The Chicago Bulls (29-49) and Washington Wizards (17-61) are both looking to snap lengthy losing streaks.
The 2025-26 Chicago Bulls' season is officially on its last legs.
Billy Donovan, who is not leaving Chicago to coach the University of North Carolina, looks to lead the Bulls to a pair of late-season road wins when they face the Washington Wizards.
Chicago has dropped seven consecutive games, while the Wizards are losers of six straight. At 17-61, Washington currently holds the worst record in the NBA.
Much of the discussion for the Bulls lately has been off the floor, from Jaden Ivey's release last week to the firing of executive vice president of basketball operations Arturas Karnisovas and general manager Marc Eversley on Monday.
Still, four games remain for Chicago: two in Washington D.C. on Tuesday and Thursday, the Bulls' home finale against the Magic on Friday and the team's season finale in Dallas on Sunday. Here's everything you need to know from the Bulls' first matchup with the Wizards:
