• The Bulls will enter tonight’s matchup with the Philidelphia 76ers on a three-game losing streak. Two nights ago against the Atlanta Hawks, they ended up playing without both All-Stars after the team announced Nikola Vucevic as a late scratch with an adductor strain.

What To Watch For
Well, for starters, how about a winning streak? Since claiming victory in their first two games of the season, the Timberwolves have failed to string together back-to-back wins since the day after Christmas.
After a surprising (albeit somewhat-deserved) victory against the
Toronto Tampa Bay Raptors, the Wolves return to Minnesota for a series of games on their home floor, starting tonight with a game against the Los Angeles Lakers, followed by contests against the Indiana Pacers (Wednesday) and Raptors (Friday).
Considering the fact that the last time these two franchises squared off resulted in the biggest blowout of the season for Minnesota (the Wolves lost 127-91 at Staples Center), it’s fair for many of you to simply DVR this one and find better ways to spend your Tuesday evening. However, this stat from our good friend Alan Horton is pretty mind-blowing and defini
