The Bulls have won two straight games against the Nets after Brooklyn opened the series with a win. Brooklyn's offense has gone stagnant, as has been documented by Mike Prada. Can the Nets adjust and generate offense, or is the Bulls' active defense too much for Deron Williams to adjust to? Williams started off the series strong, getting to the rim and finishing, but has been settling for perimeter shots in both Game 2 and Game 3.

Will Memphis tie the series at 2-2, winning both games at home, or will the Clippers take a commanding 3-1 lead back to L.A.?

Capping off the night is Game 3 between the Thunder and Rockets. The Thunder will play their first game since Russell Westbrook's knee injury and will have to adjust against a Rockets team playing their first playoff game in Houston since 2009.
