The Philadelphia 76ers host the Chicago Bulls Sunday night at the Wells Fargo Center (7 p.m. ET on ESPN).

The Philadelphia 76ers will be looking for consecutive victories for the first time in almost a month Sunday, as they host the Chicago Bulls in an Eastern Conference contest (7 p.m. ET on ESPN) at the Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers (22-15) have lost six of their last eight contest, while the Bulls (30-8) are winners of 12 of their last 14.

On Friday, Philadelphia downed the Golden State Warriors 105-83, as Sixers guard Lou Williams paced all scorers with 25 points. The win was Philly's second since the All-Star break.

Meanwhile, Chicago will be trying to snap a four-game skid against the Sixers, who defeated them earlier in the season, 98-82. In the first match-up of the season, the Sixers forced 17 turnovers, however, the Bulls were without forward Luol Deng, who missed the game with a sprained left wrist.

The Bulls enter the contest as four-point favorites.
