Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
The Chicago Bulls have struggled so far this season as they’ve dropped six of their first seven games and they are now losers of five in a row after getting trounced by the 76ers in a 126-107 road defeat on Monday. Caleb Wilson led the team with 24 points, seven rebounds and four assists, Norman Powell added 18 points while Josh Giddey tallied 13 points with 10 assists and two blocks. As a team, the Bulls shot just 43 percent from the field and 10 of 38 from the 3-point line as they poured in 36 points in the second quarter to keep the scores close heading into the halftime break, but they couldn’t maintain that pace at all as they got outscored by 62-48 in the second half to suffer yet another blowout defeat on the road. Matas Buzelis had a game to forget as he scored just four points with five turnovers while Isaac Okoro shot zero of six from the field to finish with just four points.
New York Knicks Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the New York Knicks started their season with three disappointing losses in a row, but it looks like they have turned things around as they are now aiming for their fourth win in five games after running past the lowly Nets in a 103-90 home win on Monday. Landry Shamet led the team in scoring with 22 points on six of eight shooting off the bench, Jalen Brunson added 19 points with six assists, OG Anunoby scored 18 points while Karl-Anthony Towns tallied 11 points with 16 rebounds and five assists. As a team, the Knicks shot just 41 percent from the field and 17 of 44 from the 3-point line but this win was all about their defense as the Knicks were actually trailing in this contest before they restricted the Nets to just 11 points in the fourth quarter to win comfortably in the end.
Chicago v New York Free Prediction
The Bulls are still keeping an eye on Nic Claxton who is questionable with a hamstring injury, while the Knicks have listed Josh Hart as questionable due to right ankle soreness. These teams have already met once this season with the Knicks beating the Bulls by 133-127 back on Oct 28. These teams have headed in opposite directions since that meeting, so while the Bulls did a nice job of competing in the last meeting thanks to 30 points from Powell, I just don’t see that happening again. Give me the Knicks to continue their strong run with a relatively comfortable win and cover at home in this spot.
