The Bulls will try to continue their home success over a Sacramento Kings team that's attempting to win consecutive games for the first time in 11 weeks Tuesday night.
After snapping a three-game skid with a 107-72 rout of New Orleans on Saturday, Chicago (32-20) had a more difficult time salvaging a 3-3 trip with Sunday's 98-97 win over lowly Orlando.

The Bulls led by as many as 16, but needed to rally from six down with less than a minute left before going ahead on Pau Gasol's rebound dunk with 9.4 seconds to play.
The 14-year veteran is the only member of the Chicago Bulls who has been a star contributor on a team that won an NBA championship. So as the Bulls creep closer to the postseason and try to find their way in the middle of an emotional up-and-down season, one that reached another high point during Sunday night's last-minute comeback 98-97 win over the Orlando Magic, Gasol offered a somber reminder for his teammates over the final 30 regular-season games.

The Kings (18-32) beat a Bulls team missing Gasol and Derrick Rose 103-88 on Nov. 20, their third win out of four in the series. Though they've dropped four straight at Chicago, the last three were decided by seven or fewer points.
Looking to win back-to-back contests for the first time since a three-game run Nov. 20-25, Sacramento has won twice in 13 games while continuing to play amid rumors that George Karl could replace interim coach Tyrone Corbin at the All-Star break.
