The Philadelphia 76ers return home on Monday to play host to the Chicago Bulls and begin a three-game homestand. The Sixers have won six games in a row as they have taken advantage of the soft portion of the schedule.
With the Bulls (10-17) invading the Wells Fargo Center on Monday, it is another opportunity for the Sixers to bank a victory before a big step up in competition against the West leading Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.
As far as injuries are concerned, Joel Embiid is listed as questionable for the contest due to left hamstring tightness. He has been fantastic of late, but if the hamstring is bothering him, it might be better for the Sixers to let him rest.
Marcus Morris Sr. is also listed as questionable due to an illness.

Embiid is averaging 34.2 points, 11.7 rebounds and 6 assists on the season. He has been even better than his MVP season of 2022-23. Morris has been very good off the bench since finding a consistent role. If either or both can’t go, it will be on others to step up.
The tip from the Wells Fargo Center is set for 7 p.m. EST on Monday.
