Chicago at Philadelphia

Both of these teams are dealing with key losses as the Bulls are without Joakim Noah, and the Sixers will be missing their best player in Andre Iguodala. There is no doubt that the Bulls have more to compensate for the loss of Noah, than the already weak Sixers without Iguodala. That makes the Bulls an attractive road dog here. That rings clearer when you consider the Sixers are 4-13 straight-up this season vs. a team with a winning record, and that was with Iguodala. The Bulls are playing their best basketball in years at 14-3 in their last 17 games and are 18-2 on the season vs. a team with a losing record. So we have a very live dog here that has been beating the weaker teams at a 90% clip all season. No question, I’m taking Chicago in this one.
