Philadelphia 76ers vs Chicago Bulls: Injury Report, Predicted Lineups and Starting 5s - February 6th, 2022 | NBA Season 2021-22

The Philadelphia 76ers are all set to face the Chicago Bulls on Sunday night. The teams have already met twice this season with Joel Embiid and company defeating the Bulls both times. Their third encounter, however, may have a different outcome.

In their most recent meeting, Philadelphia beat Chicago 114-105. Embiid's brilliant performance kept coach Billy Donovan's team from winning. The Sixers' big man scored 30 points and snatched 16 rebounds while also making 4 of his 5 attempts from downtown. Chicago's Zach LaVine led all scorers in the game but his 32 points were not enough to secure a victory.

Heading into Sunday, the Bulls stand at the top of the Eastern Conference with a record of 33-19. A loss would push them down to second place. Meanwhile, Philly, who will head to Chicago on a two-game losing streak, stands fifth in the East with a record of 31-21.
