Knicks vs Bulls prediction
The Bulls are fighting for positioning in the play-in tournament, and the Knicks are hoping to stay out of the play-in tournament. The Bulls probably have the edge at home with the rest advantage. However, the Bulls are unpredictable and have a handful of bad losses. Despite hiccups lately, the Knicks are the better, more trustworthy team, and they’ve won 4 of the last 5 games against the Bulls. Near pick em spot, I’m going with the team that I trust more, and that’s the Knicks. The Bulls have taken one step forward and two steps back all year.
