New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls Preview

New York Knicks

The New York Knicks have been among the top teams in the East this season, riding a strong run and looking to secure a top-three seed. Key players such as Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns have been prolific, Towns recently putting up massive scoring numbers, which have been vital to the Knicks offensive output. On defense, the Knicks aim to tighten up after conceding too many three-point opportunities, a weakness opponents have exploited in previous matchups. The Knicks are coming off a 149-148 win in OT against the Atlanta Hawks and are currently on a two-game winning streak. Towns scored 44 points and Jalen Brunson made the go-ahead jumper with 11.1 seconds left in overtime in a thrilling game before the All-Star break.

Knicks Probable Starting Lineup – Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Karl Anthony Towns

Chicago Bulls

The Chicago Bulls are coming off a 110-128 loss against the Detroit Pistons in their last outing. This is their fourth loss in their past five matches and are currently on a four-game losing streak. The Bulls had a rough time shooting 3-pointers, making 9 of 41 going 10 for 47. They are in the midst of a rebuilding phase and have struggled to consistently score. Coby White and Josh Giddey lead the offensive charge, and the Bulls interior presence, with Nikola Vucevic anchoring the boards have been crucial.
