76ers vs Bulls Pick, Betting Analysis
These two teams are a combined 13-5 to the under this season.
While Philadelphia's defensive strength of schedule ranks near the bottom (28th per DunksAndThrees.com), Chicago’s offense is even worse. The Bulls are loose and unstructured, and that doesn’t help you against the Sixers with their individual talent and athleticism.
The Bulls are the worst spot-up team in the league, and the Sixers have proven good enough at containing pick-and-roll actions, which is a Chicago strength.
I project this total to land in the 220s—which may even lean optimistic given Chicago’s No. 1 pace and Philly’s raw firepower. This season, games with totals of 235.5 or higher have favored the over, hitting 38-22 (63.3% via KillerSports.com).
Finally, while the Sixers should put a big number on the Bulls, they take their time offensively, averaging the seventh-longest time per offensive possession. There’s no reason for a team with these veterans to want to run up and down the floor with Chicago’s kiddos.
Pick: Under 238.5 (-110)
