The Brooklyn Nets have only seen their trio of Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden play seven games together on the year. However, Nets head coach Steve Nash said that he expects the trio to all play on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, according to Marc Stein of the New York Times. 

After all three have missed time with various issues, the concerns of their chemistry and ability to gel together during the playoffs was a questionable one. After acquiring Harden from the Houston Rockets in the blockbuster trade of the season, they have shown promise when they all play together.

The Nets are fighting and trying to pry away the top seed in the Eastern Conference from the Philadelphia 76ers and are just one game ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks. Although, getting their stars back is a breath of fresh air not just for Nash, but for the Brooklyn fans who had long been worrying about how this team would perform come playoff time.

The Nets are surely the favorites to come out of the East, and could very well walk away with an NBA championship if they figure out a way to work together on the fly. For now, the Nets are the odds-on favorites to win the title ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers, who are also getting their stars back just in time for the playoffs.
