The Philadelphia 76ers got the break they needed Saturday, when Chicago Bulls' star point guard Derrick Rose injured his left knee late in Chicago's Game 1, 103-91, victory and is now will not play for the remainder of the season. On Tuesday, the Sixers, who trail in the best-of-seven series 1-0, will try to take advantage of the Bulls misfortune starting at 8 p.m. ET on TNT.
Over the course of the regular season, the Bulls played without Rose a lot and still managed to go 18-9 without their star. However, in the playoffs its a bit different as now a Game 1 loss by the Sixers has now turned into a surprising momentum builder and victory Tuesday will help Philly take home-court advantage way from the top-seeded Bulls.

Location: United Center, Chicago.
Game TIme: 8 p.m. ET
