My Prediction
Philadelphia 76ers by 7Bulls fans might get a bit riled up with what I'm about to say but they are looking a bit shaky these days. Let's be honest here. Their record, 22 wins against 35 losses, leaves quite a bit to the imagination. I mean, they do have gems like Zach LaVine pulling 23.4 points per game this season, not to mention the young phenom Josh Giddey who's been pretty impressive last month with 16.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. But as we've seen time and time again, a couple of stars don't necessarily spell success in the NBA.
On the other side of the court, we have the 76ers. Now, here's a sight for sore eyes – Tyrese Maxey. Kid's been lighting it up with some serious numbers, 30.1 points per game last month, that's superstar talk. Of course, we can't forget Joel Embiid, ever the rock in Philadelphia's roaster, steadily dropping 22.5 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. The 76ers may not be faring much better in the season's record with 20 wins and 36 losses but let's not forget folks, history has a funny way of repeating itself and the past match-ups have been more favorable to the 76ers.
So, here's the deal. Both teams haven't been doing their best lately, but the Philadelphia's recent results ring some alarm bells for the Bulls. It's looking likely we'll see a repeat of past matchups rather than an upset.
