What to Know

The Bulls have enjoyed a six-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will square off against the Philadelphia 76ers at 7:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Wells Fargo Center. The Bulls fans better hope the squad plays one heck of a game as the odds are decidedly against them.

You can't lose the contest if you win every quarter, and that was precisely the Bulls' strategy against the 76ers on Saturday. Chicago came out on top against Philadelphia by a score of 105-92.

Chicago's win bumped their record up to 15-19. As for Philadelphia, their defeat dropped their record down to 22-10.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Bulls haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 11.4 turnovers per game (they're ranked first in turnovers per game overall). However, it's not like the 76ers (currently ranked fifth in turnovers per game) struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 11.8 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

The Bulls were able to grind out a solid victory over the 76ers when the teams last played on Saturday, winning 105-92. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Bulls since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
