The Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks meet Tuesday in NBA action at Madison Square Garden.

The Chicago Bulls need to add to their four-game winning streak to remain in a tight playoff race.

Jimmy Butler is averaging 23.9 points and 6.2 rebounds while Nikola Mirotic is averaging 10.3 points and 5.3 rebounds. Robin Lopez is the third double-digit scorer and Rajon Rondo is dishing 6.7 assists. The Chicago Bulls are shooting 33.7 percent from beyond the arc and 79.4 percent from the free throw line. The Chicago Bulls are allowing 35.4 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 45.9 rebounds per game. The Chicago Bulls have split their last six road games.

The New York Knicks have a chance to play spoiler despite losing 10 of their last 13 games. The New York Knicks are averaging 104.6 points on 44.7 percent shooting and allowing 108.3 points on 45.4 percent shooting. Carmelo Anthony is averaging 22.5 points and 5.9 rebounds while Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 18.1 points and 7.2 rebounds.

The Bulls are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games, 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Knicks are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 Tuesday games, 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. The Bulls are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in New York, 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings overall and the over is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings.

The Chicago Bulls are starting to play like a team that wants to make the postseason, while the New York Knicks are doing everything they can to lose the rest of the way and lockup a top-five pick. I've questioned the Bulls all season and still don't think they're a good basketball team, but this is a game they should win rather easily given what's going on in New York.
