How to Watch Chicago Bulls (19-21) @ Brooklyn Nets (11-27) Location: Barclays Center | Brooklyn, New York Tipoff: Friday, Jan. 16, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. CT TV: Chicago Sports Network | Announcers: Adam Amin, Stacey King Radio: WSCR AM 670 | Announcers: Chuck Swirsky, Bill Wennington Betting Odds (

The Chicago Bulls look for a bounce back win on Sunday night against a Brooklyn Nets team they lost to last Friday. In that game, Chicago had poor execution down the stretch, on top of not being able to contain the Nets jumbo frontcourt of Noah Clowney (23 points) and Michael Porter Jr. (26 points). Porter Jr. will be out tonight for Brooklyn, will that provide the advantage that the Bulls need to contain the Nets size?
