Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
The Chicago Bulls have been in terrible shape as they've lost eight of their last 10 games, and they will be hoping to arrest a six-game slide after falling short to the Suns in a 121-117 home defeat on Saturday. Josh Giddey led the team with 24 points, eight rebounds, and 10 assists, Coby White added 20 points with eight assists while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 16 points and 11 rebounds. As a team, the Bulls shot just 41 percent from the field and 18 of 53 from the 3-point line. The Bulls battled with the Suns in a close contest until the Suns opened the fourth quarter on an 11-3 run to put the Bulls away for good. Lonzo Ball had a night to forget as he shot just one of nine from the field to finish with just three points. The Bulls will take on the Clippers after this game.
Philadelphia 76ers Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers have been in a major slump as they've lost nine of their last 10 games overall, and they will be hoping to arrest a seven-game losing streak after falling short to the Nets in a 105-103 loss on Saturday. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 31 points and five assists, Quentin Grimes added 16 points with seven rebounds and five assists while Paul George chipped in with 14 points, seven rebounds, and three steals. As a team, the 76ers shot 42 percent from the field and 10 of 39 from the 3-point line. The 76ers got off to a terrible start and had to work so hard to erase an early 17-point deficit, only to see the Nets' Nic Claxton sink the game-winning tip shot at the buzzer to break the 76ers' hearts.

Chicago Bulls vs Philadelphia 76ers Prediction
The Bulls are still shorthanded with Ayo Dosunmu and Jalen Smith out again, while the 76ers have ruled out Kyle Lowry, and they are keeping an eye on Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, who are both questionable. This is definitely one of those games where you should check the lineups before tip-off given the injury cloud hanging over the 76ers. This is a tough one to pick, as you couldn't trust either side with any confidence. The 76ers rely so heavily on Maxey for scoring, so I like the Bulls to pull off the upset if Maxey doesn't suit up.
