FanDuel. Averaging 29.3 points plus rebounds this season, Giddey has cleared this line in 19/27 games (and 8/13 with Coby White). It should serve as a nice scoring and rebounding spot for the Bulls guard, against the Sixers who allow the sixth most rebounds per game, and are a bottom eight defense against both transition and pick and roll ball handling.

Joel Embiid (knee) is listed as questionable for this game. Given how fast the Bulls play, this isn’t exactly an ideal matchup for his knees with how much he’ll need to run up and down the floor. Even if he is cleared to play, he might be limited. This is an ideal matchup for Tyrese Maxey, who has scored at least 28 points in six of his last eight games. In four of them, he scored at least 35 points. Another 30-point outing could be in the cards for Maxey.

Unlike various teams, the Bulls are relatively healthy as New Year's beckons, and Billy Donovan seems to have found a recipe that works in the past week. In the current four-game win streak (all on the road, all at Cleveland & Atlanta), Chicago is hitting the accelerator, looking to go on transition and setting a fast pace, resulting in 135 pg scored across the win streak. The Josh Giddey-Coby White pairing on the perimeter has been clicking, while second-year F Matas Buzelis is scoring at a 22 pg clip across the past three. Meanwhile, Joel Embiid's status remains ? for Philly as he has been in and out of the lineup due to knee injury management, and VJ Edgecombe's status remains iffy (illness). Play Bulls
