No betting line has been posted for this game yet. Sportsbooks usually post NBA lines the night before or the morning of the game, after the first injury report. Books also take a line down for a while when a key player's status is unclear. We check ESPN and The Odds API several times a day and add the line as soon as there is one.

Our number.
Advantages Why 76ers can win
- Recent scoring margins: worth about 4.8 points to the 76ers in our ratings.
- Recent form: average margin over the last five games, 76ers +2.6, Bulls -10.4.
- Efficiency (points per 100 possessions): worth about 2.3 points to the 76ers in our ratings.
- Home court: the 76ers play at home, worth about 2 points in today's NBA.
- Team matchup: where the 76ers can take advantage. Their ball pressure (9th of 30) meets the Bulls ball security (17th), so look for them to turn steals into easy points in transition.
- Star matchup: Best player against best player, Tyrese Maxey (76ers: 27.9 pts, 4.1 reb, 6.3 ast, Game Score 21.4; filling in for Joel Embiid, out, right foot plantar fascia injury management) has the edge on Josh Giddey (Bulls: 16.2 pts, 8.0 reb, 9.0 ast, Game Score 15.4).
- Simulation: the 76ers win 6,980 of 10,000 simulated games.
Disadvantages Why 76ers may not
- Injury report: the 76ers list Joel Embiid (out). That is about 6 points of Game Score a night they have to replace.
- Defensive rebounding (share of misses): Bulls 5th (75.1%), 76ers 26th (72.3%).
- Range of outcomes: in the worst 10% of simulations the 76ers lose by 10 or more.
- History: the Bulls won 4 of the last 5 meetings (rosters change, so this says little).
- Team matchup: the Bulls have no clear unit-against-unit edge, so their path runs through a hot shooting night or a cold one from the favorite.
- Star matchup: the key positions lean the 76ers on paper, but Josh Giddey (16.2 pts, 8.0 reb, 9.0 ast, Game Score 15.4) is the kind of player who can swing one game.
- Upset odds: the Bulls win 3,020 of 10,000 simulations (30%). A 70% pick still loses about 3 times in 10.
