Player Watch
Chicago: Watch their leading scorer (likely the 85 PPG driver) and key perimeter threats, who will look to capitalize on Washington’s weaker wing defense.
Washington: Keeping an eye on their top rebounders is crucial—they’ll need to crash the boards and limit Chicago’s second-shot opportunities.
