Game Preview: Knicks at Bulls, October 28, 2026

The Knicks aim to snap their 0‑3 start with a seemingly easy win over the 1‑3 Bulls on Oct. 28, 2026. After a 14‑point victory over the Pistons, New York faces Chicago, which boasts the league’s worst net rating (‑18.3) and a sputtering offense led only by rookie Caleb Wilson (18.5 PPG). The Knicks, despite early struggles from Jalen Brunson and Karl‑Anthony Towns’ foul trouble, have shown flashes: Towns’ dominance, OG Anunoby’s playmaking, and a revived Mikal Bridges and Landry Shamet. If the talent gap holds, the Knicks should win comfortably and extend their first win streak of the season.
