The Washington Wizards face off against the Chicago Bulls on April 11, 2023. With several players sidelined due to injuries, both teams will be fielding less than full rosters. The Wizards appear to be strategically aiming for the worst record in the league to enhance their chances of securing a top NBA draft pick. Conversely, the Bulls are in need of a victory to enhance their playoff prospects, positioned just half a game out of the 8th playoff seed. Expect the Bulls to capitalize on this opportunity while the Wizards may focus on experimenting with their younger players.
With just two games left, the organization won't admit it, but there is likely a focus on the Wizards team making sure it gets to the worst record in the league.
Expect this game to be littered with young bench players getting plenty of opportunity to make an impression to stay on the roster for the future.
As for the Bulls, they are only .5 game out from the 8th seed going into Thursday, which makes this game critical for playoff positioning.
Plenty for Chicago to gain, so expect them to try to put the Wizards away early.
