Here are three storylines to watch:

Bulls again …

Who’s ready for another game against JaKarr Sampson and the Chicago Bulls? Just a few days ago, Sampson, the former Sixer, dropped 29 points in the Sixers' victory over Chicago. Greg Monroe made his debut with the Sixers and Zhaire Smith and Shake Milton got some solid playing time. With the Sixers resting all of their starters, expect the focus to be on the youngsters.

Regular season wrap-up

In game 82 and with the No. 3 seed locked up, tonight is all about staying healthy. Whatever the outcome, the Sixers have finished with their second consecutive 50-win season. The last time the Sixers had back-to-back seasons 50-plus wins was the 1985-86 season.

Furkan Korkmaz

Furkan Korkmaz was back on the court Tuesday night for the first time since he tore his meniscus in mid-February, finishing with two points in seven and a half minutes. It’s going to take a little time for Korkmaz to get himself back to where he was, but even Brett Brown said that his return could prove timely.
