Philadelphia off to a solid start
The Philadelphia 76ers have advanced to the second round of the playoffs in six of the previous nine years and are equipped to take the next step.

Chicago Bulls vs Philadelphia 76ers Picks and Prediction
Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -11.5
Chicago C Nic Claxton (hamstring) and Philadelphia C Joel Embiid (foot) are listed as questionable for this game. The Bulls had won four straight games against the 76ers, before falling by a 157-137 final score in March. Philadelphia ranks third in the league in defensive efficiency and will have no issue locking down Chicago’s poor shooting offense. Take the 76ers to cover the big number.
Pick: Under 237.5
The Bulls are playing at the fastest tempo in the league, but the 76ers prefer a much slower pace. Chicago’s pace masks the fact that they rank last in the NBA in effective field goal percentage. Despite their early season success, Philadelphia is still trying to figure things out on the offensive end of the floor. Take the under.
Final Score Prediction: Philadelphia 76ers win 124-105
