Chicago Bulls @ New York Knicks Preview

The New York Knicks (36-18) host the Chicago Bulls (22-33) at Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are in excellent form, winning eight of their last ten games and sitting third in the Eastern Conference. Led by All-Stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson, the Knicks have been dominant offensively, averaging 118.4 points per game with a league-leading field goal percentage of 49.6%. However, they will be without Josh Hart, who is sidelined with a knee injury.

The Bulls, on the other hand, are struggling, having lost their last four games. With a defense that ranks 29th in the league, allowing 120.7 points per game, they face an uphill battle. Nikola Vučević and Ayo Dosunmu will need to step up if the Bulls hope to compete against the Knicks' high-powered offense.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Bulls hold a slight historical edge over the Knicks with 130 victories to the Knicks' 118. However, recent matchups have been competitive. The Bulls won the last two meetings, including a 124-123 victory at Madison Square Garden on November 13, 2024, and a 139-126 win at the United Center on January 4, 2025. The Knicks will look to reverse this trend in tonight's game.

Pick: Knicks -12.5

The Knicks are in strong form and have the offensive firepower to cover the -12.5 spread. The Bulls' defensive struggles, combined with their recent poor form, make it unlikely they can keep this game close. Expect the Knicks to dominate at home and cover the spread.
