Matas Buzelis has been called for 3.2 personal fouls per game over the last 5 games, 1.7 higher than he's been called for in all games this season.The matchup vs. New York is a difficult one for three-point shots; when the Knicks have the home court advantage, opposing starting PFs have shot for the lowest three percentage in the league this year (18.6%).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).Matas Buzelis should experience a decrease in performance in all stat categories on account of being on the road in this contest.
