Bulls game day

Posted April 13, 2015 1:00 am

Brooklyn Nets at the Barclays Center, 6:30 p.m.

TV: Comcast SportsNet

Radio: ESPN 1000-AM

Outlook: The Nets have put together a nice playoff push, going 12-4 in their 16 games before Sunday's 96-73 loss at Milwaukee. C Brook Lopez, sporting a new bushier hairstyle, has won the last two Eastern Conference player of the week awards, averaging 25.1 points and 9.9 rebounds over the last 10 games. PF Thaddeus Young (14.1 ppg) has been a nice addition, arriving from Minnesota in the Kevin Garnett trade. SF Joe Johnson (14.5 ppg) and PG Deron Williams (13.2) are below their career averages, but Brooklyn has gotten support from guys such as SG Bojan Bogdanovich, who went 6-for-6 from 3-point range in Friday's win over Washington. The Bulls are 2-1 against the Nets this season.

Next: Atlanta Hawks at the United Center, 7 p.m. Wednesday
