Knicks 122, Bulls 111

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value on the Knicks (-350) to beat a banged-up Bulls (+280) team.

Against the spread

BET KNICKS -8.5 (-105).

The Knicks have covered in 2 of their last 3 games and in 4 of their last 7. They are also 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games at home, all as favorites. They face a Chicago team that is just 2-4 ATS in its last 6 and has allowed 119 points or more in 5 of its last 6 games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 231.5 (-105).

The Bulls have scored 119 points or more in 2 of their last 3 games and have scored 112 points or more in 5 of their last 6. They have allowed 113 points or more in 6 straight games. The Knicks have scored 116 points or more in 3 of their last 4 games while allowing 121-plus points twice in the last 4 games.

Chicago Bulls at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Chicago Bulls at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago Bulls (13-18) battle the New York Knicks (18-14) at Madison Square Garden Friday. Tip from New York City is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Bulls vs. Knicks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Bulls, who seem to be having on-court issues between their 2 stars (G Zach LaVine and F DeMar DeRozan), have won 2 in a row, beating the Hawks 110-108 on the road Wednesday, covering as 5-point underdogs. The Bulls are 4-6 against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games.

The Knicks lost 113-106 Wednesday, failing to cover as 2-point home favorites against the Toronto Raptors. That snapped a streak of 8 straight ATS covers for New York. Crazy enough, the Knicks are 8-8 straight up at home and 10-6 straight up on the road. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games though.

Bulls at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 115, Bulls 112

Moneyline

PASS.

The Bulls at (+190) actually has some value, but I would prefer to play the ATS odds, especially considering the 5.5-point spread.

Against the spread

BET BULLS +5.5 (-105).

The Bulls main weakness comes in their inability to defend the 3. They rank 28th in opponents’ 3-point shooting (37.7%). Luckily, for them, the Knicks rank 25th in 3-point percentage (33.4%).

The Bulls have also been playing better as of late and have a negative sentiment around their team which should make the Knicks the public favorite. Chicago has won 2 straight against strong Eastern Conference teams, Atlanta and Miami.

New York is just 6-8-2 ATS as the home side, so it hasn’t played better at home. Considering C Nikola Vucevic has improved his 3-point shooting, hitting at least 2 triples in his last 3 games, C Mitchell Robinson may not be able to operate strictly in the paint, another way DeRozen and LaVine will be freed up.

Combine the play styles with the Knicks’ struggles at home, and I would back the BULLS +5.5 (-105) here.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 225.5 (-11).

The Bulls have scored at least 110 in 3 straight games and are 4-3 O/U in their last 7. They also rank 6th in field goal percentage (48.3%) and 4th in free throw percentage (82%).0

The Knicks have gone Over in 3 of their last 5. Both teams rank top 20 in pace with the Knicks sitting 18th and Bulls 10th.

Chicago should want this game played at a high pace, and without Ball and potentially Caruso, their backcourt has struggled defensively. G Jalen Brunson could abuse those shortcomings.

Ultimately, back the OVER 225.5 (-110).

Chicago Bulls at New York Knicks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Chicago Bulls at New York Knicks and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago Bulls (43-31) travel to the Mecca of the NBA Monday to face the New York Knicks (33-42) at Madison Square Garden for a 7:30 p.m. ET tip-off. Below, we look at the Bulls vs. Knicks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Bulls are just 4-6 (3-7 ATS) in the last 10 games and have not been good on the road, at 17-21. SG DeMar DeRozan has been steady, but he hasn’t carried the team like he did earlier in the season. He has topped 30 points just once this month. The Bulls won as six-point underdogs Saturday 98-94 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Knicks have a 6-4 mark over the last 10 games. They had to scratch and claw to defeat the Detroit Pistons 104-102 Sunday, failing to cover. They are just 15-21 at home this season, and time is running out for the Knicks to gain the final play-in spot. They trail the 10th-place Atlanta Hawks by 4½ games.

Bulls at Knicks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bulls 111, Knicks 104

Money line

The Knicks are on the back end of a back-to-back and struggled to defeat the Pistons Sunday. The Bulls had a day of rest and are merely a better team. I’d rather lay the points, but the BULLS (-170) is right on my borderline.

PLAY: Free, daily sports pick’em contests. Play now!

Against the spread

The Bulls have 43 wins on the year, and they’re 39-34-1 ATS. Conversely, the Knicks are 0-5 ATS in their last five home games as an underdog. The Bulls are 2-1 against the Knicks this season, and that one win was a one-point victory in October.

After missing a good chunk of the season due to injury, SG Zach LaVine has found his groove. He’s averaging 25.8 points per game on 47.4 percent from the floor and 39.2 percent from distance this month. Look for him to let loose like he did last week with a 39 spot against the Pelicans.

We’ll lay the points here and take BULLS -3.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings. It’s also 5-0 in the last five Bulls games following a win and as a favorite.

This is an extremely well-made total as these two combine to average 217.9. Ideally, you’d stay away from this total. But with the Knicks possibly having tired legs and barely eclipsing 100 Sunday, let’s LEAN UNDER 218.5 (-107).

Chicago Bulls at New York Knicks odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Chicago Bulls at New York Knicks odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Chicago Bulls (14-8) visit the “Big Apple” to play the New York Knicks (11-10) at Madison Square Garden. The tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Bulls vs. Knicks odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions, and bets.

Chicago has split its last six games (3-3 overall and ATS), which includes a 109-103 victory over New York Nov. 21. Bulls wings Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan combined for 52 points and the Knicks shot just 26% from behind the arc in that game.

New York has alternated between winning and losing over the past nine games with the latest being a 112-110 loss at the Brooklyn Nets as 6-point road underdogs.

However, the Knicks won the first meeting this season against the Bulls 104-103. The road team has won and covered both Bulls-Knicks games this year.

The Knicks are 10-11 ATS and 8-13 O/U while the Bulls are 14-8 ATS and 10-12 O/U.

Bulls at Knicks odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 111, Bulls 106

Money line

“LEAN” to the KNICKS (+105) only because I prefer New York plus the points because there’s not a lot separating these two squads, and this game should come down to the final possessions. However, the Knicks are deeper, and if all things are equal, then I’ll take the home team.

New York has the third-highest scoring bench in the league with the second-best plus/minus. While Chicago is 28th in bench points per game and 13th in plus/minus.

Furthermore, in New York’s Oct. 28th victory over Chicago, Knicks All-Star Julius Randle only scored nine points on 27% shooting, but New York still won on the road.

Moreover, there are basketball edges that the Knicks can exploit in this matchup. Chicago takes a ton of mid-range jumpers and New York has the sixth-best defensive field goal percentage vs. mid-range shots, according to CleaningTheGlass.com.

Finally, these teams have split the eight quarters and the “four factors” over two games so far this year. Sure, the road team won and covered the first two Bulls-Knicks meetings this year.

But, I think that trend breaks Thursday because, generally, role players perform better at home. And, like we just discussed, the Knicks have more depth.

Again, the better play is New York getting the points but I’ll “SPRINKLE” on the KNICKS (+105).

Against the spread

Definitely BET the KNICKS +1.5 (-120) heavier than or instead of New York’s money line based on the aforementioned logic.

For what it’s worth, nearly two-thirds of the cash is on the Bulls at the time of publishing, according to Pregame.com. So, there’s a “fade the market” angle we can work into our KNICKS +1.5 (-105) handicap.

Over/Under

PASS on the total because there are arguments for this game being a rock-fight or an up-and-down thriller. The Bulls have two dynamic scorers, and the Knicks can get hot from behind the arc.

That said, the Under has cashed in five straight Bulls-Knicks games and the total has ticked down a few points from the opener even though a slight majority of the money is on the Over per Pregame.com. For those reasons, I “lean” to the Under but don’t like it enough to bet it.
