Chicago has moved to the brink of a playoff berth due largely to its dominant play at home. The Bulls have won five straight and 12 of their last 13 at the United Center, and are battling Detroit for the seventh seed.

After posting a season-low point total in a 96-67 loss to New Jersey on Sunday, the 76ers fell 101-98 at Charlotte on Tuesday for their third straight road defeat and second consecutive loss overall.

The 6-point underdog Sixers have won three straight in Chicago, taking the most recent meeting there 103-95 in overtime Dec. 2.

Andre Iguodala is averaging 21.6 points against the Bulls over the last two seasons and 24.0 in the last three games at the United Center.
