Capper Penguin's Wednesday NBA Pick: 76ers @ Bulls - 3/22

Big Joel is on a MVP campaign and will be without his co-star, James Harden, vs the Bulls in a back to back matchup.

Joel scored 37 points last game, but we can credit the cover to overtime as he scored only 33 in regulation. He played a bad game with foul trouble making him hesitant in situations where he usually dominates. Ultimately, it resulted in his first loss ever vs the Bulls (Embiid won 12 of 12 games before the last matchup). I'm expecting him to be aggressive this evening as he'll have a fresh set of fouls to give and Vucevic can't guard him. He will also be looking to get back to his winning ways vs Chicago.

He's covered this line in his last 7 of 8 games and should get the 8th this evening.
