Harden finished with a season-low five points in Monday’s 109-105 double-overtime loss to the Bulls at the Wells Fargo Center. He was just 2 of 14 shooting on the night — including his six three-point attempts. Harden also committed five turnovers. He did manage to finish with a game-high 12 assists and seven rebounds.

Harden will be missed if he doesn’t play on Wednesday. Excelling as a facilitator, he leads the NBA in assists at 10.8 per game.

This isn’t the first injury Harden has faced. The 10-time All-Star missed 14 games earlier this season with a strained tendon in his right foot.

Sixers forward P.J. Tucker is also listed as questionable. He has missed the past two games after twisting his left ankle against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday.

Meanwhile, Chicago’s Javonte Green is probable after recovering from right knee surgery. Alex Caruso (sore left midfoot) is questionable. Lonzo Ball (left knee surgery) and Justin Lewis (right knee ACL reconstruction surgery) are out.

The Sixers are looking to avenge Monday’s 109-105 double-overtime loss to the Bulls at the Wells Fargo Center. The setback snapped their eight-game winning streak. The Sixers are third in the Eastern Conference with a 48-23 record. They’re three games behind the first-place Milwaukee Bucks with 11 remaining. The Bulls (34-37) are in 10th place. Chicago has won three straight and five of its last six games. Two of the Bulls’ last three wins were in double-overtime.
