New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls Prediction, Odds and Picks

The New York Knicks saw their 9-game winning streak ended last night by the Oklahoma City Thunder. They will have a great chance to get back to winning ways as they visit the Chicago Bulls. While it will be their second game in as many nights, they have won 2 of 3 such games this season. They are up against a Bulls team that has really struggled playing at home this season, winning just 5 of 16 games. Injury wise both teams are relatively healthy, with Ayo Dosunmu and Miles McBride being the only potential absentees for the sides, respectively. Dosunmu was a key spark off the bench for the Bulls when the sides met earlier in the season, dropping 16 points. It could really impact the Bulls bench production here.

Over the last 10 games the Knicks have been in the top 4 in the league in both offensive and defensive rating. With the Bulls being one of the worst offensive teams during that stretch, being 28th in offensive rating, they could have issues keeping staying in touch. The Bulls are also 3rd in pace during that time, so there should be no shortage of possessions in which the Knicks offensive advantage should help become telling. The Knicks thrive scoring on the inside too, ranking 2nd in points in the paint during that time. With Nikola Vucevic not offering much rim protection, averaging just 0.7 blocks per game, it is no surprise the Bulls are 25th in opponent points in that category. Its something the Knicks should exploit en route to a comfortable win here.
