The San Antonio Spurs and the Chicago Bulls are playing on Tuesday night live from the United Center and the game will be streaming from the NBA League Pass website and comes on at 8 pm ET and has two playoff teams matching up against each other and while Derrick Rose is out, Tim Duncan takes over the star power for the game with Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer.

The Spurs come into the game after a dominating win against the Orlando Magic and now they are facing off against the Bulls before playing against the Portland Trail Blazers and that will be a home game. Tony Parker returned from his injuries and scored 30 points against the Magic, while Tim Duncan added 10 rebounds and Manu Ginobili led with five assists to give the Big three their leads in the top three stat categories for the game and that is what the Spurs will need going forward to make another NBA finals appearance.

The team comes in as the best team in the west and they have been battling with the Oklahoma City Thunder all season and now it looks like it will come down to the wire to see who ends up as the number one seed with home court advantage. The team comes in with 46 wins and they are ranked in the top 10 in scoring with over 104 points per game and they are sixth ranked in points allowed, putting up 98 allowed per game this season. The team is also ranked in the top two in assists per game and right now they are at 17th in rebounding.

The Bulls have been playing all season without Derrick Rose and while he could return by the playoffs, that is very unlikely and now the team comes in looking to stay right in the middle of the east as the postseason schedule gets close. The team comes in after a nice win against the Heat and they won in overtime against Miami and that saw DJ Augustin score 22 points, while Joakim Noah added 12 rebounds and seven assists.

The Bulls come into the game scoring 93 points per game to rank last in the league and they play the Houston Rockets next at home and the team is also ranked first in team defense by points allowed, allowing just 92 per game and that is one reason why they have been playing so well. The team is ranked ninth in the league in rebounding behind Noah and he has been the best player for the team this season and deserves some MVP considerations as well.
