The Bulls enter Thursday's game against the Toronto Raptors (7 p.m. CT) with a 29-40 record and hanging on by a thread in the Eastern Conference play-in race. Trailing the 10th-place Washington Wizards by 2.5 games with three to play, one more Bulls loss or Wizards win would eliminate the Bulls.
The Nets currently own a 1.5-game advantage on the Bucks for the second seed in the East (one in the loss column), so it will be interesting to see if either opponent rests key players down the stretch. James Harden, who didn't play in the Nets' 115-107 win at the United Center Tuesday, returned from a lengthy injury absence to post 18 points and 11 assists in 26 minutes in a 128-116 win over the Spurs on Wednesday.
