Why The Bulls Could Cover The Spread

Even through their success this season the Bulls are underrated. Chicago has burst on to the scene this year and yet they are still an underdog coming into this match up. Their only loss of the season came to Knicks by one point. The Bulls are coming off a dominant victory over the Boston Celtics which should have silenced the haters. Chicago is for real this season, they have played excellent basketball and will look to continue their success on Wednesday.

The leader of this Bulls team is Zach LaVine. LaVine has been a member of the Bulls since 2017. Since joining Chicago he has established himself as a premiere talent in the NBA. LaVine is averaging 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists a game. Many people know about him because he is explosive and fun to watch, but he is also just a phenomenal basketball player. When LaVine gets going the Bulls become very tough to beat. Even with the addition of lots of new talent, LaVine has found a way to be a team player and a top scorer.

This last offseason saw the Bulls make some big moves and drastically improve their team. The additions of Lonzo Ball an DeMar DeRozan have clearly paid off. Lonzo has been a great facilitator for the team. He opens things up for the offense and makes things easier on his teammates. DeRozan has been on a tear lately. He is coming off a 37 point game against Boston, and is averaging over 25 for the first time since 2016. These new members of the team have had a drastic impact and will look to continue their success on Wednesday night.

Why The 76ers Could Cover The Spread

The 76ers have been top competitors in the Eastern Conference for while. They consistently compete with the best teams, but come up short. This season they are looking to make a deep run and finish the job. The Sixers only two losses of the season came against the Nets and Knicks, two of the best teams in the league. Philadelphia is coming off a solid victory against Portland. They will look to carry that momentum into a tough match up on Wednesday night.

Leading the way for Philadelphia is Joel Embiid. Embiid is a dominant force in the league. He is one of, if not the best big man in the league. He missed Philadelphia's game against the Blazers, however it was not due to injury. Embiid will play on Wednesday night and will be a huge part of the game. Joel is having a solid season, averaging 21 points and 9 rebounds a game, but will look to step things up against one of their toughest opponents yet. If he can get going then the Bulls will have a tough time competing.

Another bright spot in this Sixers team has been Seth Curry. Curry has really stepped it up this season. He is averaging a career high 16.4 points per game while shooting over 54% from beyond the arc. Seth is instant offense for this team and has really stepped up. If Curry starts hitting shots against the Bulls then Chicago will have a tough time responding. While everyone knows how good his brother is, don't sleep on Seth Curry, he has the ability to impact and win games.

Final Bulls-76ers Prediction & Pick

The line for this game is kind of confusing. The Bulls only loss of the season came against one of the best teams in the league by one point. Yet Chicago enters this game as an underdog. It's as if people aren't buying into the legitimacy of this Bulls team. The Bulls are certainly legitimate. Chicago dominated the Celtics and the Jazz, two of the best teams in the NBA. The Chicago Bulls are one of the best teams in the league and as underdogs they make this pick very easy. Pick Chicago to cover and get ready for the Bulls to keep on proving the haters wrong.
