The Philadelphia 76ers are mired in a franchise record 23-game losing streak. All that does is force the hands of the oddsmakers to push the envelope on this team with unreasonable point spreads, as they know the public wants no part of them. The combination of opponents taking a snooze against them and leaving the "A" game in the locker room, knowing they have an easy win, with the added points in the line have become favorable for the Sixers. They have covered five of their last six when taking double-digits, with each of the last four resulting in less than 10-point losses. The Bulls are decidedly no-shows vs. teams below .400 at 8-18 ATS in their last 26, and will probably notch the win here, but will fall well short of the blowout. Take the points on Philly.
