Nets Look To Build On Three-Game Streak
The Brooklyn Nets play host to the Chicago Bulls at Barclays Center on Saturday afternoon.

The Nets (46-24) have won six of their last 10 games, including their last three in a row. They will look to keep rolling and add to their, 26-8, home record, as they face the second game of a three-game home stand that will close out their season. James Harden returned to action in the Nets' most recent contest and finished with 18 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds, two steals and two blocks, in 25 minutes of action. Kevin Durant continues to play great, averaging 27.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 blocks, in 33 minutes per game, while Kyrie Irving is averaging 27.2 points, 6.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. The Nets are averaging 118.7 points per game, which is second most in the league, and they are shooting a league-best 49.3 percent from the field. On the other hand, they are giving up an average of 114.5 points per game, which is eighth most in the league.

Meanwhile, the Bulls (30-40) sit 11th place in the East and have been eliminated from playoff contention, despite coming off a win in their most recent contest. They will look to stay strong as they face their final road game of the season, with a chance to add to their, 16-19, road record. Zach LaVine leads the Bulls averaging 27.4 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists, in 35 minutes per game. Nikola Vucevic is averaging 22.0 points, 11.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists, while Coby White is averaging 15.2 points, 4.7 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game. The Bulls are shooting an average of 47.7 percent from the field, which is eighth best in the league, while they are scoring an average of 110.9 points per game. However, they need to do a better job of taking care of the ball, as they are giving up 14.6 turnovers per game, which is fourth most in the league.
