Betting Trend: Chicago is 15-9 ATS as a road underdog of 6.5 to 12 points over the past three seasons.

The Knicks shouldn't be counted on to cover tonight's spread, as they are already using a thin rotation and are playing the second night of a back-to-back. On top of that, Jalen Brunson hurt his ankle on Tuesday and didn't finish the game, leaving him questionable for this matchup.

The Bulls have covered in consecutive games, losing by just four to the Cavs in their last game. Had they taken better care of the basketball, they would have won that game straight-up, too.

Chicago won't struggle to get points at the rim against the Knicks (27th in opponent rim FG%), as the home team lacks the interior presence it had recently with Isaiah Hartenstein. Karl-Anthony Towns has been excellent on offense, but he is a poor defender. I expect Nikola Vucevic to be an X-factor in this matchup... NY is also allowing its opponents to shoot the fifth-most threes per game, which will open up shooting opportunities for Zach LaVine (41.7 3PT% this season) and Coby White (38.6 3PT%). LaVine is coming off a great performance against Cleveland (26 points on 60% shooting), too.
