As the Bulls prepare to face the Wizards, all eyes will be on Collin Sexton, but the smart money is on the Under for his three-pointers made. While Sexton has been a solid contributor lately, averaging 3.4 threes on the road, his historical performance against the Wizards tells a different story. He's only managed 1.8 threes against them in their last five meetings, dropping to just 1 per game when playing in Washington. Considering the stakes of this matchup and the Wizards' defensive schemes, Sexton's chances to get open looks might be limited. Plus, with a hit rate of just 68% for hitting the Under in his last 19 away games, it seems that the odds favor a quieter night from beyond the arc. So, with the current line set at 2.5, taking the Under feels like a savvy play in this contest.
Tre Jones (Chicago Bulls) Under 1.5 Threes Made (-263)

As Tre Jones prepares to face the Washington Wizards on the road, the numbers suggest a compelling case for betting the under on his three-pointers made at 1.5. Despite a solid overall hit rate recently, averaging just one three-pointer per game in his last five outings, his away performance drops significantly to 0.8. Even more striking is his history against the Wizards; in their last five meetings, he's averaged a mere 0.2 threes, and when playing in Washington, he hasn't managed to hit a single one. With the Bulls' offensive strategy likely focusing on other key players, Jones may find opportunities limited. Given these trends and the implied probability of 72.5% for him to fall below this mark, betting the under feels like a smart play. It's all about reading the game, and right now, the script seems to favor a quiet night for Jones from beyond the arc.
Collin Sexton (Chicago Bulls) Under 3.5 Rebounds (-128)

When it comes to Collin Sexton's rebounding numbers, the recent trends paint a clear picture-especially for this away matchup against the Wizards. While he's shown a slight uptick with an average of 3.6 rebounds over his last five games, his away performances tell a different story, with a dip to just 2 boards per game. Compounding that, Sexton has historically struggled against the Wizards, averaging only 2 rebounds when playing on their turf. With the Bulls focusing on offensive efficiency, Sexton may find himself further away from the glass, limiting his rebounding opportunities. Given this context, the under on 3.5 rebounds feels like the smart play, especially considering his 6-of-7 success in hitting this under recently. As he steps into this game, expect a continuation of this trend, making the under a compelling choice for your betting slip.
