Bulls at Knicks picks and predictionsPrediction
Knicks 119, Bulls 115
The Knicks are 2-0 at home and surely glad to be back there after an 0-3 road trip. In their 2 home games, they allowed 111 and 95 points, compared to 115, 121 and 135 on the road trip.
The Bulls are 1-0 on the road so far, beating the Orlando Magic 110-98, their lowest offensive output so far this season.
The Knicks will play better defense in front of their home crowd, but -275 odds are not the value you want. Go with the spread.
PASS.
The Bulls are 5-0 ATS to start the season and 4-0 ATS as underdogs. The Knicks are 2-3 ATS, covering the spread in both their wins. However, considering the Bulls just had a 10-point win over the Knicks in which they dominated basically the entire game, it would seem more likely this game will be competitive down to the wire.
BET BULLS +7.5 (-115).
The Knicks’ only game this season to clear 237 total points was their loss to the Bulls on Friday.
The Bulls’ last 3 games have had 239 or more points.
BET UNDER 237.5 (-115).
