After a couple of really close calls, I was able to land my first Same-Game Parlay winner of the season at +1098 odds on the Pacers vs Wizards game last night! I am going at it again tonight on the Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls game. Tip-off is set for 8 pm ET on NBA TV, continue reading below to see my bet.

Chicago Bulls Money Line (+118)
This might be Chicago's best chance to end what has been a brutal run against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bulls have lost the last 11 meetings over the span of the last 3 seasons by an average of 12.2 points per game. That all could end tonight for the simply reason that Joel Embiid might not play. After missing last night's game in Toronto, the big man is a game-time decision here. Chicago hasn't had an answer for him, he is averaging 29.5 points per game in 11 career games against the Bulls and he's scored 40+ on them in back-to-back meetings. The Bulls are 2-1 at home so far on the season, the loss at San Antonio should come as a wake-up call for a team hungry for success against Conference rivals and the 76ers are certainly one of those teams. Other than Lonzo Ball being out, Chicago should be at full strength here and it's time for them to finally get the monkey off their back.
