What to Know
The Chicago Bulls haven’t won a contest against the New York Knicks since Dec. 2 of last year, but they’ll be looking to end the drought Friday. Chicago’s road trip will continue as they head to Madison Square Garden at 7:30 p.m. ET to face off against New York. The Bulls will be strutting in after a win while the Knicks will be stumbling in from a loss.
Chicago was expected to lose against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, but instead they received a nice stocking stuffer. Chicago ultimately received the gift of a 110-108 victory from a begrudging Atlanta squad. Small forward DeMar DeRozan (28 points) was the top scorer for Chicago.
Meanwhile, New York came up short against the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, falling 113-106. Point guard Jalen Brunson wasn’t much of a difference maker for the Knicks; Brunson finished with only seven points on 3-for-14 shooting and turned the ball over five times in his 39 minutes on the court.
The Bulls are expected to lose this next one by 5.5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.
New York’s defeat took them down to 18-14 while Chicago’s victory pulled them up to 13-18. In their win, Chicago relied heavily on DeMar DeRozan, who had 28 points and five assists along with six boards. New York will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
