New York Knicks 1-10 win margin over Chicago Bulls (+240)
Don’t look now, but here come the Knicks. New York has won 4 games in a row, including beating the Cavaliers, Hawks and Kings. In that 4-game span, the Knicks rank 1st in net rating and have held opponents to less than 100 points in 3 of those 4 games. The starting 5 for New York has developed excellent chemistry, and it also helps to have Immanuel Quickley being the first guy off the bench. Jalen Brunson is questionable for this matchup, so it’s important to keep an eye on his status. However, New York has not played since Sunday night, so I do expect Brunson to suit up.
The Bulls have a strong starting five featuring DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, but they lack depth in their bench which has been Chicago’s Achilles heel all season. The Knicks are playing better basketball right now, so they have value as underdogs.

Nikola Vucevic 3+ Made Threes (+330)
Vucevic has enjoyed a solid spell of games against the Knicks if we disregard the most recent meeting. Prior to that, he had a stretch of 3 games where he scored 3, 3 and 5 three-pointers, going over 20 points in all 3 of those games. New York’s perimeter defense hasn’t been all that good this season — they allow the 5th-most threes per game at 13.1 a contest. On the road, that number is at 13.9 per game, so the Bulls will get plenty of chances to shoot from distance here.
Vucevic is making 2 threes per game in 5 games played this month. He’s scored 3 threes once in his last 3 games, which came against the Washington Wizards at United Center. In home games, he’s making them at 43.2% efficiency, which is really impressive for a player of his size. New York has allowed at least one opposing player to score 3 threes in their last 2 games, so hopefully Vucevic can continue that streak tonight.
