Will Ben Simmons play for the Philadelphia 76ers? Has Zach LaVine revived the Chicago Bulls? Our choice for Tuesday’s NBA picks depends on the answers.
Chicago Bulls vs. Philadelphia 76ers
Friday, February 19, 2021 – 7:30 PM ET at Wells Fargo Center
They’re two of the most polarizing point guards in the NBA, so of course they’re the key figures in our NBA picks for Tuesday’s matchup between the Chicago Bulls (12-15 SU, 16-11 ATS) and the Philadelphia 76ers (19-10 SU, 14-14-1 ATS). But there’s a big difference between Chicago’s Zach LaVine and Philly’s Ben Simmons: LaVine doesn’t have the flu – at least, not that we know of. Simmons is day-to-day for the Sixers after missing Wednesday’s 118-113 win over the Houston Rockets (+8 away).
Given how valuable Simmons is to Philadelphia, we don’t expect any more NBA odds to come down the wire until more is known about his status. However, we’re very happy to put out an early recommendation on the Bulls if Simmons sits this one out. For that matter, we’ll also lean slightly towards Chicago if he does play. To the pickmobile!
Pro-Zach Nation
There’s been plenty of buzz around LaVine (plus-4.1 BPM) the past week or so, and deservedly so. His career was going off the rails after three fruitless years with the Minnesota Timberwolves, and a rough start with the Bulls in 2017-18. Now LaVine is playing at an All-Star level for new head coach Billy Donovan. The former UCLA Bruin is shooting better from everywhere on the court, and his playmaking and defense have improved – although there’s still work to do in both those areas.
In theory, the Bulls are counting on LaVine even more now that Lauri Markkanen (plus-0.3 BPM) is out with a sprained right shoulder. But overall, things are working out famously; they’ve gone 4-2 SU and ATS since Markkanen last played. Thaddeus Young (plus-2.1 BPM) has outperformed Markkanen this year, and there isn’t much drop-off between the young Finn and Wendell Carter (minus-1.4 BPM), who returned to the lineup on Monday. Even 2019 second-rounder Daniel Gafford (plus-0.2 BPM) has played solid big-man minutes off the bench. Crank up the Alan Parsons Project. The Bulls are back in town.

Oh, wait, they’re in Philadelphia, so let’s crank up the Ween instead. There’s also been plenty of buzz around Simmons (plus-4.2 BPM), but it hasn’t been positive – he’s like the anti-LaVine, all defense and playmaking. That’s what the Sixers need, though. They’ve already solved their spacing issues with Seth Curry (minus-0.4 BPM) and Danny Green (minus-1.2 BPM) bombing away from downtown alongside Tobias Harris (plus-2.8 BPM). Simmons is a plus-8.6 per 100 possessions for Philly, according to the On/Off stats at Basketball Reference. He’s never been more important to their cause.
Coach Of The Year
Whether Simmons is healthy enough to play Friday remains in question as we go to press, though, so we can’t say how the NBA lines will come out for this one. If he doesn’t play, we’re more interested in picking the Bulls; Joel Embiid (plus-7.9 BPM) is overshadowing just about everything else in Philly right now, and he’s got a sore back, so this should still be a good spot to fade the Sixers either way. They’ve dropped the cash in each of their last four games. Let’s see if they make it five in a row.
