Stephen Nover's Monday Annihilator
(NBA) Chicago vs. Philadelphia, 11/09/2015 2:00 PM, Score: 111 - 88
Point Spread: -7.50 | -110.00 Chicago (Away)
Result: Win
The winless 76ers are as bad as they have been during their last two tanking seasons.

Philadelphia is 1-7 ATS in its last eight home games and has lost to Chicago 11 of 12 times, including the last six.

It's how the serious opposition takes the 76ers in determining the point spread.

The Bulls have been up and down under first-year coach Fred Hoiberg. They are coming off an embarrassing 102-93 home loss to another bottom feeder, the Timberwolves, this past Saturday. That game went into overtime where the Bulls managed to not score a point during the extra session. Humiliating.

Chicago doesn't play again until Friday when it hosts Charlotte.

So I see the Bulls holding nothing back. This is an opportunity to regain their confidence and get Hoiberg a needed victory. The Bulls have far more talent than the 76ers and also a much stronger bench. Chicago is one of the deepest teams in the league, which is a key if this game should reach garbage time. That's always a strong possibility when the 76ers are involved.
