76ers vs Bulls Prediction
The current betting odds have the Bulls listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bulls have looked great in their games this season with their 5-1 record overall which has them right near the top of the East with one of the best records in the NBA. They have been red hot to start the season and they have looked great on their home court with their 4-0 home record this year. Meanwhile, the 76ers have looked great in their games this season with their 5-1 record overall which has them right at the top of the East with one of the best records in the NBA. They have also been a great road team so far with their 3-0 road record this season. They are coming off a big win over the Nets in their last one and that was a bounce back win for them after losing to the Celtics the game before, but the 76ers have also played in a lot of tight games this season. They are off a blow out win over the Nets, but the Nets are one of the worst teams in the NBA and a majority of their wins so far have been by 5 points or less. The Bulls have been rolling in their games though, a majority of their wins coming by double digits. They are off a double digit loss to the Knicks in their last one, but that was their first loss of the season and they will be looking to bounce back at home. The Bulls will bring their best effort to bounce back at home against a 76ers team that has had some tight games this year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Bulls to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
"Well, it was really good for him tonight. I think the biggest thing was those guys—they executed the game plan offensively of what we're trying to do, right? And that's really important. It was to create space and move the basketball game, and then attack some of that space, and then you got to make the players in front of you. It's either a shot or it's a dump off or a kick out. They were doing it." - Nick Nurse after his team’s win against the Nets in their game on Sunday.
‘‘I think the front office was very transparent going all the way back to the draft. Noa was one of the guys we went through [in the draft process]. You don’t know how the draft is going to play out or who is going to be there, but one of the things that we talked about prior to [his selection] was that he was going to be a development piece. He was not going to be a guy that was going to be immediately in the rotation. There needed to be a plan for him.’’ - Billy Donovan on rookie draft pick Noa Essengue.
