The Philadelphia 76ers in the underdog role is usually an attractive option, but they’re still dealing with some injuries and the Ben Simmons nonsense is getting more and more bizarre. The Chicago Bulls have been one of the more consistent teams in the league, and they just took the 76ers down to the wire on the road. At home, you would think the Bulls should be able to close out the game. We’re not being asked to lay much. Give me the Bulls.
