Knicks vs Bulls Prediction
The Bulls and the free bucket at home is intriguing, given they just beat the Knicks a couple of days ago. However, it’s fair to say the Knicks are the better team, and they’re as healthy as they’ve been in a while given Randle is the only player on their injury report. The Bulls could be without Caruso, who is questionable with an ankle injury. While the Bulls are fighting for home court in the first play-in game, the Knicks have a chance to climb as high as the second seed in the East. The Knicks should and need to win this game to better its chances of playoff success. I’ll lay the bucket with the Knicks on the road.
