Chicago Bulls Notes
The Bulls ended February with a surprising 5-1 SU and ATS run, a total change of pace from the 3-17 SU and 6-13-1 ATS mark they had compiled over their previous 20 games.
That hot streak may be coming to an end as Chicago has dropped each of its last two games, but the recent surge at least suggests that the Bulls may have more fight in them than some of the other teams near the bottom of the standings.
Second only to the New York Knicks, the Bulls have one of the worst home records in the NBA this season at a paltry 7-25 SU and 12-20 ATS per the OddsShark NBA Database.
Philadelphia 76ers Notes
Wednesday night’s game against Chicago will mark the seventh straight game missed by Philadelphia’s superstar big man Joel Embiid. The team has been surviving without Embiid as they are 4-2 SU and 3-3 ATS without him, opening up a three-game lead over the Boston Celtics for the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Embiid is hoping to return as early as next week, but the team’s number one priority at this point will be to make sure that he is healthy come playoff time. The 76ers are 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS over their last six road games.
Sixers at Bulls Betting Total
The total for Wednesday night is set at 227.5 points at betting sites. The UNDER is 10-3 in Philadelphia’s last 13 games.
Both of these teams are coming into this game on the second night of a back-to-back, though Chicago’s is slightly worse as it is also the team’s third game in four nights. Even without Joel Embiid, this 76ers team should have enough firepower to take care of a tired Bulls team on the road.
