New York Knicks: news and form
11th in the East with 33 wins and 42 losses on the clock, the Knicks are seeing their playoff dreams gradually slip away, while Atlanta, 10th and first team to qualify for the play-in tournament, has 5 success in advance. Victorious in their last 3 games, Tom Thibodeau’s players will want to continue to maintain hope and will count on the support of their public to do so, while the New York franchise is far from shining at home with 15 successes in 36 matches played at Madison Square Garden. In great offensive trouble this season, New York is the 4th worst offense in the league, averaging 106.3 points per game, but seems more comfortable on its side of the field and is thus the 7th defense in the NBA with 106 .8 points conceded per game.
Knicks: players to watch
His team’s top scorer, Julius Randle seems to be in good shape lately and has averaged 22.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 4.9 assists over his last 10 games, which surely partly explains the good form of the Knicks. . The strong winger is well supported by RJ Barrett, the young winger compiling 19.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists this season in 34.5 minutes spent on average on the floor, but also by Evan Fournier, the French player being efficient with 14.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 73 games played with the Knicks.

Chicago Bulls: news and form
Opposite, Chicago is in a delicate position: if the Bulls seem to have revived after their victory against Cleveland (94-98), the Illinois franchise is closely followed in the standings, while Toronto, 6th, does not has only one victory behind, while Cleveland, 6th, is 2 lengths away. Under penalty of competing in the play-in tournament, Billy Donovan’s players must therefore continue and will try to perfect their away record, Chicago having conceded defeat in 21 of its 38 trips this season. Struggling on their side of the field, the Bulls will try to build confidence against a New York team far from comfortable offensively, while Billy Donovan’s players are only the 16th defense NBA, conceding 111.2 points per game. They aren’t doing much better on offense, however, with Chicago scoring 111.6 points per game, 11th overall in the league.
Bulls: players to follow
The DeMar DeRozan – Zach LaVine duo should shine again during this meeting, despite a slight drop in speed. This is indeed the case of DeMar DeRozan, the American strong winger with 24 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists in his last 10 games, while on the contrary the rear has taken over with 25 .8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 5 assists over this interval. Nikola Vucevic will also play an important role, the Serbian pivot being essential in all areas of the game with 18 points, 11.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists on average in 33.5 minutes spent on the floor.

Relaunched after the victory over the Cavaliers, the Bulls should take advantage of a New York team that is too irregular. We do not see the Knicks intervening and a victory for Chicago seems likely.

The Knicks are in difficulty on the offensive level and should therefore not shine in attack during this meeting, especially since the Bulls are back to the wall and risk throwing all their forces into battle. A low point total would therefore not be a surprise.
