The Bulls have one of the "tough" games on their schedule tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. On the other hand, they lost a supposedly "easy" game Tuesday night to the Charlotte Bobcats, so they probably shouldn't take anything for granted.
↵↵6 p.m., CSN Chicago: NHL, Capitals at Islanders. The Islanders haven't won a playoff series since 1993 and haven't been in the playoffs at all in four years. But yes, they still exist.
↵↵6 p.m., NHL Network: Penguins at Devils.
↵↵7 p.m., TNT: NBA, Bulls vs. Mavericks at the United Center. No local TV for this one -- a TNT exclusive. (You decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.)
↵↵8 p.m., ESPN: College basketball, Indiana at No. 17 Wisconsin.
↵↵9:30 p.m., TNT: Clippers at Trail Blazers. The second half of TNT's NBA doubleheader features the rookie many are talking about -- Blake Griffin. (His team, not so much.)
