NBA schedule: Knicks face Bulls, Timberwolves as Nets host 76ers over weekend

The New York Knicks play a pair of games at Madison Square Garden this weekend, as they host the Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves. The Nets will be in action on Sunday when the 76ers travel to Brooklyn.

The Bulls visit MSG on Friday at 7:30 p.m. ET. Chicago has been hot as of late, winning seven out of 10 to claim first place in the Central Division. It has been winning without point guard Derrick Rose, who continues to recover from a knee injury suffered in last season's playoffs.

The Knicks host Minnesota on Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. It will be a matchup of Team USA teammates, as Kevin Love faces off against Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler.

Anyone hoping to catch both NBA games in NYC on Sunday would have to miss the start of the Knicks game (or the end of the Nets game) as Brooklyn takes on Philadelphia at 3 p.m. ET.
