Cameron Johnson and Coby White are playing well heading into Sunday’s Brooklyn-Chicago game, while Cole Anthony, Harrison Barnes and their teams are on a roll.

Johnson put up a double-double with 19 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals Saturday in the Brooklyn Nets’ 112–97 home win over Miami to end a three-game losing streak, with White and the Bulls playing at Brooklyn at 7:30 on Sunday.

Johnson gave the Nets energy early with 12 first-quarter points.

“I was trying to be in the right positions, stay aggressive,” he said. “I think an emphasis today was to come out and make a statement from the beginning and make them have to climb an uphill battle.”

Day’Ron Sharpe contributed four points, four rebounds and two blocks in 12 minutes.

White had 14 points, three rebounds and three rebounds Friday in Chicago’s 121-108 loss to Toronto that eliminated the Bulls from contention in the In-Season Tournament at 0–3.

Barnes scored 18 points and two 3-pointers with four rebounds and two assists in Sacramento’s 124–111 Friday victory at Minnesota. The In-Season Tournament win clinched a spot in the quarterfinals as the Kings improved to 3–0 in Group C.
