In the last week, the Brooklyn Nets have played three solid games against the Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers. All but one — vs. the Lakers — was a loss, heartbreaking unless every waking moment is spent on Tankathon. (The Nets also lost ignominiously to the Charlotte Hornets.) Tonight at the United Center, Brooklyn will be going up another tanking team — there are so many — in the Chicago Bulls. Bulls are a little undermanned. So are the Nets.

Injury Report: Noah Clowney is out with a right ankle sprain. No De’Anthony Melton either as he continues to recover from a left knee ACL tear.
Lonzo Ball is out with a right wrist sprain. Josh Giddey is out with a right ankle sprain. Ayo Dosunmu is out as he recovers from left shoulder surgery.
The Game: The Nets will see an old nemesis once again. Nikola Vucevic recently returned from a calf injury and came off the bench on Monday night. In 24 minutes off the bench, he grabbed 11 rebounds and scored 11 points. No word on if he’ll return to the starting lineup, but he figures to make his presence felt whenever he’s on the court.
