This year when they are on the road, opposing starting SFs have shot 33.3% on shot attempts from the field (lowest in the NBA) against the New York Knicks, resulting in a challenging matchup.The Chicago Bulls are expected to suffer a drop-off in plays in this game from squaring off against the 7th-least up-tempo pace team in the NBA this year (the New York Knicks).The Bulls have been the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).Over the last 15 games, opposing starting SFs have attempted 2.5 free throws per game (9th-lowest in the NBA) against the New York Knicks, making it tough to get to the charity stripe.Lonzo Ball will not hold the home court advantage in this matchup. Playing away from your home stadium usually worsens stat production across the board.
