Joel Embiid's recent scoring surge makes him a prime candidate to smash the over on a 33.5-point line in the upcoming Sixers vs. Bulls showdown.

NBA fans, get ready for some fireworks as the Philadelphia 76ers square off against the Chicago Bulls in a rematch that promises high-scoring action. And if you're looking to make some dough, keep your eyes on Joel Embiid, who's been dropping buckets like it's nobody's business.

The Process has been on an absolute tear lately, averaging 36.2 points in his last 10 games and hitting the over on 33.5 points in a whopping 8 of those games. While he's been slightly under that mark against Chicago this season, averaging 31.0 points in their two matchups, it's worth noting that his overall numbers have been trending upwards, both over the last 10 and 5 games.

Let's break down Embiid's scoring stats a bit further. This season, he's averaging 33.55 points per game, with a slightly higher output at home (34.06 points) and a tad lower on the road (32.92 points). However, given his recent form, it's hard to imagine him not putting up big numbers in this crucial game against the Bulls.

What's fueling Embiid's scoring frenzy? For starters, he's been getting to the free-throw line with ease, exploiting defenders with his size and agility. Moreover, his mid-range game has been lethal, and he's been knocking down threes with confidence. In short, the man is in his bag right now.

The 76ers are also in a tight race for the coveted 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference, so every game counts. And with James Harden struggling in their recent loss to the Bulls, you can bet Embiid is going to step up and put the team on his back. After all, he's also gunning for that MVP award, and we all know big performances in big games count for a lot in those discussions.

As for the Bulls, they'll be eager to win this regular-season series against Philly for the first time since the 2016-17 season. With DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Nikola Vucevic combining for 72 of their 109 points in the previous matchup, there's no doubt they'll be bringing the heat. And when the game is competitive, it's a prime opportunity for Embiid to shine.

So, what does all this mean for you, the savvy sports bettor? It means that the over on Embiid's 33.5-point line is looking mighty attractive. Sure, there's always a risk when it comes to betting, but given his recent form, the stakes involved in the game, and his ability to score from virtually anywhere on the court, it's hard not to feel good about this one.

Of course, nothing is ever set in stone in the world of sports betting, but if you're looking for a solid pick with a high potential for payout, Joel Embiid's over on 33.5 points is definitely worth considering. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and get ready to watch The Process go to work as he looks to light up the scoreboard against the Bulls.
