The Chicago Bulls sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, three games back of first place Toronto, and a game and a half back of Washington. They play the Wizards in the nation's capital tonight, and I like their chances of closing the gap with a fourth straight win.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Derrick Rose - He's back and looking much like he did when he won the MVP Award in 2011. Rose had 29 points in the win over Toronto last night, and he's expected to be back in the lineup tonight.

2. Revenge - The Bulls were embarrassed by Washington in last season's playoffs, and they will have an opportunity execute a little revenge here tonight, with all their big guns firing at full capacity.

3. X-Factor - The Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Selection: This is a play on the Chicago Bulls (8*)
