The Bulls are coming into this game with a 6-1 record overall and they are 3-0 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. The Bulls have just 1 loss on the season and have won 2 straight games since their first loss of the season coming into this game on that 2 game winning streak. They beat the Boston Celtics 128-114 in their last game in a game that was close in the first half but they started to trail by halftime. They came out in the second half and let the lead get away from them even more in the third quarter before pulling off a massive comeback in the fourth quarter outscoring the Celtics by almost 30 points and going on to win that game. DeMar DeRozan went off in that game as he led his team in points with 37 while Zach LaVine also had a great game with 26 points himself. Those 2 players pretty much carried the offense to victory in that game. Nikola Vucevic led the team in assists in that game with 9 and also led the team in rebounds with 10. Their offense is averaging 109.7 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 101 PPG against them. They opened their last game as a 2.5 point underdog with that line closing around 3 points while the point total opened at 216.5 and closed around 215.5 points. The Bulls not only covered the spread in that game but they won it straight up on the moneyline cashing the +125 for them while the game went over the total with 242 total points. 

 

 

The 76ers are coming into this game with a 5-2 record overall and they are 3-1 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have won 4 of their last 5 games and are coming into this game on a 3 game winning streak. They won their last game against the Portland Trail Blazers 113-103 in a game that they led for most of the time but really started to pull away in the fourth quarter of that game. Seth Curry led the team in points in that game with 23 while Georges Niang was next on the team off the bench with 21 points. There was a solid scoring effort from all the players starting that game and they got some help from their bench players as well getting the job done with both Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris out of the lineup in that game. Andre Drummond and Tyrese Maxey both led the team in assists in that game with 7 each while Drummond led the team in rebounds with 15. Their offense is averaging 112.1 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 103.6 PPG against them. The 76ers opened their last game as a 6 point favorite with that line closing around 2 points but with them as the underdog while the point total opened at 225.5 and closed around 220.5 points. The 76ers covered the spread in that game as the opening line favorite and at the underdog price winning the game straight up on the moneyline by 10 points cashing the +110 by close while the game stayed under the total with 216 total points.

 

 

The Bulls are coming into this game as a 1.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to the bookmakers. The 76ers have been playing well in their games this season and even better when playing at home. They will be missing Embiid and Harris for this game and they won their last game without them but the Bulls are a very good team and will be able to take advantage of them while they are short handed here. The best bet to place in this game is on the Bulls to cover the spread and win the game straight up on the moneyline.
