New York Knicks Form

New York head to Chicago looking to get back to winning ways after losing consecutive outings to fall to 2-2.

The Knicks opened the season with back-to-back games at Madison Square Garden, and they took full advantage of that for a 2-0 start.

They opened with a 119-111 victory over Cleveland, and followed that up with a 105-95 success against Boston.

New York failed to keep that momentum going when they went out on the road though, losing 115-107 when they visited Miami.

The Knicks then moved on to Milwaukee where they suffered a 121-111 defeat at the hands of the Bucks.

Chicago Bulls Form

Chicago have been the surprise package of the NBA so far, opening the season with four consecutive wins.

The Bulls kicked off the campaign at home to Detroit, and they made a successful start with a 115-111 win over Pistons.

They backed that up in their first road game of the season, beating Orlando 110-98, and the wins have kept coming since they returned home.

Chicago made it three-in-a-row on Monday night as they took down Atlanta, winning 128-123.

The Bulls then followed that up on Wednesday as they beat a Sacramento team featuring former stars DeMar Derozan and Zach Lavine, 126-113.

Verdict

New York have failed to maintain their momentum with back-to-back road defeats, while Chicago have started fast.

They are winning games and covering consistently, and they did take two of the three meetings with the Knicks last season, so give us the Bulls and the points.
