Sixers vs. Bulls Betting Odds, Picks, Prediction (February 6, 2022)
On Sunday afternoon, the Sixers will be in the Windy City to take on the Chicago Bulls. The Sixers dropped their second straight game on Friday night and are now fifth in the Eastern Conference standings. The Bulls continue to be the conference’s unlikely leader, ahead of the Miami Heat on winning percentage and leading the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks by a single game.
Let’s get into our Sixers vs. Bulls betting pick with player prop predictions, odds, and analysis for this February 6, 2022 matchup.
Sixers vs. Bulls Betting Pick (February 6, 2022)
Both the Sixers and the Bulls are currently in the unenviable position of doing enough good things to create a necessary distraction from what is happening with their winter sport counterparts. The basketball teams in Philadelphia and Chicago are doing just fine. The hockey teams, though…far, far from it.
The Flyers have 38 points in 45 games played. They are in seventh place in the Metropolitan Division and find themselves in the unenviable position of playing out the string on this regular season with 37 games left to play. The second level of the Wells Fargo Center during Flyers games these days is emptier than the Flyers’ trophy case over the last 45 years. It’s bleak.
And yet, compared to what’s happening with the Blackhawks, the Flyers are a civic treasure. It’s not just that the Blackhawks also suck — 39 points from 46 games played — it’s that the team is working through organizational chaos of its own making. The Kyle Beach story continues to dominate the headlines in Chicago even after the player and the team reached a settlement in December.
With the local hockey teams disgracing themselves on a seemingly daily basis, the Sixers and the Bulls will continue to carry the weight of being the “good ones” until further notice.

Sixers to Win and Over 222 Total Points (+210, FanDuel Sportsbook)

The Bulls can’t stop scoring, and they can’t really stop other teams from scoring, either. Here are the totals in the last five games the Bulls played: 253, 246, 241, 247, 237. That’s wild. The Bulls are without Lonzo Ball for a while, and they may not have Zach LaVine. But this total is a lot lower than what Bulls games have been averaging lately. We like the over whether the Sixers win or not.

This prop doesn’t look right. Maxey’s over/under on points should probably be 17.5. But it’s not our job to tell the books what to offer; it’s our job to pick off the places the books try to give money away. Maxey had 18 points two nights ago, 22 against Washington on Wednesday night and 33 against Memphis on January 31. The Bulls don’t defend well. Maxey could get to 16 by halftime.

Nikola Vucevic Over 20.5 Points (-105, DraftKings Sportsbook)
21+ and present in participating states. Gambling problem? Call 1-800-GAMBLER.
Just because Vucevic is a soft, enigmatic, can’t-win-with-him guy who is a classic compiler (over 12,000 points and over 7,000 rebounds in his career to date) doesn’t mean he isn’t worth a wager in a game like this one. Vucevic is very hot right now, with games of 36 and 30 points in his last two and 18 or more points in eight of his last ten.

DeMar DeRozan Over 0.5 Three-Point Field Goals (+120, BetMGM)
DeRozan is something of a modern throwback player in that he is averaging 26.6 points per game this season without being a three-point sniper. DeRozan lives in the mid-range (basically the worst shot in modern basketball) and at the free throw line. With Ball out and LaVine questionable, though, DeRozan will have to take a few threes today to open the floor up. We’re betting on him making one.

Maybe this is projecting onto the Sixers urgency that they don’t feel. Maybe they don’t look beyond today’s opponent or have much concern about what’s coming. But here’s the truth: The Sixers play the Phoenix Suns in two days, and that’s almost certainly going to be a loss. They’re getting a weakened Bulls team today, and they need to take advantage. We’re not laying points though. We’re dumb, but we’re not stupid.
