76ers vs Bulls Prediction
The 76ers will have a chance to win given that the Bulls are going to rest all of their players with a play-in matchup already locked. However, the 76ers have been losing and failing to cover numbers all year, so this doesn’t change a thing. The 76ers have lost nine of their last 10 games and haven’t covered eight of those games. With a cover percentage of 34.5 percent, the 76ers are the worse cover team in the NBA by a decent percentage. Who the Bulls play doesn’t matter in this spot. Blindly fading the 76ers all year has made endless profit. Don’t stop now. Give me the Bulls.
