Washington Wizards vs. Chicago Bulls Live Stream: Watch Online Streaming NBA Game

The Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls are playing in a marquee matchup on the NBA game schedule on Wednesday and the ESPN game is on TV and WatchESPN starting up at 8 pm ET from the Staples Center as Derrick Rose, Pau Gasol, John Wall and Joakim Noah get into action for a matchup of top eastern conference teams.

The Wizards come into the game after an impressive win over the San Antonio Spurs and they are now second in the southeast division to the Atlanta Hawks. The Wiz will play against the Nets after the matchup with the Bulls and both these teams come in with 26 wins on the season. Wall led the Wizards with 25 points and eight assists in the matchup with the Spurs, while Marcin Gortat went for 11 rebounds to lead the way.

The Wizards have been as impressive as anyone lately and this season they could be a sleeper option in the playoffs. The Wizards are ranked 18th in the league in points per game and sixth in points allowed and they are also fourth in the league in assists per game. The Bulls come into the matchup after a tough loss to the Magic and they will next play against the Celtics on the schedule.

The Bulls saw Pau Gasol get 28 points and 14 rebounds, while Rose led the team with seven assists in the game against the Magic. The Bulls come in ranked 11th in the league in scoring and that is a marked improvement over last year when they ranked last. The team is 14th in defense and third in rebounds per game and they are looking like the best team in the conference now with the Hawks. Jimmy Butler is leading the team in scoring and he has been very impressive this year and could be in line to win most improved player after what he has done for the Bulls.

The Bulls were on a great streak while winning 13 of 15, but right now they have lost three of the past four and are looking to get back on track. Gasol and Butler have both been fantastic and with the way the Cavaliers are playing, the Bulls are clearly the favorites in the division. Rose has been dealing with injuries, but nothing serious like the past two seasons.

The Bulls defense has not been as stout and Noah coming back from an injury should help that. The team already lost to the Wizards recently with a game this past week and that game saw Wall go for 16 points and 12 assists. That was the first win for Wall head to head with Rose and now the two teams face off again.
