The Philadelphia 76ers are in bounce-back mode after losing as 10.5-point home favorites to the Bulls, 108-104 on Monday to snap a six-game winning streak.

The Wolves beat the 76ers at Target Center last month, 112-99 as seven-point favorites. However, last season's league MVP Joel Embiid sat out that loss as Philadelphia shot 7-of-32 from three-point range.

The Los Angeles Clippers dropped 151 points on the Pacers on Monday night, marking their eighth consecutive win. James Harden scored 35 points for L.A., who has covered four straight games.

The Clips face the Dallas Mavericks tonight, who return home off a 130-104 loss at Denver on Monday. The Mavs have been up and down at American Airlines Center with a 7-5 mark, while losing to Minnesota last time out at home.

The Mavericks and Clippers have split a pair of matchups this season with the home team winning each time. Dallas blasted L.A. on November 10 as short favorites, 144-126, but the Clips got revenge 15 days later in a 107-88 victory.
