Knicks vs Bulls Prediction

The Knicks have done a great job of beating up on bad teams and they’ve been fatalistic at home. However, this is a lot of points for a Knicks team that can’t be motivated, especially with the Hawks on deck. Also, the Knicks haven’t cashed a ticket since March 22. The Knicks are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games. The Bulls have a CVS receipt for an injury report but they’ve still cashed 35 tickets due to similar lines like this. The underdog has covered 7 of the last 9 games between the Knicks and Bulls. Since February 10 the Knicks are 3-5 ATS as a double-digit favorite. Give me the points with the Bulls.
