Staff Prediction

The Chicago Bulls have been somewhat disappointing to start the season due to key injuries to guys such as Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso. The Bulls do come into this won having win their last 2 games. The Knicks come into this one as arguably the hottest team in the NBA, winning 8 of their last 9 games. They did lose last time out, however. I believe the Knicks are not as good as the last 9 games indicate, and DeMar DeRozan is coming off 3 straight games with at least 24 points. I don't know if the Bulls will win this game, but they will at least cover the 5.5 points.

Staff Pick CHI ATS (+5.5)
