Mike Brown is on the verge of taking New York to a 50th win of the campaign when it hosts age-old rival Chicago on Friday night. The Knicks have already played the Bulls three times this season and are targeting a hat-trick after winning the last two of those encounters.
Chicago has long since known it wouldn’t be joining this season’s playoffs, and the team’s current five-loss streak has only served to underline why that is. Billy Donovan’s side can, however, still move above Milwaukee to finish third in the Central Division with the right run of results.
The Bulls are 11-26 on the road so far this campaign, which is a bad omen going up against a New York side that hasn’t lost at Madison Square Garden in a month. The Knicks boast one of the sternest home records in the league after going 27-9 at MSG, where Chicago has won just one of its last five visits.
Jalen Brunson is listed as day-to-day coming into this clash due to an ankle knock, while Mitchell Robinson and Miles McBride are also uncertain to feature. The Bulls already know none of Jalen Smith, Zach Colling, or Noa Essengue will play, while it would be a major loss if neither Josh Giddey nor Anfernee Simons can pass a fit in time.
