Best NBA prop bets today for Bulls vs. Sixers (Joel Embiid should go off)

Arguably the best matchup in the Eastern Conference on Monday night comes between the Chicago Bulls and Philadelphia 76ers.

Philly is looking to extend its winning streak to nine games, while the Bulls are looking to win their third straight.

With a rather sizable spread set for this game, why not look into some player props for our best bets? Here are my two favorites on Monday:

Bulls vs. Sixers best NBA prop bets

• Joel Embiid OVER 33.5 Points
• Zach LaVine OVER 3.5 Assists

Joel Embiid OVER 33.5 Points

Joel Embiid has dominated the Bulls in his last four games against them, scoring 30, 40, 43 and 25 points.

The Sixers center is leading the NBA in scoring this season, and Nikola Jokic and Andre Drummond both aren’t equipped to handle Embiid’s diverse offensive game.

Embiid has cleared this line in seven of his last nine games, scoring at least 31 points in each of them. It may seem like a crazy high number, but with the way Embiid is playing, he should blow past it.

Zach LaVine OVER 3.5 Assists

Zach LaVine isn’t exactly known for being a playmaker, but he’s cleared 3.5 assists in eight of his last 10 games for the Bulls.

This is a tough matchup on the road against a Philly team that ranks inside the top-10 in the league in defensive rating, but LaVine is averaging 4.1 assists per game on the season.

If all we’re asking is for LaVine to hit his season average of four-plus assists for a game, something he’s done in seven straight, I think it’s worth a shot on Monday.
