Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls: Live Blog & Updates

The Philadelphia 76ers will return to the court on Monday night. Coming off of a back-to-back set of games against the Charlotte Hornets and the Indiana Pacers to close out last week’s slate, the Sixers maintained their perfect stretch, which contains an eight-game win streak.

The Sixers will look to make it nine in a row on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. Earlier this year, the Sixers faced the Bulls twice. In the late October matchup, the Sixers defeated Chicago 114-109 on the road, extending their win streak over Chicago to 12 games.

When the two teams met in South Philly in early January, the Bulls finally snapped it. Defeating a Joel Embiid-less Sixers 126-112, Chicago found a way to take care of business.

This time around, Embiid is healthy and set to face the Bulls for the second time this season as he continues to work on improving his MVP campaign.
