The Philadelphia 76ers and Chicago Bulls are entering Tuesday night’s matchup at the United Center with several key players sidelined due to injury.
Philadelphia will be without Dominick Barlow and Paul George, while Jared McCain is listed as probable after recovering from thumb and knee surgeries.
Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey are expected to lead the 76ers’ lineup. Maxey is averaging 33.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 9.0 assists through six games this season, while Embiid contributes 19.5 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest. Kelly Oubre Jr. has also been a consistent scorer, averaging 19.5 points per game.
Chicago will be missing Zach Collins, Noa Essengue, and Coby White for Tuesday’s matchup. Ayo Dosunmu is questionable after sustaining a quadricep contusion, leaving the Bulls’ rotation slightly uncertain. Nikola Vucevic and Josh Giddey remain central to Chicago’s game plan, with Giddey posting 22.2 points and 8.7 assists per game this season.
The 76ers enter Tuesday with a 5-1 record, having won three of their last four games, including a 129–105 road victory against Brooklyn on November 2. Chicago also carries a 5-1 record, although the Bulls fell 116–128 at New York in their most recent outing.
Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET at the United Center in Chicago.
