Starting Lineups, April 25: Mirotic and Holiday play, Afflalo returns, Udrih out
The arrival of the weekend brings with it back-to-back quadruple-headers, with the first set of four tipping off Saturday in Brooklyn.
The Nets, who have played the top-seeded Hawks surprisingly tough through two games, will look to finally get over the hump and steal a game, the Bucks and Pelicans will look to avoid sweeps at the hands of the Bulls and Warriors, respectively, while the Trail Blazers will hope their raucous home crowd can get them back into their first-round series with the Grizzlies.
