Chicago Bulls – New York Knicks / NBA – The Bulls recently had a run of seven straight wins. One of these victories they took against the Knicks, namely at home 104: 102. Now the Bulls play again in front of their own fans, but are not in the role of favorites. The Knicks, however, currently also present a particularly good form of play.

Chicago Bulls
With Mirotic back, the Bulls have been playing fantastically, scoring seven consecutive wins. The series was then ended by a narrow 112: 115 defeat to Cleveland, but has improved the overall impression. The Bulls have u.a. also defeated the Knicks, and indeed provided for Guard Dunn, who scored two free throws in the last few minutes of the game. Dunn was the most efficient player in Chicago (17 points, 9 assists and 7 rebounds) with Mirotic (19 points), while four other players had double-digit scores.
Now is again a home game against the Knicks before and the Bulls have to get along again without the two great Guards, LaVine and Payne. These are injured and have not played in the current season. Incidentally, they can score around 25 points per game together. And that’s missing the Bulls. With Mirotic it looks a bit better now and the attack is now at 99.4 points, which they are on the 28th league seat. The Gaurds Holiday and Dunn play solidly in the attack, as do the substitutes Grant and Nwaba, but all are just waiting for a player like LaVine.

New York Knicks
Before the away game at the Bulls the Knicks conceded two defeats, first against the Pistons 101: 104 and then against the 76ers 98: 105. Nevertheless, their efficiency value is still over 50% as they have 17 wins and 16 losses. The away games are the problem. So far, they have won only two out of 12 appearances. As already mentioned, they lost the first away game in the United Center, where they could have also won if Porzingis had only hit the threesome in the last game seconds.
The last duel against the 76ers has been marked by the Turkish center player Kanter. He scored 31 points and 22 rebounds. But Embiid was better in the end. The Knicks actually have a much better attack than the Bulls, while their defense is stronger too. As far as the casting rate is concerned, it is 47%: 43.7% in favor of the guests. But the first duel won the Bulls. The Knciks had no solution for Mirotic.

Chicago Bulls – New York Knicks TIP
This is not a fantastic game to be expected, but it should be a bit uncertain. In the last 11 of 12 games won, the Knicks scored over 100 points, while the Bulls in the last ten games mostly also had three-digit scores. That’s why we expect more points now.

Our Prediction: Over 208 points @ 1.93
