New York Knicks – Chicago Bulls / NBA – After two matches in Chicago (and two narrow wins by the Bulls), these two teams meet for the first time this season in New York. Both teams do not achieve any commendable results, so that both would do well to win

New York Knicks
The Knicks played before the match with the Bulls at the Mavs and they scored a 100-96 win. Thus, they stopped the series of three defeats, but in the last nine matches they won just two victories. In these nine matches, they even played away seven times, so they certainly missed home matches in their MSG. They have played twice with the Bulls in the current season and narrowly defeated in both matches (102: 104 and 87:92). The Knicks have the record 19-21 and in front of their fans, they recorded 15 wins and 7 defeats.
They have to deal with the injuries of Hardaway Jr and Beasley, while Noah still does not even have the nearly ideal game form. They have decided to sign a contract with the experienced Guard Jack, for which he has thanked him with the decisive throw against the Mavs. The team depends most on Porzingis (23.7 points and 6.8 rebounds per match), while Kanter has a double-double average. The fans find the performance of veteran Beasley lately brilliant as he scores an average of 12 points and 5 rebounds. Guard Lee has scored 43 free throws in a row and only one is missing to catch up with Chris Duhon’s 2008-09 Knicks record.

Chicago Bulls
When Mirotic returned to the Bulls’ lineup, the whole team looked like newborn and recorded victories in a row. In the last two weeks, they have been in a crisis in terms of the result and they have lost five times in six matches, with the Knicks arriving in a series of three defeats in a row. Encouraging fans of the Bulls is the return and debut of LaVine’s Bulls (joined by Wolves and Dunn while Butler and Gibson left). LaVine was scheduled for Saturday’s match with the Pistons in the lineup.
The Bulls have a record of 14 wins and 27 defeats and outside Chicago recorded five wins and sixteen defeats. In the last two matches with the Knicks, they took victories and, interestingly, in both Guard Dunn was decisive with free throws. The Bulls then stopped the Knicks’ outside throws, but were very relaxed in the final stages of the matches. Right now, the story about the possible trade that Mirotic is involved in is again up-to-date and supposedly Utah Jazz is most interested. This obviously indicates that the Bulls want to focus more on the young Markkanen.
