76ers vs. Bulls Prediction: Pass on Philadelphia at -405
Analysis updated November 8, 2026 at 7:38 AM CST
Philadelphia is favored by 9.5 points, but the available evidence doesn't support laying the spread or paying -405 on the road.
Injuries make Philadelphia's price hard to justify
Philadelphia is a -405 road favorite against Chicago, with the Bulls at +319. Those prices point to a 76ers win, but Philadelphia's injury report makes the moneyline too expensive to recommend.
The NBA lists Joel Embiid as probable while he manages a right-foot plantar-fascia injury. Dominick Barlow, Adem Bona and Ariel Hukporti are out, leaving Philadelphia with less frontcourt depth if Embiid is limited or unavailable.
Chicago's frontcourt is also unsettled
The NBA lists Chicago big men Nic Claxton and Tobe Awaka as questionable. Zach Collins is out, while Jalen Smith is probable. Those designations could change the matchup, but they don't provide a sound reason to back Chicago as a 9.5-point underdog.
Philadelphia is the likelier winner, but the available information doesn't establish that the 76ers should cover -9.5. There also isn't enough pace or scoring evidence to support a bet on the 238.5 total. Pass on all three markets.
