Prediction:
Do you really want to give six points with the Bulls? I’d rather take my chances with New York keeping this one competitive. The Knicks were blasted at home the other night, but prior to that they beat the Mavs straight up and have had a few impressive performances this season. I’m going to bank on them having another good showing against a team that hasn’t had much more success than them.
