The last time we saw Philadelphia, the world seemingly wanted a piece of the Sixers as short road favorites against Cleveland. Why? Because the Cavaliers had previously blown a 29-point lead against this very outfit and and nobody wanted to trust Cleveland to get the job done in the rematch. Well, the Cavaliers turned around and clobbered Philadelphia on Friday night. This is where I move in because no matter what, the Sixers are going to be offered at a better price because of Friday's result and even then, it is still a considerable number. But if Cleveland had won like it was supposed to and handled business, this number would be alot higher. That's where my interest is derived from.
We are getting a star-studded outfit with championship aspirations against a Chicago team that can't find its feet. The Bulls' only win this year was against a listless divisional foe in Milwaukee who by the way, is 1-8. Chicago's defense bleeds points, they have given up 125 points or more in 5 straight games. Philly will make it #6. And should that happen, the Sixers will run the Bulls out of the United Center. That's how I am playing it here. I'll take Philadelphia to respond emphatically.
76ers vs Bulls prediction: Philadelphia -8.5 (-104) available at time of publishing. Playable to the number.
