What to Know

Tonight, the Chicago Bulls are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 107.8 points per game. They are on the road again tonight and play against the Brooklyn Nets at 7:30 p.m. ET at Barclays Center. Brooklyn will need to watch out since Chicago has now posted big point totals in their last 50 contests.

The Bulls fought the good fight in their overtime matchup against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 115-106. Chicago lost to Indiana 115-106. Chicago got a solid performance out of small forward Chandler Hutchison, who had 21 points; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn was able to grind out a solid win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, winning 125-115. It was another big night for point guard Spencer Dinwiddie, who had 28 points and six assists.

Brooklyn's win lifted them to 20-26 while Chicago's loss dropped them down to 19-31. We'll see if the Nets can repeat their recent success or if the Bulls bounce back and reverse their fortune.
