Tonight, your Chicago Bulls catch a massive break, as they will square off against a visiting Philadelphia 76ers team missing its best player, All-NBA center Joel Embiid. Given that the Bulls have never once beaten the Sixers when Embiid is healthy, this at least will give them a fighting chance against a 23-14 Philly club that had been surging of late (8-2 in its last 10).
On Wednesday, Chicago stunned the Brooklyn Nets by ending the club’s 12-game win streak with a 121-112 victory while weathering 44 points from All-Star forward Kevin Durant. Despite a pretty darn mid 17-21 overall record, Da Bulls boast a surprising 6-1 record against the East’s top three seeds.
