Chicago Bulls vs Washington Wizards
PREVIEW: The Washington Wizards (1-14) arrive at the United Center to face the Chicago Bulls (8-7) on November 22, 2025 , with the Wizards attempting to snap a seven-game road losing skid. Chicago excels defensively with few three-point attempts allowed (ranked 3rd) and maintains a quick tempo (ranked 3rd), while also showcasing high spacing on offense and solid passing ability. Washington, by contrast, operates with low spacing on offense (ranked 30th), forces few turnovers defensively (ranked 29th), and struggles with an inefficient free throw rate. The Bulls are favored by 12.5 points , reflecting the stark contrast between two teams moving in opposite directions.
The Wizards have been absolutely ice-cold, losing 14 of their first 15 games and most recently getting thrashed by Toronto 140-110, while the Bulls were gaining momentum before getting scorched by Miami 143-107. Chicago's offense is led by Coby White averaging 26 points per game and Josh Giddey distributing at 9.7 assists per game , providing multiple scoring avenues against a vulnerable Washington defense. The Wizards rank last in the league for opponent points per game (129.7) and also sit at the bottom in point differential per game (-17.2) , making them especially vulnerable to the Bulls' balanced attack. Tipoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET from the United Center in Chicago , setting the stage for what should be a lopsided affair on paper.
