PREVIEW: The Philadelphia 76ers visit the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday as a 1.5-point underdog, with both teams sitting at 5-1 on the season. Philadelphia arrives off a dominant 129-105 road victory over Brooklyn , while Chicago is recovering from a 128-116 loss to the Knicks on the road. The 76ers lead the league in scoring with 125.7 points per game and rank first in overall offensive efficiency. What makes this matchup intriguing is how each team's offensive approach differs— the Bulls showcase elite passing ranked first league-wide and attack the rim frequently at fourth in the NBA, yet struggle with inefficient rim attacks at 28th. The Bulls average 121.7 points per game and maintain a perfect 3-0 record when exceeding their defensive benchmark of 118.2 points. Philadelphia operates with neutral spacing on offense (ranked 23rd) but ranks 21st in the league in defense against three-point shooting. Josh Giddey continues orchestrating Chicago's attack with near triple-double production while Tyrese Maxey leads Philadelphia's balanced scoring attack. The 76ers will need to limit second-chance opportunities and keep the Bulls uncomfortable in the half court, while Chicago must capitalize on their size advantage and ball movement to break down a stingy Philadelphia defense.
