Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One – Handicap (-1.5) for Bulls – 1.70.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two – Total Match Points Under 222.5 – 1.70.
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three – Bulls Points Under 115.5 – 1.60.
Three straight wins inspire confidence, but we all know how unstable the New York Knicks are this season. The team continues to fight for tenth place in the East, so every loss now will be a failure.
The Chicago Bulls have been losing more often, but Billy Donovan’s men are still one of the league’s top teams. The Bulls aren’t particularly comfortable on the road. However, in my opinion, the Bulls will get it together and win this match.
These are the two teams that put their main focus on defence. The hosts have line-up problems, so they are likely to operate from the defence.
The Chicago Bulls have not scored more than 115.5 points in their last five games.

There was a time in the season when the team was even leading the Eastern Conference, but competition forced them to drop to fifth place. The Bulls still have a chance to get back into contention for first place, although there is not much time left.
In their last meeting, the Chicago Bulls defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. It was a tight game, but the visitors were more accurate on offence and solid on defence (98-94). Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan showed their best side as they combined for 45 points.
In the game against the Cavaliers, Zach LaVine scored 25 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.
