Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards : Under 268.5 Total Points (-2000)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
The under 268.5 bet for the Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards game is a good choice based on both teams' recent scoring data. The Bulls have averaged 108.6 points in their last five games, and the Wizards averaged 115.2 points. Even if both teams meet these averages, the combined score would be well under 268.5. The model prediction also supports this bet, projecting a total score of 228.05. Furthermore, when looking at the teams' defensive statistics, both allow fewer points than the betting line requires. The Bulls have been allowing an average of 109.6 points at home, while the Wizards have given up 121 points on the road. Given these figures, the likelihood of the total points surpassing 268.5 seems low, making the under a statistically sound bet.
Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards : Washington Wizards Under 126.5 Team Total Points (-588)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
This bet leverages the recent performance trends of the Washington Wizards. Their overall record for the last five games is 1-4, indicating a poor run of form. Crucially, their away record is even worse, with no wins in the last five games. This suggests they struggle to perform on the road. Additionally, the Wizards' average score over the last five games, both overall and away, is well below the target of 126.5 points, at 115.2 and 107 points respectively. This aligns with our model prediction of 105.91 points for this game. The Wizards also tend to allow high scores from opponents, with an average of 122.8 overall and 121 away, which could further limit their own scoring opportunities. Therefore, betting on the Wizards to score under 126.5 points is statistically justified.
Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards : Chicago Bulls win (-714)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing
Betting on the Chicago Bulls to win against the Washington Wizards is statistically justified. The Bulls have a stronger recent home record (3-2) compared to the Wizards' weak recent away record (1-4). The Wizards have not won any of their last five games on the road, further indicating an advantage for the home team. Interestingly, while the Wizards have a higher overall team score in the last five games, their scoring drops significantly when playing away, averaging 107 points - almost identical to the Bulls' home game average. This implies that the Bulls' defensive strategies might be particularly effective against the Wizards. Lastly, the two teams have broken even in their last four encounters, but given the Bulls' home advantage and the Wizards' poor away performance, the odds favor a Chicago victory.
