New York Knicks vs Chicago Bulls: prediction for the NBA match
In 2022 the clubs had a chance to cross paths once. It happened just under three months ago. Then Sacramento got a labor victory in its native walls (115:113). However, the favorite of the upcoming meeting, according to bookmakers, is still Miami.
New York Knicks
The national team of Kazakhstan for six rounds of the League of Nations managed to chalk up only one victory and a draw, which eventually brought four points and the last place. The Hawks lost at this stage to Albania, Belarus and Lithuania. In the selection for the World Championship 2022, Andrey Karpovich’s wards completely failed their performances. Not a single victory and three draws brought three points and the last place in the group. In the first match in Chisinau the yellow-blues won with a score of 2:1.
Chicago Bulls
There was a moment in the season when the team even led the Eastern Conference, but the competition forced it to drop to the fifth place. The Bulls still have the opportunity to return to the fight for first place, although there is not much time left. In the last meeting Chicago beat Cleveland on the road. There was a real struggle on the floor, but the guests played more accurately in attack and more reliable in defense (98-94). Zach Lavigne and DeMar DeRozan did their best as they ended up with 45 points.
Prediction
Three wins in a row inspire confidence, but we all know how unstable New York has been this season. The team continues to fight for the tenth line in the East, so now every loss of points will be equated with a failure. Chicago began to lose more often, but Billy Donovan's wards are still the leading team in the league. The Bulls are not particularly comfortable in away games, so it seems that the guests will face problems at Madison Square Garden. Our prediction is for a handicap (+7) points for the New York Knicks for odds of 1.70 in bookmaker 1xBet. None of the teams do not make their main emphasis on the attack. The hosts have problems with the squad, so most likely they will act tightly, that is, from defense. In this case, betting on total under looks like a good option. Second bet is for a total less than 229 points for 1.50. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.70. Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN.
