The Chicago Bulls will host the Brooklyn Nets for an Eastern Conference showdown on Thursday in the NBA. The Bulls are currently 10th in the East standings with a 27-38 record, while Brooklyn is 13th at 22-43 after losses in eight of its last nine games.

The Nets are currently 12-22 on the road with a point differential of -6, while the Bulls have a 4-6 record in their last ten games at home. This is the third and final meeting of the season as both teams split going 1-0 at home. Chicago won by 26 points and Brooklyn by 8.

Point-spread: Nets (+2.5) Over/Under: 230.5 Nets: OUT: Noah Clowney (ankle), De'Anthony Melton (knee), Tosan Evbuomwan (G League), Tyson Etienne (G League), and Dariq Whitehead (G League).

The Chicago Bulls hope Josh Giddey returns from a sprained right ankle during their season-long six-game trip.

Josh Giddey will become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. The 22-year-old is yet to agree terms on a contract extension with the Chicago Bulls. However, his recent production means the front office is expected to keep him around for years to come.
