Nets have done a good job defending Nikola Vucevic the first two games. Does the absence of Claxton and Aldridge change that? – 10:08 PM

Greetings from Chicago. Nets-Bulls tips shortly. To me, this might be the biggest game of Brooklyn’s season to date. The big three against the Eastern Conference leaders. The Nets have yet to beat a top-four team in either conference. If it doesn’t happen tonight when will it? – 9:54 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Nets starting Harden, Irving, Durant, Edwards and Sharpe against the Bulls. First career start for DayDay. Nets hoping he makes the Bulls go NightNight. – 9:41 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis
Harden, Irving, Durant, Edwards and Sharpe will start for the #Nets. It’s the first-career start for Day’Ron Sharpe and the second for Kessler Edwards, both rookies. Sharpe is the 16th Net to start this season, three shy of the team record. #NBA #Bulls9:40 PM

Bulls guards Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu have built a strong friendship and a strong presence off the bench, but will it matter come the Feb. 10 trade deadline?

Nets coach Steve Nash said there won’t be any minutes restrictions on Kyrie Irving or James Harden against Bulls – 8:38 PM

Steve Nash said it’s possible Nic Claxton plays tomorrow, but it’s still to be determined. – 8:37 PM

Billy Donovan remembers watching Dr. J out on Long Island with the Nets as a kid. Lived 10 minutes from the Nassau Coliseum. – 8:29 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Donovan said stamina is the key because of all three Nets stars ability to pass. Adds just because the Bulls might be able to stop them off once, doesn’t mean it will work twice. – 8:27 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Billy Donovan said the Bulls are going to need team defense and know where the help is at all times when guarding the big three. – 8:27 PM
Jamal Collier @JamalCollier
Alex Caruso is still in health and safety protocols and Bulls coach Billy Donovan anticipates he’ll miss Fridays game against the Warriors too – 8:25 PM
Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef
Nothing much new on Alex Caruso’s status — Bulls are still waiting on his cycling numbers to rise to point of him being cleared from protocols — but Billy Donovan did say at this point he doesn’t expect Caruso to be back for Friday’s game vs. Warriors – 8:25 PM
Mike McGraw @McGrawDHSports
Donovan says he doesn’t think Caruso will be available Friday vs GSW, still in protocols. #Bulls8:24 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
Billy Donovan said he doesn’t expect Alex Caruso to play Friday vs. Warriors. – 8:24 PM
Brad Townsend @townbrad
Not a good offensive 1st quarter for Mavs, 35% shooting, but bigger reason they trail 30-21 is their defense isn’t measuring up to recent efforts. Knicks are shooting 50%.
Mavs will need to follow script of win over Bulls, when they allowed 32 in the first and 67 rest of way. – 8:12 PM
