Chicago Bulls vs New York Knicks Betting Analysis
The New York Knicks visit the Windy City for an Eastern Conference clash with the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. The Bulls are come off a heartbreaking 123-122 overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
The Knicks came out on top on Sunday, with a 112-99 victory over the Sacramento Kings. This is the first of three head-to-head meetings between these teams, they will meet again on Friday as New York remains in Chicago. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM EST/4:30 PST as the first game of an ESPN doubleheader.
Bulls Drop A Heartbreaker
Three DeMar DeRozan free throws gave the Bulls a one point lead over the Atlanta Hawks with only 0.5 seconds remaining and the game seemed out of reach.
That wasn’t the case, as rookie AJ Griffin hit an alley-oop buzzer beater and stole the victory away from Chicago. DeMar DeRozan led all scorers with a 34 point 13 rebound double-double on 10-21 from the field.
Zach Lavine added 21 points while Derrick Jones Jr and Andre Drummond both chipped in with 14 off the bench. Chicago ranks 14th in scoring with 113.3 points a game on 47.7% from the floor.
Defensively the Bulls sit at 16th with 113.3 points allowed per game. Alex Caruso (back) and Ayo Dosunmu (abdomen) are both listed as questionable for this contest.
Knicks Look For Fifth Straight Victory
The New York Knicks picked up their fourth straight victory with a 13 point victory over the Sacramento Kings. Julius Randle and RJ Barrett were tied as the games leading scorer with 27 points.
Barrett added 9 rebounds & 6 assists while Randle added 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Randles stat line is extra impressive considering he was ejected in the 3rd quarter after getting his 2nd technical foul for arguing a non-call.
New York out-rebounded Sacramento 55-41 in the contest. The Knicks rank 13th in scoring with 113.8 points per game.
They are also middle of the pack in defensive scoring at 12th with 112.9 points allowed per game. James Brunson is questionable for the contest with a foot injury while Obi Toppin has already been ruled out with a knee injury.
Chicago Bulls vs New York Knicks Player Prop Prediction
The Chicago Bulls are favored by 4 points over the New York Knicks with a total set at 225. These teams haven’t met yet this season but will be becoming familiar with each other as they play again on Friday and then again on December 23rd at Madison Square Garden.
It looks like Jalen Brunson will sit for this one and Julius Randle has been on a scoring tear. Randle 27, 33 and 34 in his last three games, the 27 point performance was last time out as he only played 27 minutes after being ejected in the 3rd quarter.
The Bulls allow the 9th most points to opposing power fowards with an average of 23 per game, but Randle is far from average. Obi Toppin has been ruled out and he is Randles direct backup.
This will give Randle extra, especially when you consider the fact that Randle didn’t play full minutes last time out. Seems like a perfect spot for Randle to score 26+.
Prediction: Julius Randle Over 25.5 Points -110 Draftkings
