Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls Prediction & Picks - NBA

Prediction published on 12/26/25, 3:46 PM  by Carlos Zabala in NBA Picks

The Bulls are definitely a streaky team; they managed to shake off a slump that lasted longer than expected, losing eight of their nine games between late November and early December, but now they'll play the 76ers the day after Christmas having won each of their last four games.

The Bulls' last two victories were both in Atlanta against the Hawks; the first came in what was the highest-scoring game of the season, a 152-150 win. Buzzelis scored 28 points, while eight Bulls players scored in double figures. The rematch took place two days later, and the Bulls again won a close game, 126-123, thanks in part to a triple-double from Giddey with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists; he helped his team overcome a 10-point deficit in that game.

Giddey himself also played a key role earlier in the season when the Bulls defeated the 76ers 113-111 in Philadelphia. The Bulls' rising star has now recorded seven triple-doubles this season.
