Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic will miss Monday's matchup against the 76ers after being listed as questionable with hamstring tightness.
New Bulls signee Tristan Thompson will get the start and matchup against Joel Embiid, who's been playing at an MVP-caliber level of late.
Embiid is averaging 30.2 points and 12.3 rebounds in his last 10 games and scored 40 points against a healthy Vucevic and the Bulls last time they matched up.
Chicago will also likely use fifth-year center Tony Bradley in attempt to slow Embiid down.
The 76ers are 7.5-point favorites at home and the over/under is 232, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
