Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls: Betting Odds
The Chicago Bulls faced an untimely defeat at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs, suffering their third defeat of the season. DeMar DeRozan completed 20,000 points in his NBA career and is enjoying yet another amazing season for the Bulls.
It was a close game that the Spurs held on to till the finals seconds of the game. 129-124 was the final score. DeRozan led the scoring charts yet again with 33 points.
The rest of the players looked ordinary and the absence of Zach LaVine seems to be hurting the team now. Even though they will be facing a struggling 76ers team, a win for the Bulls is not certain.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls: Match Details
Fixture: Philadelphia 76ers @ Chicago Bulls
Date & Time: Saturday, October 29, 08:00 p.m EDT
Venue: United Center, Chicago Illinois
The situation for the Philadelphia 76ers is troublesome. Despite having a great squad, the team is unable to live up to its full potential. However, the way they came back against the Toronto Raptors after losing the first game of the doubleheader, showed their intent.
In the absence of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey came out as the star performer with 44 points.
The 76ers will now travel to Chicago as a confident team with a point to prove.

Phialdelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls: Important Statistics
Chicago have lost all of their previous 10 games they played against Philadelphia, which is embarrassing and something to change quickly. They have been averaging 113.3 point per game, including 44.2 rebounds, and 24.0 assists.
On the other hand, the 76ers are averaging 108.5 ppg, including 38.2 rebounds, and 23.0 assists. Joel Embiid and Zach LaVine are two key players in doubt to start the game.
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls: Pick
In a close contest like this, anyone can step up and create magic on the court. The probable absence of Joel Embiid might allow James Harden to step up for his team. He is averaging 22.7 points, 8.7 assists, and 7.5 rebounds so far this season.
If the 76ers are willing to win the game, then James has to perform at this best.
Pick: Philadelphia -1 (-115)
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls: Prediction
The Bulls will be looking to take revenge on the 76ers after not being able to win a single game against them in their previous 10 meetings. With both teams with injury concerns looming around them, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top. The only advantage the Bulls have is that they are playing at home, otherwise things look even on all fronts.
Prediction: Total Over 220.5 (-110)
