Preview

The 76ers will try to avoid a 3 streak loss when they travel on Sunday to Chicago to face the Bulls. The Sixers already beat the Bull two times this season, 103-98 at home as -2.5 favorites and 114-105 on the road as +4 pts underdogs.

PHILADELPHIA 76ERS

The Sixers lost their 2nd streak game against the Mavericks in what should have been an easy win for them. With Philadelphia leading 89-88 midway through the fourth quarter, Dallas went on an 8-2 run that included Bullock hitting consecutive 3-pointers for a 96-91 lead that it never relinquished. 

Joel Embiid had 27 points and 13 rebounds for the 76ers, who have lost two straight games for the first time since a three-game skid in mid-December. Dallas native Tyrese Maxey added 18 points.

The team average 107.8 points per game, 21th in the NBA, and they give up 105.5 points per game (8th).

CHICAGO BULLS

The Bulls return home after beating Indiana where Nikola Vucevic (31 Pts) and DeMar DeRozan (36) led the team as the Bulls prevailed 122-115 for their fifth win in their last seven games.

Chicago have won 19 of their first 25 home games and hold a half-game lead over Brooklyn for first place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, Derrick Jones and Patrick Williams remain sidelined for the next few weeks and Zach Lavine is questionable with back spasms.

BETTING TRENDS

Philadelphia are 9-0 SU in their last 9 games against Chicago and 5-0 ATS last 5 against them.

Philadelphia are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss.

Chicago is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games.

Bulls are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win.

Prediction

The Sixers have all of their starters good to go and it's hard to believe they'll lose 3 straight games in a row, they beat the Bulls twice this season and Lavine and Lonzo Ball played in those games. The Bulls have struggled against the 76ers as they're 0-9 last 9 games against them. Take the Sixers.
