Carmelo Anthony will be a game-time decision for the New York Knicks on Saturday night when they take on the Chicago Bulls, according to Jonah Ballow. Anthony cut his finger while diving over the Knicks bench on Wednesday against the Charlotte Bobcats. He required five stitches in the middle finger of his non-shooting hand, and sat out the following night, when the Knicks defeated the Miami Heat. Without Anthony, Raymond Felton led the Knicks with 27 points.
