(Sports Network) - A pair of teams looking for answers after the break square off tonight, as the New Jersey Nets host the Chicago Bulls at the Izod Center.

New Jersey has been busy the past few weeks trying to deal star guard Jason Kidd to the Dallas Mavericks, and the transaction finally came to fruition on Tuesday afternoon.

Kidd was sent to the Mavericks, along with forwards Malik Allen and Antoine Wright, in exchange for guard Devin Harris, swingmen Maurice Ager and Trenton Hassell, center DeSagana Diop, forward Keith Van Horn, first- round draft picks in 2008 and 2010, and cash considerations reportedly said to be about $3 million. Harris is questionable for Wednesday's game against Chicago with an ankle injury. He missed his last 10 games as a Maverick.

The Nets three-game win streak came to an end before the All-Star break with a 109-91 loss at Toronto last Wednesday. Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson each had 15 points to lead the Nets, who have won two straight at home and are 12-15 at the Meadowlands this season.

Chicago, meanwhile, put the brakes on a two-game slide before the break with a 99-92 win over the hapless Miami Heat last Thursday at the United Center.

Kirk Hinrich scored 24 points to pace Chicago, while Joe Smith chipped in 19 points and 11 rebounds. Thabo Sefolosha ended with 17 points and 12 boards for the shorthanded Bulls, who played without Ben Gordon (sprained right wrist), Ben Wallace (death in family) and Luol Deng (left Achilles tendinitis).

Gordon and Deng are questionable for Wednesday, while Wallace is listed as probable against the Nets.

The Bulls are 10-17 away from the Windy City this season.

Wednesday's matchup between Chicago and New Jersey is the second of three matchups this season. The Nets handed Chicago a 112-103 overtime loss on October 31 at the Izod Center, and are slated to visit the Bulls on March 18.

New Jersey has won four of the last five meetings with Chicago, which has lost 12 straight and 15 of its last 16 trips to the Meadowlands.
