NBA Look Ahead; Wed Jan 7, 2022; 7:00pm CT

The NBA will be heading to the All-Star break very soon, but we have some important games coming up. With so many teams trying to find their positioning in their respective conferences, this should be a fun week.

The games we have lined up all have high stakes and will be important this season. Let’s get you familiar with the games we’ll be covering for this week.

The matchup we look at is between the Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls. This all goes down on Friday, January 7, 2022; at 7:00pm Central Time. 

Washington Wizards Travel to Chicago to Face the Bulls

The Washington Wizards are currently the No.8 team in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately for them, they’re facing the No.1 team in the Eastern Conference.

Washington is actually coming off of a close loss to the Chicago Bulls last week. However, they were still able to cover the 2-point spread. So you have to wonder whether they might be the better bet on Friday. 

The Chicago Bulls have been incredible against the spread this season. Today, they are 21-13 against the spread but struggled to cover against Washington last week. We will see at the end of the game if Washington can compete with the #1 Chicago Bulls.

They’re 11-5 against the spread at home, and the Wizards are dealing with a lot of injuries. We feel that the Bulls will have a much easier time covering the spread in this one; take Chicago here.
