76ers and Bulls Set for Windy City Rematch
The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Chicago Bulls at United Center on Wednesday night.

The 76ers (48-23) have enjoyed an excellent post-All-Star-break portion of the season overall and still have a chance to garner the East's top seed, but their most recent time on the floor resulted in a 109-105 double-overtime loss to these same Bulls on Monday night. Joel Embiid led the 76ers with a 37-point, 16-rebound double-double that included one assist, three blocks and one steal. Tyrese Maxey registered 22 points, six assists, five rebounds and one block. De'Anthony Melton delivered 19 points, six boards, one assist, four steals and one block. Tobias Harris furnished 14 points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block.

The 76ers will list Harden (Achilles) and P.J. Tucker (ankle) as questionable for Wednesday's contest.

The Bulls' (34-37) win over Philadelphia on Monday night was their fifth victory in the last six games, keeping them firmly in the postseason conversation and affording them a hold on the No. 10 seed for the time being. Against the 76ers, Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 26 points, seven assists, two rebounds, three steals and one block. DeMar DeRozan turned in 25 points, eight boards, two assists, three steals and one block. Nikola Vucevic generated a 21-point, 12-rebound double-double that included two assists and four steals. Coby White and Derrick Jones compiled 11 and 10 points, respectively, while recording three rebounds apiece.

The Bulls will list Javonte Green (knee) as probable and Alex Caruso (foot) as questionable for Wednesday's game.

Wednesday's game marks the fourth and final meeting between the teams this season. The Bulls hold a 2-1 series lead.
