New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls

Venue: Madison Square Garden
Prediction: New York Knicks
Bookmaker: 1xbet

 

New York failed last game: The team unexpectedly lost to the Raptors by a score of 106-113, interrupting an eight-game winning streak. Despite this, the club remains in sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Knicks’ defense has grown significantly over the past nine games: averaging around 99 points per game.

Chicago is 11th in the Eastern Conference and matches (13-18). The last two games turned out well. The Bulls beat Atlanta (110-108) and Miami (113-103). The club’s underwhelming performance against rivals: just six victories in seventeen games this season.

Something inexplicable happened in New York’s last game: The team unexpectedly lost to Toronto (106-113) at home, even though they had won seven games in a row before, defeating a powerful opponent. Now, New York will be looking to bounce back from the loss and will try to beat another Canadian team that has yet to show itself in the best light of late: 6-2. The two clubs have already met at Chicago Field last December 15 and 17; on both occasions, the Knicks have changed. Also, everything should be fine at home.
