Philadelphia at Chicago

The Philadelphia 76ers are an up-and-coming team and at 30-25 on the season. It sure looks like they have improved enough to be a playoff team this season, and gain some valuable experience going forward. Like a lot of young teams, they have learned how to win at home as they have a scoring margin on the season of +5.8 in home games, but are -2.0 on the road, or about an eight point difference. That tells me that the line here is way over done, as they would be -13 in Philly, and that hasn't happened all season. The Bulls have split their last four games, and certainly have enough to stay close at home vs. a road team that doesn't have the knockout punch just yet. Play on Chicago.

1 unit on Chicago +7 (-110) (risk 1 to return 1.91)
