New York Knicks vs. Chicago Bulls prediction
It may have taken New York a while to figure it out, and by a while I mean for the majority of the year, but the Knicks have won four games in a row. The Bulls were once upon a time the best team in the conference, but Chicago’s lost five of its last seven games.
Nonetheless, I think that the Bulls are going to win this one. Why? New York’s going to run out of steam sooner than Chicago due to having played yesterday. DeRozan’s the player that you want on your team if you’re down in the fourth quarter and given how the Knicks are known for collapsing late in the game, I’m going with the Bulls.
We’re taking the Bulls -3.5 and under 219.5 points.
Chicago 107, New York 101.
What channel is the New York Knicks-Chicago Bulls game on?
