Knicks Host Bulls Looking To Bounce Back
The New York Knicks will host the Chicago Bulls at Madison Square Garden on Thursday night.

The Knicks (11-10) are 5-6 at home and are undoubtedly looking for a bounce-back performance since they lost against the Brooklyn Nets by a 112-110 score on Tuesday. Alec Burks led the Knicks with 25 points, five rebounds and five assists, while Julius Randle notched 24 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Evan Fournier had 13 points and made a couple of key threes in the second half. Derrick Rose ended with 16 points, nine assists and five rebounds off the bench. Immanuel Quickley had 12 points and seven boards off the bench as well. The Knicks have now gone 2-3 in their last five contests and return home following a short two-game road trip, where they went 1-1.

The Bulls (14-8) are coming off a 133-119 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. Nikola Vucevic led the way for Chicago with 30 points and 14 rebounds, while DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine both cleared the 25-point mark for the Bulls -- DeRozan had 28 points, six assists and five rebounds while LaVine posted 25 points, six boards and five dimes. Lonzo Ball ended with 16 points and eight assists. Alex Caruso had 14 points and seven assists off the bench. The Bulls have gone 2-3 in their last five games, but they’ve won two of their last three contests and seem to be on the rise. They have also posted a 7-4 mark on the road.
