It’s Sunday, April 13, and the Chicago Bulls (38-43) and Philadelphia 76ers (24-57) are all set to square off from Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
The Bulls are currently 20-20 on the road with a point differential of -2, while the 76ers have a 2-8 record in their last ten games at home. Chicago is 5-1 over the last six games compared to Philly who is 1-13 over the last 14. Philadelphia is 2-1 against Chicago this season but lost by 32 points in the previous meeting.
Chicago's head coach Billy Donovan said he expects his starters to play full minutes here, but I highly doubt that since Chicago is locked into the No. 9 seed. Philadelphia has the third-worst record in the East and fifth-worst record overall, so there's no incentive to win or lose, just pride on the line in the final home game of the year.
We’ve got all the info and analysis you need to know ahead of the game, including the latest info on how to catch tipoff, odds, recent team performance, player stats, and of course, our predictions, picks & best bets for the game from our modeling tools and staff of experts.

The latest odds as of Sunday:
That gives the Bulls an implied team point total of 120.13, and the 76ers 114.92.

"Whether or not Chicago does play its starters full minutes, the first half would be the better way to back them, but after that, I would solely look at the 76ers to win or cover this game. There is no incentive to win for Chicago as they are locked into the No. 9 seed and unable to move up or down due to tiebreakers. If the starters do play, the first half is the best angle, but the 76ers could be good value to live bet."
