The Knicks are coming into this game with a 45-31 record this season and they are currently sitting in 5th place in the Eastern Conference with a 3 game lead over the Heat who are in the 1st spot for the play-in tournament. They are coming off of a win against the Kings in their last game and they used a lot of energy to come back down double digits in the 2nd half and win the game by 10+ points. Now they are going on the road again after playing 1 game at home, but the urgency will not be there against this Bulls team that is under .500 since the Knicks have a bit of a cushion now. The Knicks are also in a bad spot here since they are playing this game on a B2B and it is also their 3rd game in the last 4 nights. They are going up against a Bulls team that is 36-40 this season but they are actually sitting in 9th place in the Eastern Conference and holding down a spot in the play-in tournament. They are not at risk of dropping out of the play-in tournament with the lead they have over 11th place, but they have not been very consistent this season and will be hungry to gain some steam going into the tournament. They have won 2 of their last 4 games but they have some good wins against the Pacers and the Timberwolves in that span. The Bulls are also extra rested here, having last played on Monday, and they have won more of their games at home this season than they have on the road. The Bulls are also coming off of a loss at home against the Hawks in their last one so they will be hungry to bounce back in this game with the Knicks in an awful spot themselves here. The Bulls will win this game at home.
