NYK vs CHI Dream11: In this inter-conference match-up, the New York Knicks will host the Chicago Bulls. The Knicks have been up-and-down all season long but still have managed a winning record somehow. The Chicago Bulls have been one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and has done a wonderful job. Knicks have been having some trouble putting together wins in a row and unlike the Chicago team, they have gone cold from the field quite a lot. Although Julius Randle is a dependable helmsman, the Knicks need more out of other players. The team has depth, it seems a matter of time before the squad figures it out. Bulls have put together one of the most well-balanced and deep squads in the league. Even with Patrick Williams out, the team has been able to perform well, although the defense has suffered in his absence. Chicago’s campaign has been on track so far and they have done well even with some players being absent constantly. Host: New York Knicks Visitors: Chicago Bulls Match Timing: 3 December, @ 06:00 AM Venue: Madison Square Garden.
Knicks: There is some confusion it seems There are strong rumours of Kemba Walker being traded and considering how he hasn’t received regular minutes, his short marriage with the Knicks seem to be over. Kemba didn’t have a great season with the Knicks, either the system didn’t suit him or he is out-of-rhythm right now. Knicks’ offense has struggled at times with players like Barrett, Fournier, Walker, and even Rose at times going ice cold from the field. Before the 110 points outing versus the Nets, the team was struggling to get beyond 104-105.
Bulls: They have fielded something special Chicago has been in superb touch this season. See, the reason is simple; you get two scorers who can work off the dribble and create a ton of shots. What happens is that if you surround scorers like that with a strong middle player like Vucevic and a shooter like Lonzo Ball, you can produce offense in multiple ways. Chicago is a team that can force the way out in both the shootout and low-scoring scenario.
