Chicago Bulls vs New York Knicks Picks and Prediction
Pick: New York Knicks -12.5
Chicago C Nic Claxton (hamstring) and New York F Josh Hart (ankle) are listed as questionable for this contest. The Knicks have won four straight meetings against the Bulls, including a 133-127 road victory less than a week ago. The Knicks are the superior defensive team and have an advantage on the glass. Take New York to win and cover at home.
Pick: Over 233.5
Chicago is playing at the fastest tempo in the league and New York can get drawn into a quicker pace against inferior teams. The Knicks have scored 128 or more points in three of the previous four meetings against the Bulls. Look for New York to have a breakout scoring game and approach the 130-point mark against a poor Chicago defense. Take the over.
Final Score Prediction: New York Knicks win 129-111
