggled to start the new year, losing 3 of their last 4 games. One of the few bright spot for the Wizards recently has been Kristaps Porzingis, averaging 22 points in his last 5 games. The Wizards have been struggling and they will have a hard time slowing down a hot Zach Lavine. Take Chicago to win this one.
