Knicks vs Bulls Prediction
A lot of points for a Knicks team that’s on the end of a back-to-back and just snagged their first win. However, this has more to do with the Bulls than anything else. The Bulls aren’t playing a lick of defense and are a young team still trying to find themselves. The Bulls have allowed 120-plus points in six straight games. It’s just not good enough. I’m fading the Bulls in this spot. Give me the Knicks in a comfortable road win.
