Who will claim top spot atop the East standings on Wednesday when the 5-1 Bulls face the 5-1 76ers? Here is a betting preview and tips for the top matchup on the NBA Wednesday slate.
Wednesday 05/11/2025 at 12:00pm AEDT. Venue: United Center (Chicago)
It’s a battle between the two top teams in the East when the Bulls host the 76ers on Wednesday morning. Here are my tips and predictions for this matchup!
| SGM Bet | Tyrese Maxey 25+ Points – Josh Giddey 8+ Assists – Kelly Oubre Jr. 15+ Points | $4.59 | 
|---|---|---|
| Best Bet | Over 239.5 pts | $1.86 | 
The Bulls had their winning streak ended by the Knicks on the road last time out, going down 128-116. But they are undefeated in Chicago, going 3-0 with wins over the Knicks, Kings and Hawks.
After a 1 pt loss against the Celtics on their home court, the 76ers let out some frustration as they thrashed the Nets 129-105 on Monday. Maxey (26 pts) and Oubre (29 pts) dominated with Embiid sitting on the sidelines.

It’s been all Chicago in the last 2 meetings as they average a massive 26 point winning margin. Something says this will be a lot closer though.
| Home | Score | Away | Result | Arena | Margin | Total | Date |

| 102-122 | Bulls won by 20 pts | @ Philadelphia | 20 | 224 | Mon 14-Apr-2025 | ||

This matchup is trending towards a high scoring one with some of the best young players in the NBA on the court, such as Maxey and Giddey. The Over has been an excellent bet when the Bulls are at home, going 3-0 this season. The Over is also 5-0 when the 76ers hit the road.
