After a hot run, Chicago has cooled off, dropping two of the last three. The defense has allowed over 100 points in 12 of the last 13, including over 123 points five times. They come off a wild 132-128 double-overtime loss at New Orleans. This is their third straight road game and the team is 7-17 straight-up on the road. Chicago is #25 in the NBA defensively in points allowed. Young Philadelphia has turned things around, winning seven of nine. The team is top seven in the league in scoring. Sixers center Joel Embiid has five double-doubles in seven games this month and is averaging 23.3 points and 11.4 rebounds in January. This is the sixth home game over the last eight contests for the 76ers, and this is a great situational spot for the home team to win the game. Play Philadelphia on the moneyline.
