In recent games, the Chicago Bulls have shown a mixed bag of performances. They secured back-to-back wins against the Charlotte Hornets and Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 115 and 116 points respectively. However, they suffered a significant loss to the Washington Wizards, managing only 107 points. The Bulls have a solid offensive presence with Nikola Vučević, boasting a high offensive rating of 123.0 and averaging over 20 points per game. Defensively, though, they might struggle, as evidenced by the defensive ratings of players like Coby White and Patrick Williams. Contrastingly, the New York Knicks are coming off two wins out of their last three games, with commanding victories against the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards. Their offensive firepower is spearheaded by Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns, who have offensive ratings of 125.5 and 126.7, respectively, both averaging over 24 points per game. The Knicks have shown a more balanced approach, combining solid offensive performances with relatively better defensive ratings in their starting lineup compared to the Bulls.
