Bulls tipoff
New York Knicks at the United Center, 7 p.m.
TV: Comcast SportsNet, ESPN
Radio: WMVP 1000-AM
Update: Jeremy Lin is still having a nice run, averaging 20.8 points and 8.7 assists in 16 games as the Knicks’ starting point guard. But the “Linsanity” has faded a bit as New York’s schedule got tougher. The Knicks (18-23) lost their fifth straight game Sunday against Philadelphia and are barely staying ahead of Milwaukee and Cleveland for the eighth playoff spot in the East. Carmelo Anthony is the team’s top scorer at 21.3 points, but the Knicks are just 2-7 with Lin and Anthony in the lineup together. PF Amare Stoudemire scored 34 points when the Bulls won at New York 105-102 on Feb. 2.
Next: Miami Heat at the United Center, 8:30 p.m. Wednesday
