The Bulls approach the match with Philadelphia in the status of a favorite. It's not surprising, because Chicago is above the 76ers in the standings - in ninth place in the East with a 10-14 balance. True, the team still has a lot of game problems. For example, playing defense. Chicago, conceding an average of 123.6 points per game, currently share the last place in this indicator with Washington.
The last game of the Bulls turned out to be a telling one. At home, Chicago lost to Indiana in a very efficient match, showing great offensive skills, but once again failing in their half of the court - 123:132. The Bulls made 33 assists, but also allowed the same number of turnovers. In addition, they allowed the opponent to realize 60% of their three-point attempts - 18 out of 30.
Philadelphia 76ers
The team is still in the basement of the Eastern Conference standings - only in 13th place with a 6-15 win-loss record. However, lately there has been a positive trend in the game Phila. The team has won three of its previous four games and is now 2.5 wins behind the top-10 in the East. In case of success in Chicago, Philadelphia will keep this handicap to 1.5 wins.
The 76ers played their last two games at home against Orlando and managed to take one of the best teams in the NBA at the moment from one of the two games - 102:106 and 102:94. Note that before that Philadelphia beat Detroit (111:96) and Charlotte (110:104) in a row on the road.
Expert Betting Tips
Chicago goes above Philadelphia in the standings, but the balance of victories is negative, and they are also the worst NBA team at the moment in terms of defense. The team, on the other hand, is gradually coming together as a full squad - the leaders are recovering from injuries, and are coming into their own. The win over Orlando in the previous game is a great achievement for Nick Nurse's team, considering the poor start to the season. We believe that Phila is capable of winning at United Center as well, especially since the 76ers have won seven of their last eight trips to the Bulls. We bet on the visitors and high scoring performance - when else but in the meeting against today's Chicago will Philadelphia correct its poor offensive performance?
