NBA schedule: Midwest hosts 2 marquee games among 10 scheduled for Saturday

The Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics are all in action on Saturday night, but the marquee game will feature the tilt between the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago bulls.

USA TODAY Sports

Saturday night is full of NBA action, with 10 games slated to take place and showcase some of the best teams in the league.

The marquee game of the evening will take place at the United Center, where the Chicago Bulls will play host to the Brooklyn Nets in an Eastern Conference tilt. Both teams are 12-9 and battling for top billing within their respective divisions. The strong play of the Bulls is especially inspiring since Chicago continues to play without their leader and most valuable player, Derrick Rose.

In the nightcap, Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers will go for their ninth straight win and try to set their place in team history in the process. They'll have their work cut out for them, though, as they will run into a Milwaukee Bucks team that has won four straight and is playing its best basketball of the young season.

The full slate of games scheduled to take place is as follows:

All times ET, home team listed second:

Orlando Magic vs. Charlotte Hornets, 7:30 p.m.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Chicago Bulls, 8 p.m.

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Milwaukee Bucks, 8:30 p.m.
