Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah will be a game-time decision Tuesday when his team attempts to avoid elimination at the hands of the eighth-seeded Philadelphia 76ers.

Noah suffered a sprained left ankle in the third quarter of Game 3 and sat out Sunday's Game 4 loss.

The Bulls have dropped three straight games in this best-of-seven series after winning the opener. If they lose on Tuesday they will become just the fifth No. 1 seed to fall to a No. 8 seed in NBA history.

Chicago is also without star point guard Derrick Rose, who was lost for the rest of the season after suffering a torn ligament in his left knee in Game 1.
