Bulls vs 76ers SU Prediction

The Bulls are 1-9 SU in their last 10 games played against the Sixers. Chicago is also 1-4 SU in their last 5 games played in Philadelphia.

Chicago Bulls SU trends:

• The Bulls are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games played.
• The Bulls are 13-21 SU in their last 34 games played on the road.
• The Bulls are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games played in March.
• The Bulls are 24-22 SU in their last 46 games played against the Eastern Conference.
• The Bulls are 10-13 SU in their last 23 road games played against the Eastern Conference.

Philadelphia 76ers SU trends:

• The 76ers are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games played.
• The 76ers are 26-10 SU in their last 36 games played at home.
• The 76ers are 29-15 SU in their last 44 games played against the Eastern Conference.
• The 76ers are 15-7 SU in their last 22 home games played against the Eastern Conference.
• The 76ers are 8-0 SU in their last 8 games played in March.
• The 76ers are 2-5 SU in their last 7 Monday games.

The Sixers look to continue their winning ways. Philadelphia has won 8 straight games heading to this contest. In their last game, the 76ers defeated the Indiana Pacers 141-121 last Saturday night.

Joel Embiid scored 31 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and issued 7 assists, with two blocks as he continues to make his case for MVP. Embiid has overtaken Nikola Jokic as the betting favorite to win this year’s NBA MVP award. The Sixers’ big man has scored at least 30 points in 9 consecutive games, a new franchise record.

Their latest win put the Sixers in second place in the Eastern Conference team standings, just percentage points ahead of the now 3rd place Celtics. Philadelphia is now 2.5 games behind the East leaders Milwaukee Bucks with still enough games left to play.

Philadelphia has an impressive 26-10 SU record at home. However, the last time these two teams played in Philly, the Bulls ended the 76ers’ 11-game winning streak with a 126-112 upset win. Could lightning strike twice for the Sixers on Monday?

In that January 6 meeting, Zach LaVine made 11 out of 13 three-pointers while scoring 41 points as the Sixers played without Embiid. Nikola Vucevic also had a big game with 19 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists as Embiid sat out the game with a sore foot.

The Bulls head to this game with a 33-37 SU record. Chicago has won four out of its last five games played and after Monday, these two teams will play again on Wednesday night in Chicago.

Last Saturday, DeMar DeRozan had 24 points and 10 assists in a 113-99 win over the Miami Heat. One game before that, DeRozan erupted for a season-high 49 points during a 2OT win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. LaVine scored 18 points with 7 assists while Coby White also had 18 points and Patrick Beverley added 17.

I’m pretty sure the Sixers still remember that last meeting, especially Joel Embiid. We all know that the outcome of that game would have been different had Embiid played. Not only is Embiid healthy right now, but he is also playing his best basketball of the season. The Sixers are on a roll and without Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso, this Chicago offense looks different. Give me the Sixers to continue their winning ways.

The Sixers have dominated this matchup, going 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 head-to-head meetings. Philadelphia has outscored Chicago by 7.9 points per game during that span. They have also covered the spread in 8 out of their last 9 games against the Bulls, and 7 out of their last 9 meetings at home.

Philadelphia’s winning streak is bound to end soon but I don’t see the Bulls as the team that ends it.
