Prediction for the NBA match which will take place on December 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Under Nick Nurse, the Seventy Sixers have become a team that tries to play fast-paced offensive basketball. And Phila has made a lot of progress in the first quarter of the season. You only have to look at recent results to realize that scoring 120+ points per game is not a problem for the 76ers.

Heading into the meeting with Chicago, Philadelphia has six wins in a row. The level of opponents in that stretch hasn't been very high - Detroit and Washington, Charlotte and Atlanta twice each. But the level of offensive play is still impressive - the Seventy Sixers have not scored less than 124 points in those six meetings.

If Philadelphia is one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, Chicago is close to rebuilding. In its current lineup, the team has been uncompetitive, and the indicator is only 12th place in the East with a 10-17 balance.

The Bulls played two previous games away against Miami and surprisingly won the first meeting - 124:116, and lost the second game only in the end - 116:118. However, it should be noted that the Heat did not play in the optimal lineup.

One of the Bulls' biggest problems this season is defense on the perimeter. The team is last in the league in missed three-point attempts at an average of 14.6 per game. Although Philadelphia is more willing to attack from two-point range, you can bet on their three-pointers in the upcoming game. Nick Nurse is too smart not to take advantage of the opponent's weaknesses. We'll take Phila's three-pointers, their individual total over three-pointers.
