The Nets and Bulls will both be looking to move up in the playoffs when they meet in Chicago Friday night. The Bulls are three games back of the Pistons while the Nets are four back of the injury-riddled Wizards. The Nets have defeated the Bulls twice so far this season and will be looking to make it five of the last six overall. Andres Nocioni, who wanted to return tonight, will instead sit and Ben Wallace (sinus) is unlikely. The Nets' record against their remaining eight opponents is 10-1.
