76ers vs Bulls Prediction 11/2/26 NBA Picks Today

76ers vs Bulls Prediction

The 76ers obviously have the talent to blow the Bulls out of the water, but they’ve also allowed teams to hang around this season and needed multiple comebacks. The 76ers have yet to put it all together. The Bulls are young and still have issues defensively, but they’re coming off covers against the Knicks and Celtics. Maybe the Bulls are slowly starting to become more competitive. Either way, this feels like too many points, as the 76ers have played a lot of games close to the vest, and there’s a chance Embiid doesn’t play tonight. I’ll grab the free buckets with the Bulls on the road.
