  • The Sixers are 20-36 and have the second-worst record in the Atlantic Division.
  • Chicago is 22-35 and has the worst record in the Central Division.
  • These teams last played on Jan. 25, with the Sixers claiming a 109-97 victory.

One of the games on Monday’s NBA slate features the Philadelphia 76ers hosting the Chicago Bulls. Which team finally ends its losing streak in our Sixers vs Bulls pick?

Sixers Hope To End Seven-Game Skid

After squeaking by the Dallas Mavericks 118-116 on Feb. 4, the Sixers have plummeted, dropping their last seven games. This includes a 105-103 loss against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night.

Tyrese Maxey set the tone for a balanced scoring attack in which all five starters reached double figures. He scored 31 points, handed out five assists, and shot 5-for-11 from beyond the arc.

Quentin Grimes finished with 16 points, seven boards, and five assists. Paul George added 15 points, while Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre Jr. contributed 14 points apiece.

Despite Brooklyn jumping out to an early 10-point advantage, the game was knotted at 103 in the closing moments. Keon Johnson missed a long 3-pointer, but Nic Claxton tipped in the miss as time expired, handing Philly its seventh straight defeat.

Bulls Struggling As Well, Aim To End Six-Game Slide

Following a 133-124 victory against the Miami Heat on Feb. 4, the Bulls have lost their previous six outings, including a 121-117 defeat at the hands of the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night.

Josh Giddey scored a team-high 24 points, along with 10 assists and eight rebounds.

Coby White finished with 20 points. Nikola Vucevic added 16 points and 11 rebounds. And rookie Matas Buzelis contributed 15 points on 5-for-10 shooting from the field.

Chicago trailed by 12 points in the third quarter but trimmed the deficit to three in the game’s waning moments. Unfortunately, Bradley Beal knocked down a key 3-pointer from the left wing, giving the Suns a six-point advantage en route to ending their four-game losing streak.

Sixers vs Bulls Pick: Cautiously Picking Philadelphia In A Close One

Neither team is playing well coming into this matchup, as they have combined for 13 straight losses.

Additionally, both teams are mediocre at best on offense and rank in the bottom third on defense.

The Sixers have the talent to come out on top in this matchup. At the same time, it would not shock me if Chicago squeaked out a victory here, either.
