The Chicago Bulls host the Washington Wizards tonight in what is expected to be Michael Jordan's final game at the United Center.
Washington are 21-21 SU and just 17-25 ATS this season. The Wizards are coming off a 103-94 loss at New Orleans in a game in which Jerry Stackhouse returned to the line-up having missed four games with a groin injury. Washington have lost four of seven following a give-game winning streak.
Chicago are only 15-27 SU but are a more respectable 21-20-1 ATS having covered seven of their last nine overall.
In fact they covered their last four games of a marathon five-game road trip and will be excited to be back at the United Center where they have played just one of their last eight games.
The Bulls have won four of their last five at home posting comfortable wins over the Knicks, Jazz, Cavaliers and Blazers. Their only recent home loss was against these Wizards who thrashed them 107-82 three weeks ago so you would expect them to have revenge in mind tonight.
This season they are 13-7 at home while the Wizards road record is 7-12.
When these teams played at the United Center earlier this month Jordan received an amazing ovation from Chicago fans who showed their appreciation for the man that brought them six NBA titles. But in his four games against the Bulls he is shooting just 36% while averaging 17 points.
Tonight we expect the Bulls to maintain their solid home record and get the cover.
Recommended Play: Chicago +2.5
