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

TV:

NBC Sports Chicago

Radio:

WSCR 670-AM

Outlook:

Sure, it's a little strange that the Bulls play the Nets three times this year and two of those games are in the last week of the regular season. But it's a chance for the Bulls to finish below Brooklyn in the standings with another loss. The teams have identical 27-53 records after the Nets pounded the Bulls 124-96 at the United Center on Saturday. Brooklyn fell 1 short of the NBA record for 3-pointers in a game, hitting 24 of 55 on the night. Quincy Acy hit 6 from long range and Allen Crabbe 5. Lauri Markkanen is expected to return to action for the Bulls after sitting out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday.

Next: Detroit Pistons at the United Center on Wednesday, 7 p.m.
