NBA -- Bulls back home for a four-game home stand

CHICAGO -- After a five-game, 12-day road trip that ended with two wins and three losses, the Chicago Bulls are back home for a four-game swing beginning with another tussle with the Milwaukee Bucks, who are the suprising Central Division leaders with a 6-5 won-lost slate.
It's the second Bulls-Bucks tussle in three nights with Chicago scoring a 93-86 win at the BMO Harris Bradley Center last Saturday night.
After dealing with the Bucks, the 6-6 Bulls host the dangerous Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, November 28, at the United Center. Despite not having superstar Dirk Nowitzki (injured knee) since the beginning of the season, the Mavs are holding their own with a 7-7 record. Dirk will begin engaging in physical activity by mid-December in the hopes of returning to the lineup in a few weeks.
After the Mavs, the Bulls then tackle the Philadelphia 76ers. The Sixers are playing sans center Andrew Bynum, whose bad knees have sidelined him indefinitely, But the Doug Collins coached Philly is thriving at 8-6 in the tough Atlantic Division paced by the 9-3 New York Knicks and the 8-4 Brooklyn Nets. Jrue Holiday is the unquestioned leader of the Sixers as the point guard is averaging 18.6 points and 9.2 assists per in 14 outings.
The Bulls then close out their four-game United Center string with a collision with hated rivals the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, December 4. Deemed as serious contenders in the East, the Pacers are without their top scorer Danny Granger and are a disappointing 6-8. (Kristin Haas)
