Prediction

The Bulls are weak on defense and unable to strengthen further, with their performance declining steadily. They are barely positioned at the play-in level. The Knicks are firmly in the top three of the Eastern Conference, and there is a significant gap in strength between the two teams. The Knicks need to solidify their position in the top three of the East, and they cannot afford any slip-ups against a Bulls team with poor defense. I’m expecting a big win for the Knicks.

Pick: Knicks -12.5 (bet365)
