The Brooklyn Nets and the Chicago Bulls engage in a contest with two teams looking for consistency. The Nets have competed well in games, but they could not get the job done and thus lost four of their last five games, covering the spread in three of them. Chicago, meanwhile, is making the most of its last five with three wins, fighting back every time in an underdog situation. With injuries plaguing both squads and rhythm still missing, this one will likely come down to a few stops on defense and shooting percentage. Expect a close fight at the United Center.
