Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards Prediction & Picks, October 24, 2026

The Chicago Bulls struggle with giving up rebounds and three-point shots, which could help Washington's Jalen Smith find his rhythm. However, the Wizards also have issues, allowing a lot of boards and not forcing many turnovers. This matchup could lead to Smith having fewer chances to rack up points and rebounds. Taking the bet on Jalen Smith scoring under 20.5 combined points and rebounds seems wise. The Bulls allow a fair amount of rebounds, but Smith might not get enough opportunities to hit that mark, especially since both teams have similar defensive strengths. The biggest risk is that Smith could still have a standout game, but the odds suggest a good chance for this pick.

Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards: Josh Giddey Under 21.5 Pts + Asts (+115)

The Chicago Bulls have been known to give up a lot of rebounds, averaging over 44 a game, which could limit the chances for Josh Giddey to rack up points and assists. Plus, the Bulls let opponents shoot a ton of three-pointers, but Giddey's game isn't really about the long-range shot. With both teams likely to play tough defense, this might not be a high-scoring game. Giddey's recent form shows he can struggle to hit the mark when it comes to combined points and assists, especially in a matchup like this. There's a solid chance he ends up below 21.5 in this game. The biggest risk is that Giddey might find a way to step up unexpectedly.

Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards: Jalen Smith Under 10.5 Points (+200)

The Chicago Bulls struggle to defend against three-pointers, allowing a lot of attempts from deep. This could mean a tough night for Jalen Smith, especially since the Bulls also give up many rebounds. If he doesn't get many chances to score, it's hard to see him hitting over 10.5 points. On the flip side, the Wizards also give up a fair number of rebounds, which may limit Smith's scoring opportunities. The matchup is very close, so while he could surprise us, betting on him to score under 10.5 points feels safer given how the Bulls defend.
