76ers vs Bulls Pick
Spread Pick for 76ers vs Bulls
- Chicago -3.5 (4 Units)
The Bulls continue to operate at a very efficient level. They have climbed into the top five in effective field goal percentage, and they are putting up nearly half of their points in the painted area this season. Philadelphia has struggled to keep opponents off the offensive glass, and they have struggled to defend the paint. With Chicago defending the 3-ball well and dominating the paint, look for them to win by a wide margin here.
Chicago -3.5
Total for 76ers vs Bulls
- Under 233.5 (4 Units)
This game is a clash in styles as the 76ers sit in the top 10 in pace of play and the Bulls sit in the bottom 10. That said, Chicago should control the tempo here, being at home and taking great care of the ball. Expect both teams to put the ball on the ground and for possessions to get drawn out. Both defenses have done well to keep opponents off the offensive glass, and neither offense has gotten to the line often. Look for the defense of each squad to set the tone here and keep this total under the number.
