Monday, March 28th the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks play for the fourth and final time this season. The Knicks lead the series 2-1 with victories on November 21st (109-103), December 2nd (119-115) while the Bulls won the October 28th contest 104-103.
The Bulls last played Saturday winning an important seeding game 98-94 versus the Cavaliers while the Knicks are finishing a back-to-back set with a 104-102 victory versus the Pistons on Sunday.
Last season, the teams played three times with the Knicks taking two of the three contests. The Bulls hold the all-time record having bested the Knicks in 125 of their 238 matches.
Chicago Bulls
Although the Bulls have suffered regression and are struggling to get their chemistry back on both sides of the court they’ve won important matches recently versus the Raptors and Cavaliers.
They lucked out facing Toronto on a back-to-back and held on to get the win in Cleveland on Saturday. The resulting effect is they maintained the fifth seed but will be hard-pressed to finish the season with the hardest strength of schedule of the three clubs.
Chicago has the fourth hardest closing schedule while the Raptors and Cavaliers will finish with the 18th and 20th hardest schedules.
In the victory versus Cleveland, all five starters reached double-digit scoring with Zach LaVine leading the way scoring 25 points while DeMar DeRozan offered 20 points and both players shot 8 of 17.
Nikola Vucevic posted 16 points with nine rebounds while Ayo Dosunmu and Alex Caruso scored 11 and 10 points respectively.
Lonzo Ball (knee) is the only Bulls player who isn’t available for the Monday match.
New York Knicks
An interesting side note about the Knicks’ schedule is they’ve played 10 sets of back-to-back games and will play two more for a total of 12 while teams like the Bulls and Raptors will play 17 sets because of postponed games due to COVID.
Some teams like the Knicks lucked out that they didn’t get impacted by other teams needing to postpone games against them or have their own matches delayed for later in the season.
That makes a difference for clubs as the more consecutive matches they play the harder it is on the team’s fatigue level. The Knicks were lucky to get the win Sunday leading by 19 and having to hold on for a two-point victory.
R.J. Barrett led the way with 21 points and nine rebounds while Julius Randle was back in the lineup after missing the last three games, scoring 20 points.
Alec Burks (18), Immanuel Quickly (18), Evan Fournier (11), and Obi Toppin (10) all scored in double-figures.
Nerlens Noel (foot) and Quentin Grimes (knee) are questionable for Monday. Derrick Rose (ankle) is out indefinitely. Cam Reddish (shoulder) and Kemba Walker (knee) are done for the season.

Free Chicago Bulls vs. New York Knicks NBA Prediction
The Knicks are 5-5 in second games of back-to-back matches while the Bulls aren’t as strong on the road with a losing record (17-21) although they fare better against teams with sub .500 records.
Chicago won on the road for the first time since March 9th (in Cleveland) and the Knicks always play them tough. With nothing to lose I suspect New York will revel in playing spoiler so I’m taking them and the points.
