New York Knicks Form
New York head to Chicago having snapped a three-game losing skid with their first win of the season.
The Knicks – the defending NBA champions – opened the campaign with a 106-100 home defeat at the hands of Philadelphia.
They then went out on the road to lose 107-103 in Boston, before returning home for a 111-102 defeat to Orlando.
New York finally ended their drought on Tuesday though, as they took down a red-hot Detroit team at the Garden, 111-97.
Karl-Anthony Towns was the star of the show with 27 points and 20 rebounds in his double-double, while Jalen Brunson put up 23 points to go along with seven assists.
Chicago Bulls Form
Chicago come into this matchup having failed to build on their first win of the season, losing back-to-back games to fall to 1-3.
The Bulls endured a rough start as they travelled to Toronto and suffered a 135-92 blowout defeat at the hands of the Raptors.
They rebounded in Milwaukee as they erased a big deficit to beat the Bucks 132-125, but they have not won since.
Chicago were beaten 124-120 by Washington in their home opener, before heading back out on the road for a 134-99 hammering at the hands of Boston.
Nick Powell led the Bulls in scoring in Boston with 20 points, while talented rookie Caleb Wilson was held to 17 points.
Verdict
New York needed that win over Orlando to kick-start their season, and now we expect them to follow that up.
Chicago are giving up far too many points and are digging themselves into massive holes routinely, so a Knicks win and cover looks likely here.
