Pre-Gamin’: Knicks at Bulls (7:00 CT) – Projected Lineups, How to Watch, More ...Middle East

Sport by : (Bleacher Nation) -

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Tonight, on an 11-game slate in the NBA, the Chicago Bulls are set to take on the New York Knicks. Both teams will be playing the second game of their respective back-to-backs. Chicago is currently on the longest losing streak in the Eastern Conference with eight, and the third longest in the NBA. With a win tonight, they stop their tied sixth-longest losing streak in franchise history. With a loss, they tie their fifth-longest, and match the Memphis Grizzlies in the loss column, aka higher odds at the top pick.

For New York, after a tough win against Houston last night, they are still a game behind the two seed in the East. A win against a lottery team would go a long way in their climb to the top.

Even in a Blowout, Dillingham Struggles to Get Minutes: Pistons 126, Bulls 110 – February 21, 2026

What to Watch For

In the first half against the Detroit Pistons, the Chicago Bulls were getting destroyed in points in the paint, but still ended the half on top. That was because they created a massive advantage from behind the arc, about 18 more points from there alone. The Knicks are bottom ten in the NBA when it comes to opponent three-pointers. If there is any chance of Chicago winning, it will come from there. With Josh Giddey and Tre Jones back, the assists were up. The Bulls had about 30 assists, and at one point, almost all of their points were assisted on. That ability to create easy offense with a lead pass is why Giddey and Tre were severely missed. That was able to generate points against one of the most hounding defenses in the NBA. Of the 12 Bulls who played minutes last night, 10 recorded at least one assist.

— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) February 22, 2026 Leading the assist totals for Chicago last night was the unexpected Guerschon Yabusele, who finished with a career-high eight helpers. He was also flirting with a triple-double, posting 12 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists. He was inserted into the starting lineup alongside Jalen Smith to run a double-big lineup and allow Matas Buzelis to slide down to small forward. In his four games starting for the Bulls so far, he’s already scored double-digit points in three of them. His level of effort has definitely earned him the opportunity to start, and tonight he’ll be taking on the team he was traded from, so maybe a revenge game is incoming. He’s definitely a player to watch.

— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) February 8, 2026 Chicago also did a great job contesting shots last night. They finished with 13 blocks, which tied their season high. The Knicks prefer to attempt most of their shots from behind the arc, but they do tend to get into the paint for easy points. If the Bulls can replicate that level of shot blocking, they could make the Knicks afraid to attack the paint and force them into lower-percentage shots at a higher clip.

— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) February 22, 2026 Expect some minutes from Rob Dillingham tonight, hopefully important ones. After averaging 25 minutes in his first three games, he’s played a combined 18 minutes in the last two. With Giddey and Tre healthy again, some guards were bound to fall out of the rotation. Unfortunately for us, the two young guards, Ivey and Rob, have fallen below the priority list of the two rentals, Anfernee Simons and Collin Sexton. However, according to coach Donovan, he will probably get more minutes tonight.

Billy Donovan said he likes Rob Dillingham and will probably get him more minutes but didn’t tonight because Bulls have Josh Giddey/Tre Jones back, they have too many guards and they tried to use more familiarity to win. Dillingham logged 8:29.

— K.C. Johnson (@KCJHoop) February 22, 2026 The New York Knicks will be missing Mitchell Robinson and Miles McBride, who both play big roles in the effort category. Robinson led last night’s game in offensive rebounds, and McBride had a plus-10 plus/minus off the bench. With both of them out tonight, the available Knicks will have to go above and beyond to make up for the missing effort stats.
