Preview, predictions, TV and injury report for tonight's Chicago Bulls v New York Knicks game

On a Tuesday day in the NBA where a total of 14 games will be played, Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks will face each other in an Eastern Conference duel where the visitors, above all, have a lot at stake. The stars of the game will be DeMar DeRozan and Jalen Brunson.

The Knicks will be the visitors in a game they come into in 4th place in the Eastern Conference with a 46-32 record. The Big Apple franchise, however, is dreaming of climbing even higher in the standings, as Orlando Magic, 3rd, has the same record, and Milwaukee Bucks, 2nd, is just one game behind, 47-31, after losing its last four games.

The Bulls, on the other hand, have already mathematically sealed their presence in the playoffs for several days, and in fact they are only aiming to finish 9th to be the home team in their first game of the elimination tournament. The Illinois franchise is currently defending that position with a 37-41 record, while Atlanta Hawks is their rival, 10th with 36-42.
