SportsLine's model just revealed its NBA picks and predictions for Monday's Chicago Bulls vs. Philadelphia 76ers matchup

Now, resistible force meets movable object as the Sixers and Bulls face off at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday night. Here to get us up to speed on a new-look Chicago team is Steph Noh, who covers the NBA for The Sporting News and is an absolute must-read on all things Bulls. Let's talk to Steph:

We’re back with another betting prediction and pick inside the NBA as we take a look at this next showdown in the Eastern Conference. The Chicago Bulls (22-35) will visit the Philadelphia 76ers (20-36) as Philadelphia leads the season series 2-0.

As the Sixers’ poor efforts continue, let’s see if they can end their seven-game losing streak on Monday against the Bulls.

Like against the New York Knicks on Thursday, the Chicago Bulls played close against a talented Phoenix Suns, but they could not pull out a win in a 121-117 finish in front of 21,116 fans at the United Center on Saturday.

The Chicago Bulls have lost four straight games — and five of their last six — to fall to 10th in the Eastern Conference in what’s been another disappointing season. But according to a report in the Chicago Sun-Times, head coach Billy Donovan remains secure in his job, as does the front office.

Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on February 25. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Before the All-Star break, the Bulls suffered back-to-back blowout losses at home against the Detroit Pistons. One of those losses was by 40 points. They didn't win on Thursday night, but it looked a lot better than those two games.

The Chicago Bulls went into the All-Star break on a four-game losing streak, and now have to face the New York Knicks in their first game post-vacation. The Knicks are in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 36-18 record, while the Bulls continue to sit in tenth place at 22-33.

Two teams desperate to end long losing streaks collide Monday when the Philadelphia 76ers host the Chicago Bulls.

Will Joel Embiid suit up on Monday after his rough showing on Saturday? Sixers head coach Nick Nurse is unsure.

Chicago enters the matchup against Philadelphia as losers of six straight games. The teams meet Monday for the first time this season.
