Will Kevin Durant & James Harden Play Tonight? Chicago Bulls vs Brooklyn Nets: Injury Updates, Expected Lineups, and Game Prediction

The Chicago Bulls face off against the Eastern Conference juggernaut Brooklyn Nets tonight at 9:00 AM EST.

The Brooklyn Nets maintained their fantastic run of form in their last game against the Spurs, defeating them 128-116. While they missed Kyrie Irving due to a face injury, they did welcome James Harden back to the lineup. The Beard came off the bench and played 28 minutes for the team, scoring 18 points along with 11 assists and 7 rebounds.

With Harden looking back in top form and all of their superstars healthy, these last two games are the perfect opportunity to finally develop some cohesion in the team.

The Bulls have been unstoppable lately, winning four of their last five games. But this form will certainly won’t have any impact in the play-in tournament as they are mathematically out of making the post-season. But a fit Bulls side are finally showing what they are capable of. It will be interesting to see how a fully fit Bulls side perform in the next season.

Predictions

The Nets are in blazing form with three victories and are finally getting fit before the post-season.

Given the form they are in and the fact that all their superstars are finally fit, the Nets are clear favorites in this matchup.
