Chicago started the season by defeating Miami 116-108 before losing its following two games to Washington and Cleveland. With victories over Boston and Indiana earlier this week, the Bulls were able to recoup their momentum. Additionally, After scoring 17 points on Wednesday, star guard DeMar DeRozan entered Friday night’s game in San Antonio with a chance to surpass 20,000 career points. With just six active players having reached that mark, he simply needed seven points to become the 54th player in league history to achieve 20,000 points. Also, With 28 points in Chicago’s victory over Indiana, Zach LaVine topped all scorers with the team.
With four losses in its first five games this season, Philadelphia has fallen short of expectations (this article was written prior to Friday night’s game in Toronto). Following defeats by Boston and Milwaukee, the 76ers’ lone victory came against Indiana on Monday, breaking a losing streak. They failed to build on that victory, falling to Toronto on Wednesday with a score of 119-109. After the first quarter, Toronto led 35-27 and never looked back in the victory. Philadelphia made 44.4% of its 3-point attempts, or 50.6% of its total field goals. However, the 76ers were unable to overcome a subpar defensive effort.

Chicago Bulls vs Philadelphia 76ers: Predictions
Philadelphia has been among the NBA’s least profitable teams thus far this season, therefore I have no desire to support them in this contest. DeRozan and LaVine, two excellent scorers for Chicago, give them an advantage over a Philadelphia club whose top scorer is now injured. Chicago has been one of the top defensive teams, while the 76ers are one of the NBA’s lowest scoring teams.
There isn’t much about the Philadelphia 76ers in this situation that I like because it’s an away game two nights after a back-to-back for Philadelphia. The betting odds are almost even, as 76ers are expected to improve their form and give the fans something to cheer for.
