Brooklyn Nets vs. Chicago Bulls

Brooklyn Nets vs. Chicago Bulls / NBA – The Nets must win this match, but one thing does not go in their favour and that is that the Bulls are also entering this match with a desire to win, because they have not given up on the third position for which they are fighting with Toronto. Especially now when Rose and Butler are again in the team. Begins: 14.04.2015 – 01:30 CET
Brooklyn Nets

The Nets are fighting a fierce battle for the eight (perhaps even seventh) position in the East. They are certainly not thinking about who to choose in the first round, because they want to extend the season and get in the playoffs. Thus everything is possible but to get to that position that leads in the playoffs they need victories. As things stand now, their biggest competition will be the pacers a team that is in great form, while Miami lost its track and they need a big surprise to come to eight position. Besides, the nets could also fight for the seventh place with Boston, but the question is who would be an easier opponent in the playoffs, Atlanta (if they are eight) or Cleveland (if they end up seventh).

Like we already said, their primary goal is get in the playoffs and thus save the season from which much more was expected. This team will certainly face many changes during the summer, in the organization (there are even some rumours about the sale of the club), and in the team. They can only win this match against the Bulls, because of they lose they would give additional chance to the pacers and thus create additional pressure for themselves. If the Bulls did not need a victory, it would be much easier, but now they will have the complete team of the Bulls which are in a mini series of victories.

Probable lineups Brooklyn Nets: Williams, Brown, Johnson, Young, Lopez
Chicago Bulls

The Bulls are coming to Brooklyn with two consecutive victories which leave them in the game for third position. Toronto is right next to them, but the Raptors also have a series of victories, so we will not know who will be third in the east till the very end. That is why the Bulls must record all victories till the end of the regular part of the season. They currently have the effect of 48 wins and 32 loses, and besides this match with the Nest, they will play one match against Atlanta, which will probably have a changed lineup and be very relaxed considering that they do not need to win. But the Bulls need to win against the Nets and they will probably give their best to defeat the Hawks. Nets have a very strong top five while the Bulls finally have complete team and they will be able to resist the hosts.

Rose is finally on the court, and even though it was announced that he would only ply 20 minutes, the importance of the last match dictated more minutes. His contribution is enormous, because his very appearance in the tram helps his teammates, because the opponent’s defence must pay a lot more attention to him. Butler has also recovered, which means that their guard line is complete, so Gasol and Noah should be much more relaxed. The bench is now stronger, because they have more solutions, and they can only hope that they will not have any more problems with victories.

Probable lineups Chicago Bulls: Rose, Butler, Dunleavy, Gasol, Noah
Brooklyn Nets vs. Chicago Bulls PICK
