76ers vs. Bulls Game Info
Philadelphia 76ers (24-12, 8-9 Away) vs. Chicago Bulls (16-18, 7-11 Home)
Date: Thursday, March 11, 2021
Time: 8 p.m. EST
Venue: United Center — Chicago, Ill.
The 76ers enter this lineup with some notable absences. After being ruled out of the All-Star Game due to COVID-19 tracing, both Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons will be out for the game tonight as well. This rules out an average 46.3 points per game between those two players. Shake Milton and Dwight Howard will both need to step up in the starters’ absences.
The Bulls could be in the opposite situation, as they get healthier. Lauri Markkanen is probable to play after a shoulder injury had kept him out since Feb. 6. Veteran Otto Porter is also considered probable to play. He’s been out since Feb. 1, so the Bulls rotation could be looking quite a bit different tonight.

76ers vs. Bulls NBA Picks | Total
Much like the point spread, those making NBA betting picks for the total in tonight’s 76ers – Bulls game should be a bit selective. Those interested in betting the total over will find the best value at William Hill in the form of an over 227 (-110) ticket.

76ers vs. Bulls Prediction
The 76ers have been terrific at home, but they have struggled away from Philadelphia. They have a 6-10-1 record against the spread on the road this season. As an away underdog is even worse, with a 1-4 record. With Chicago getting healthier and Philadelphia missing their top two players, I’ll side with the trends and bet against the Sixers on the road.
Prediction: Bulls -3.5
