On Wednesday night, the Bulls take on the Wizards in a crucial Eastern Conference matchup. The last time out, the Bulls were defeated by the Celtics on the road. The Wizards, meanwhile, were defeated by the Pelicans in a home game on Monday.
Updates on Bradley Beal and Alex Caruso’ injury status
- The Washington Wizards
The three-game losing streak has been a problem for the Washington Wizards. They were on fire at the end of December, but ugly losses due to poor defense have derailed their momentum. Those three teams that they lost to were the Bucks, the Thunder, and the Pelicans.

Alex Caruso (ankle) may play in Wednesday’s game against the Wizards.
Caruso scored six points, dished out four assists, pulled down two boards, and blocked one shot in twenty minutes despite playing with a knee injury on Monday’s loss to the Celtics. DeMar DeRozan (quad) is questionable for Wednesday’s game, so he could get more playing time.
