The San Antonio Spurs have been in a major slump as they’ve lost 13 of their last 14 games overall and they will be hoping to put a halt to an eight-game slide after getting thrashed by the 76ers in a 137-125 loss on Friday. Malaki Branham led the team with 26 points on 11 of 16 shooting, Keldon Johnson added 18 points while Jakob Poeltl chipped in with 16 points, 10 rebounds and five assists.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls have been in decent shape as they’ve won six of their last nine games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after beating the Trail Blazers in a 129-121 home win on Saturday. Zach LaVine led the team with 36 points, six rebounds and five assists, DeMar DeRozan added 27 points with seven rebounds and seven assists while Nikola Vucevic chipped in with 23 points, 11 rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Bulls shot 60 percent from the field and 12 of 26 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in deep trouble when they leaked 43 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 17 points, but they won behind their defense, holding the Trail Blazers to just 17 points in the third quarter to set up the impressive comeback win.
