The Philadelphia 76ers are tipped to cover the spread as double-digit favourites against the Chicago Bulls. Philadelphia have started the season strongly with a 6-1 record and are on a three-game win streak, while Chicago have lost four consecutive games and continue to struggle defensively, conceding high point totals. Although the Bulls have managed to cover the spread in their last couple of games, their ongoing defensive issues make it difficult to back them confidently. The 76ers' form and Chicago's struggles support the selection of Philadelphia to win and cover.

Chicago Bulls On Four-Game Losing Run

Chicago head to the ‘city of brotherly love’ on a miserable run of form, having lost their last four games to fall to 1-5.

The Bulls began the season on the road in Toronto, where they suffered a 135-92 blowout defeat to the Raptors.

They rebounded with a 132-125 come-from-behind victory in Milwaukee, but they have not won since then.

Chicago dropped their home opener against Washington, as they fell to a 124-120 defeat at the hands of the Wizards.

The Bulls then sandwiched a 133-127 defeat to New York with a couple of losses in Boston, losing 134-99 and 125-111 to the Celtics.

Philadelphia 76ers Boast 6-1 Record

Philadelphia go into this matchup on a three-game win streak that has taken their record to 6-1.

The 76ers opened the campaign at defending champions New York, and spoiled ‘banner night’ for the Knicks as they won 106-100.

They backed that up at home as they beat Cleveland 114-106 and Milwaukee 127-116, only to then lose 106-93 when they hosted Detroit.

Philadelphia rebounded quickly though, travelling to Indiana to take down the Pacers 114-109.

The 76ers then followed that up with another victory over the Knicks, this time winning 98-93 at home, before head to Charlotte to beat the Hornets 109-104.

Verdict

The Bulls have managed to cover in the last couple of games, but it is tough to have any confidence in a team that continues to give up a ton of points.
 
Therefore we are sticking with the hot hand, backing Philadelphia to win this game and cover the spread.
