Bulls vs 76ers Prediction
You can make a case for either side with the way both teams are 5-1 SU and ATS on the season. Usually I’d give the edge to the home team, but the 76ers have higher upside, and they’re starting to get healthier with the return of Embiid. As well as the Bulls have played, I still question what’s real and what isn’t. Also, at some point I believe missing White, Collins and possibly Dosunmu will catch up to them. I simply have more trust in the 76ers than I do the Bulls. So, give me the road team in this toss up.
