Knicks at Bulls picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 114, Bulls 109
Moneyline
Given how both of these teams have been playing recently, KNICKS (+145) is an intriguing wager at the current odds. New York has won 6 of its last 10 matchups against Chicago.
Against the spread
KNICKS +4.5 (-115) is where I’m going in this game considering that I’m taking New York to win straight up. The Knicks have been playing solid recently, though, if Brunson is out, then the spread will likely go in favor of the Bulls more.
The Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games and the Knicks have covered the spread in 5 of their last 7 games.
All signs point toward UNDER 224.5 (-105) being the ideal choice in this game. The Knicks and the Bulls have reached 225-plus points only twice in the last 10 meetings.
The Knicks have hit the Under in each of their last 6 games while the Bulls are 6-1-1 to the Under in their last 8 home games. Also, the Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between New York and Chicago.
