The Nets barely made it out of their Friday matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves with a win, however things are now heating up. The real test for them will be against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. This challenge will not only test this team’s character, but it will test their heart, considering this will be on the back end of a back-to-back.
Chicago is currently the second seed in the East behind Brooklyn. If the Nets want send a message to the league, here is their chance. The Bulls are among the elite teams in the association and they already have the Nets head coach Steve Nash’s squad’s number, defeating them in the first meeting. It’s time to even things up.
Brooklyn will have to settle again not by having the services of Kyrie Irving (ineligible) and Joe Harris (ankle). Similarly, Chicago won’t have Patrick Williams (wrist), Coby White (COVID) and Javonte Green (health and safety protocols).
