76ers at Bulls picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 114, 76ers 111

Moneyline

BET BULLS (-142).

The 76ers got 42 points in just over 41 minutes from G Tyrese Maxey on Friday, but with this being their 3rd game in 4 days, the absence of Embiid may start to show.

Chicago held Maxey to 9-for-23 shooting in their 1st matchup. The Bulls should be able to limit his effectiveness again. They have won 3 of their last 5 home games and have recent wins over teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, 76ers and Miami Heat.

At home, for this value, take the BULLS (-142).

Against the spread

PASS.

Take some stress away from the game if it is close down the stretch and play the ML here.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 224.5 (-110).

The 76ers are 10-5 O/U on the road and 20-10-1 O/U on the season. They have gone Over in 4 of their last 5 games and have scored at least 112 points in 5 straight.

The Bulls are 17-15-1 O/U and have tallied 114 or more in 3 of their last 5. Chicago has scoring in G Coby White and DeRozan despite the absence of LaVine. The Bulls are 9-5 O/U at home as well.

Take OVER 224.5 (-110).
