The Brooklyn Nets (4-16) face the Chicago Bulls (9-11) on Wednesday, December 3, at 8:00 PM ET at the United Center, with both teams seeking momentum.
Brooklyn comes off a 116-103 win over Charlotte, snapping a four-game skid, while Chicago enters on a four-game losing streak after falling 125-120 at Orlando.
Brooklyn will be without Haywood Highsmith, recovering from right knee surgery, Cam Thomas (left hamstring strain), and Terance Mann (right rib soreness). E.J. Liddell and Nolan Traore remain unavailable due to G League assignments.
Michael Porter Jr. leads the Nets with 24.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, while Nic Claxton contributes 13.6 points and 7.5 rebounds.
The Bulls have multiple key players sidelined. Trae Jones (left ankle sprain), Lachlan Olbrich (left calf contusion), Julian Phillips (illness), and Patrick Williams (left wrist sprain) are listed as probable.
Coby White (left calf strain), Zach Collins (left scaphoid fracture), Kevin Huerter (left hamstring strain), Isaac Okoro (left lumbar radiculopathy), Jalen Smith (left hamstring strain), and Dalen Terry (left calf strain) are questionable or doubtful.
