In this story:

A busy road trip for the Philadelphia 76ers will conclude on Saturday night.

Facing the second night of a back-to-back set, the Sixers will pay a visit to the Chicago Bulls after battling it out with the Houston Rockets on Friday night.

When the Bulls and the Sixers faced each other a couple of weeks back, the Sixers were on quite a roll. However, Chicago wasn’t fazed by Philadelphia’s conference-leading win streak.

A 40-point showing by Joel Embiid was spoiled by the Bulls. While the game was tight, the Sixers couldn’t overcome the Bulls and fell short with a four-point loss after getting outscored in the second and third quarters of the matchup. 

Lately, the Bulls have been slowly climbing up the Eastern Conference ranks. While they haven’t totally hit their stride, they’ve gone 5-5 over the previous ten games and sit tenth in the Eastern Conference with a 14-19 record.

Meanwhile, the Sixers have bounced back since suffering a loss to Chicago. In the following five matchups, the Sixers won all but one of their games. On Saturday, they are searching for their third-straight victory.
