On Saturday, the Chicago Bulls (17-20) host the Dallas Mavericks (14-24) at the United Center, and if you’re wondering how to catch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Bulls’ last home game was postponed on Thursday because of condensation on the court, after the Chicago Blackhawks hosted the St. Louis Blues the night before. The contest was eventually halted after more than 90 minutes of attempts to clean the court.

The matchup was set to be the second game of a back-to-back after the Bulls lost to the Detroit Pistons 108-93 on Wednesday. They led by one point entering the fourth quarter, but were outscored 32-16 in the period, their third straight loss.

The Mavericks are coming off a 116-114 loss to the Utah Jazz on Thursday, dropping to 1-1 on their three-game road trip. The group committed 21 turnovers, which led to 25 points, and was outscored 64-46 in the paint and 13-10 in second-chance points.

Rookie Cooper Flagg led the Mavericks with 26 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, Klay Thompson tallied 23 points and Anthony Davis added 21 points and 11 rebounds. Davis suffered ligament damage in his left hand and could be sidelined for several months.
