Key Storylines

Nets Seeking a Road Upset

The Brooklyn Nets head to Chicago looking to turn things around after a rough stretch on the road. Sitting outside of the top six in the Eastern Conference standings, they need every win possible to avoid the Play-In Tournament.

Bulls Defending Home Court

Chicago has been solid at home this season, using their defensive tenacity and fast-paced offense to grind out key victories. With playoff hopes still alive, the Bulls will look to capitalize against a Nets squad that has struggled defensively.

Pace and Shooting Will Be Key

Both teams rely on perimeter shooting and transition play to dictate games. Brooklyn’s three-point shooting, led by their star guards, will be a major factor against a Bulls defense that can be inconsistent guarding the perimeter.
