How to watch Wizards at Bulls originally appeared on NBC Sports Washington
Following the All-Star break, the Wizards look to build momentum heading into the final stretch of the regular season. In their first game back, the Wizards came up short to the New York Knicks 115-109.

The Bulls have hugely underperformed this season but are coming off a blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets. Washington needs to take care of the Bulls, as the Wizards have an upcoming slate of several tough playoff teams in the East.

Sometimes exact trades discussed at the trade deadline come to fruition in the summer…” Read more
“That’s 27 games, a third of the regular season, in which the Wizards have played with a .630 win percentage, in other words a 52-win pace. During this stretch, the Wizards have had the sixth-best net rating (+4.1) in the NBA with the seventh-best offense and 11th-best defense.
