The New York Knicks head to Chicago to take on the Bulls live at 1:00 (UK time).
The Bulls have had a great run so far in the NBA standings this season. Chicago are in first place in the Central Division, currently at 15-9, ahead of Lebron James and the Cavaliers. Surprisingly the Bulls have been much better on-the-road than at home in United Center but the way things are looking now, Chicago should have an excellent season.
The Knicks are on the other side of the spectrum. They are in second to last place in the Atlantic Division at 5-22 and haven’t been able to get things together so far this year. Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks superstar might be kicking himself for not going to Chicago rather than New York, after he cancelled the last year of his contract to opt in for free agent status. He closed with the Knicks for a five-year, $124 million contract but the team is not likely to be anywhere after the regular season, except maybe the golf course.
Tale of the Tape
Head to head action between the Bulls and the Knicks is always fun to watch. Their shared rivalry, may be one of the most beloved in the entire NBA as the Windy City and the Big Apple have met on the hardwood 249 times and Chicago has the winning record by a margin of 139-110.
