Bulls vs Knicks Predictions and Picks
Chicago is currently 13th in points, 28th in points allowed, and 23rd in point differential. Josh Giddey leads the team in points per game and assists per game. The Bulls are 11-26 on the road and 2-8 in their last 10 games. This team has a six-game road losing streak and five of those losses were by double digits. They are still looking for solid performances from young players and will look to keep the high point totals going. It's the defense that continues to give up points easily and these guys are also very banged up.
New York is currently 11th in points, fifth in points allowed, and fifth in point differential. Josh Hart leads the team in field goal percentage. The Knicks are 27-9 at home and 7-3 in their last 10 games. New York has been solid against teams with losing records and they will look to keep the offense trending up. This team is completely healthy and can't afford to lose what should be a tune-up game for the playoffs. New York also needs this game to get closer to clinching the three seed.
Best Bet: Over
The Bulls still put up a decent amount of points per game and will still try to play a spoiler role on the Knicks' playoff seeding. New York just put up points with ease against the lowly Grizzlies and will look to do the same against the way below-average Chicago defense.
