=== Iverson-less Sixers visit Bulls ===

Chicago, IL (My Sportsbook) - The Philadelphia 76ers try to win their third straight contest tonight, as they visit the Chicago Bulls at the United Center.

The 76ers are expected to be without All-Star guard Allen Iverson for the second straight game. Iverson is suffering from a right knee injury. Philadelphia is 6-13 without the Georgetown product this season.

Philadelphia is in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, two games out of a playoff spot. On Monday, Greg Buckner scored a season-high 20 points off the bench, as the 76ers earned a 97-92 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks at the Wachovia Center.

Eric Snow had 17 points and 12 assists for the Sixers, who erased a 20-point deficit for their second win in a row. Zendon Hamilton had a season-high 19 points and nine rebounds, while Kenny Thomas chipped in 14 points and 15 rebounds in the win.

Philadelphia is 3-6 in Tuesday games this season.

The 76ers, who play five of their next six on the road, are just 10-22 as the visitor this season.

Chicago, which is tied with Orlando for the least amount of wins (18) in the NBA this season, has lost two straight games. The Bulls lost to the 76ers, 97-88, on Saturday at the Wachovia Center.

Eddy Curry scored 24 points and hauled in seven rebounds in the loss for the Bulls, who have dropped six of their last eight games overall. Antonio Davis added 16 points and 10 boards, while Jamal Crawford also chipped in 16 points in the setback.

Chicago is 2-7 in Tuesday games this season. The Bulls are just 12-20 as the host.

This is the fourth and final meeting of the season between the two clubs. Philadelphia has been victorious in the three prior meetings, winning twice at the Wachovia Center and once in Chicago.

The road team has won 10 of the last 16 contests in this series. Philadelphia has won six of its last seven contests with the Bulls.
