The Brooklyn Nets (14-37) are trying to find their way back to playing the way they did in the month of December when they were playing like one of the best teams in the NBA on both ends of the floor. Brooklyn made some moves prior to last week’s trade deadline and with the Chicago Bulls (24-29) coming to town, the Nets may get to see two of their trade acquisitions get some playing time. If you’re wondering how you can watch all the action live, you’ve come to the right place!

The Nets come into this game following a 127-113 win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday in which Brooklyn raced out to a 26-point lead to end the first quarter and never looked back. Forward Michael Porter Jr. led the way for the Nets with his 23 points and six rebounds while center Day’Ron Sharpe had one of his best games of the season as he dropped 19 points and nine rebounds in 20 minutes off the bench.

The Bulls enter this matchup after a 136-120 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday in which Chicago stayed within striking distance until the fourth quarter where Denver blew the game open by way of an 39-16 rally in the final period. Forward Matas Buzelis led the team in scoring with 21 points while also chipping in eight rebounds and guard Collin Sexton had 17 points and four assists in 29 minutes off the bench.
