Philadelphia @ Chicago

What to Know
The Chicago Bulls haven’t won a matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers since March 6 of 2019, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Sunday. They will face off against one another at 3:30 p.m. ET at United Center. The Bulls know how to get points on the board — the team has finished with flashy point totals in its past five matchups — so hopefully Philadelphia likes a good challenge.
Chicago beat the Indiana Pacers 122-115 this past Friday. Center Nikola Vucevic continued his habit of dropping crazy stat lines, posting a double-double on 36 points and 17 boards along with three blocks. That makes it four consecutive games in which Vucevic has had at least 13 rebounds. Vucevic’s points were the most he has had all season.
Meanwhile, the Sixers came up short against the Dallas Mavericks this past Friday, falling 107-98. A silver lining for the 76ers was the play of center Joel Embiid, who dropped a double-double on 27 points and 13 rebounds in addition to three blocks.
Chicago’s victory lifted them to 33-19 while Philadelphia’s defeat dropped them down to 31-21. We’ll see if the Bulls can repeat their recent success or if Philadelphia bounces back and reverse their fortune.
