(Sportsbooks) - The
Chicago Bulls play the third of a six-game road trip as they visit the Seattle SuperSonics tonight at KeyArena.
This is the second and final meeting of the campaign between the clubs. On December 11, Ben Gordon scored 27 points to lead the Bulls to an easy 123-96 win over the SuperSonics at the United Center.
The Bulls have won three in a row in the series. Chicago has won two of its last three at Seattle.
Chicago is 0-2 on the swing. On Saturday, Ron Artest scored 28 points, including a key dunk in the waning seconds, to lead the Sacramento Kings past the Bulls, 105-101, at ARCO Arena.
Gordon scored a game-high 33 points for the Bulls, who have lost four of their last five contests overall. Kirk Hinrich collected 18 points, while rookie Joakim Noah netted 10 in defeat.
The Bulls are 8-15 on the road this season. They will also visit Portland, Golden State and Utah on the road trip.
The SuperSonics attempt to extend their season-best winning streak to four games as they conclude a seven-game homestand. Rookie phenom Kevin Durant scored 21 points, including the go-ahead three-pointer in the last minute, and New York's Nate Robinson's missed three-pointer in the final seconds capped an 0-for-9 night from the field as Seattle edged the Knicks, 86-85, Saturday at KeyArena.
Chris Wilcox scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the SuperSonics, who have won three straight for the first time this season. Nick Collison had nine points and 12 rebounds off the bench for Seattle, which improved to 8-16 at home this season.
Seattle will visit Sacramento on Wednesday at ARCO Arena and Phoenix on Friday at US Airways Center.
On the injury front for the SuperSonics, rookie forward Jeff Green (sprained left ankle) and Wally Szczerbiak (sprained right ankle) are both questionable.
