Betting on the Chicago Bulls
- Season record: 17-21.
The Bulls have had a very inconsistent campaign, something that has prevented them from fighting higher in the Eastern Conference, and that has them in tenth place in the standings. However, they have demonstrated some really interesting stuff, as they did in their previous game, where they defeated an inspired Brooklyn Nets..
The team from the Windy City came into the game against the Nets in the midst of a streak of two consecutive losses however, they were able to impose conditions from the beginning, with their offense being more than effective, with DeMar DeRozan, Patrick Williams and Nikola Vucevic surpassing the 20-point barrier. Meanwhile, their defense keeping their opponent limited for a 112-121 win.
The Bulls’ offense has been somewhat decent, averaging 114.5 points scored per game on 48.7 % shooting from the field, but that hasn’t been helped by a defense that is among the worst in the league, with an average of 115.5 points allowed per game.These numbers worsen to 118.3 points allowed away from home.
Betting on the Philadelphia 76ers
- Season record: 23-14.
Things have been very different for the 76ers, who after the recovery of James Harden have shown a really outstanding level, getting into the fight for the top of the East by placing fifth in the standings, but with only 2.5 games away from the first place.
The 76ers will head into this game with eight wins in their last ten games, including the last three; their most recent win happened over the Indiana Pacers last Wednesday. The team lost a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter in this intense game, with everything having to be decided in overtime, where they eventually prevailed 126-129.

JefeBet Prediction
The Bulls are a team that appears to be capable of more than they actually are, but their inconsistency is disappointing, especially when it comes to their defense when they are away from home. As a result, they will undoubtedly suffer a lot against a 76ers team that is very dangerous when Embiid and Harden are on the court.
Moreover, they’ll be facing a home defense that is the second best in the entire league and that is usually most effective when at home, proving to have the level to stop even the best offenses in the league.
In this way, although we expect an entertaining game, we are confident that the 76ers will be able to continue their good streak here, taking advantage of the Bulls’ defensive shortcomings to dominate and end up taking a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers Spread.
