The Knicks (11-10) host the Bulls (14-8) at MSG on Thursday night

The New York Knicks are committing to their new-look starting lineup. Alec Burks is in for Kemba Walker and he looks the part through two games. The Chicago Bulls are off to one of the best starts of any team in the Eastern Conference.

The Bulls added a ton of talent in the offseason and that talent has been on full display so far. DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball are playing efficient basketball. We expect both of these teams to be in the mix in the Eastern Conference when all is said and done.

Let’s take a closer look at the broadcast information, odds, injury report, and projected starting lineups.
