76ers vs Bulls Prediction, Odds & Game Preview 4/13/2025

The red-hot Chicago Bulls bring their momentum to Wells Fargo Center today, riding a wave of success with nine wins in their last twelve games while facing a depleted Philadelphia squad that's dropped 13 of their last 14 contests.

Chicago's resurgence has been fueled by balanced scoring from White, Vucevic, and Giddey, though they'll be missing key personnel in what should still be a favorable matchup against a 76ers team playing without Embiid, Maxey, and practically their entire starting lineup.

This final regular season game carries significant implications for the Bulls' play-in tournament positioning while possibly offering a glimpse into Chicago's dark-horse potential when the Philadelphia 76ers host the Chicago Bulls in what has become a decidedly lopsided rivalry this spring.

Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls preview

The struggling Philadelphia 76ers host the red-hot Chicago Bulls at Wells Fargo Center in what looks like a serious mismatch to close out the regular season.

Chicago has been downright impressive lately, winning nine of their last twelve games and securing the ninth seed in the NBA Play-In Tournament, while Philly has essentially thrown in the towel with just one win in their last ten contests.

Coby White's emergence as the Bulls' scoring leader (20.7 PPG) alongside Nikola Vucevic's consistent double-double production gives Chicago legitimate dark-horse potential heading into the postseason.

Without Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey in the lineup, the 76ers have become a glorified G-League team relying on youngsters like Jared Butler and Marcus Bagley to carry the scoring load.

The head-to-head history slightly favors Philly this season (winning three of four meetings), but with most of their roster sidelined, that advantage has evaporated completely.

Chicago's defensive improvement, ranking second in opponent three-point percentage (34.5%), should neutralize whatever offensive firepower Philadelphia might muster.

Don't expect the Bulls to show too much of their playoff strategy in this meaningless finale, but they'll likely control the pace while giving their rotation players enough minutes to maintain rhythm before the Play-In.

If there's a silver lining for Sixers fans, it's that this nightmare season ends today, allowing the front office to regroup and figure out how to maximize their star talent next year.
