Game Preview

After opening the season with two wins, the Knicks went on the road and lost the next two games. After suffering defeat in Miami, 115-107, they fell in Milwaukee vs. Bucks, 121-111. Even though it’s early in the regular season, nobody wants to see their team lose three consecutive matches.

Jalen Brunson scored 36 points, having 4 boards and 3 assists. Mikal Bridges had 24 with 11 boards, while Karl-Anthony Towns had a lousy scoring night with only 8 points. KAT grabbed 12 boards.

The Bulls utilized the fact that 3 of their first 4 games were in Chicago. And that’s why this team sits at 4-0 right now. The most recent contest played was against the Sacramento Kings, whom they defeated 126-113.

Chicago outrebounded the rivals 45-31 and also scored 70 points in the paint. Matas Buzelis ended the night with 27 points, and he looks like the next All-Star player from the Bulls. Josh Giddey had 20 with 12 assists and 8 boards. Vucevic added another double-double with 13 points and 14 boards. He had 7 assists as well.

Knicks vs. Bulls Head to Head

Last season, the Bulls won the first two games, while the Knicks won the last one in OT.

Knicks vs. Bulls Predictions

Currently, the Bulls’ offense appears very fluid and, more importantly, efficient. The Knicks score fewer points; that’s obvious, and they have problems finding their groove on the road. That’s why we’re picking the Bulls to cover the spread.
