Taking the Knicks here money line here today as the Bulls are just 2-11-3 ATS in their last 16 as a home favorite and 1-9-2 in their last 12 on 1 day rest. The Knicks meanwhile are 4-0 in their last 4 in Chicago and 30-14-1 ATS in their last 45 road games overall.
The Bulls have really struggled to score as of late and while many may think a visit from the Knicks is a sure cure I am telling you it may not. In the Last 5 games the Knicks defense is giving up 10.7 fewer points per game including -2.6FG% and -10.63% from beyond the arch while the Bulls continue to struggle both offensively and defensively. The Knicks have continued to beat and play right with the quality teams in the conference and they would have had a nice road win @ Charlotte if it was not for a 4th quarter collapse that saw them get outscored by 15. Along with the defensive improvements the Knicks have improved offensively over the last 5 games and that's against three of the top 11 defenses in Charlotte, Portland and Atlanta. They are +4.2 FG% and +8.4 3PT % as well as +1.4 rebound margin which they are at -5.1 for the season.
It should be a great battle highlighted between two centers who used to be team mates at Florida. Noah vs. Lee will be the highlight of the night and while Noah is putting up unreal numbers in rebounds Lee has the ability to score while Noah does not.
