The Chicago Bulls will meet the Phoenix Suns in an NBA 2014 game that you can watch live streaming online free from the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix at 9:00 PM ET.
Goran Dragic may be playing through a sore left elbow, but that hasn't stopped him from showing why he could eventually land a spot on the Western Conference All-Star team.
Dragic will try to continue his outstanding stretch as the Suns seek their longest winning streak in almost four years Tuesday night against the visiting Bulls.
Even though they have the sixth-best record in the West, the surprising Suns (29-18) were shut out when All-Star selections were revealed last week.
Dragic has averaged 26.8 points on 63.9 percent shooting -- including 9 for 13 from 3-point range -- over his last four games. He scored 25 while making 10 of 14 from the field as Phoenix won its fifth in a row, 105-95 over visiting Charlotte on Saturday.
The veteran guard may still be invited to his first All-Star Game with injuries likely to force one or more players out of the contest.
"It doesn't matter," Dragic said after not getting selected initially. "I just want to play hard and be with my teammates and make the playoffs."
The Suns certainly appear to be headed in that direction as they go for their longest winning streak since a 10-game run late in the 2009-10 season.
Chicago (23-24) has won four straight in Phoenix, though the last two meetings have gone to overtime. The Bulls also overcame Dragic's 21 points in a 92-87 home win in the first matchup this season on Jan. 7.
Taj Gibson finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds in that contest, while All-Star Joakim Noah added 14 points and 16 boards.
Following a 96-86 win at San Antonio to open a six-game trip, the Bulls have totaled 149 points on 33.1 percent shooting -- including 7 for 36 from 3-point range -- while dropping their last two.
"We played poorly. I am not going to put it on the officials," coach Tom Thibodeau said. "The one thing about this league is that things can change quickly and they have. Just as quickly as can go from good to bad and it can go bad to good. But we have to change this and work our way out of this."
A frustrated Noah had four points and four boards Monday before getting ejected in the third quarter, ending his career-best string of 18 consecutive games with double-digit rebounds.
The Suns, who have averaged 112.0 points overall while winning eight of 10, will try to deal Chicago its longest skid since losing four straight from Dec. 14-19.
The Bulls have won eight of 10 meetings with the Suns.
