LiontipsNew York vs Chicago. Prediction and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Tom Thibodeau has created a new combat-ready team. His return to New York after 18 years was of key importance, this time in the status of the head coach. The impression is that the 63-year-old specialist has given his team wings, and now they have every chance to go to the playoffs directly.
New York had a streak of nine wins, but they were not ready physically to play against Phoenix. The club lost to the Suns in a hard struggle, no shame in a dignified loss to a strong opponent (110-118). Derrick Rose scored 22 points, like back in the good old days.
The Knicks had plenty of time to recover and work on their mistakes. Therefore, there is every chance to bounce back, because the guests are not the strongest of their opponents.
The Bulls are eager to play in the playoffs, but their unstable performance and the absence of Zach Avalanche mess all their plans. By the way, the team's leader is close to returning to the court, which everyone is expecting with high hopes.
Chicago had two games against Miami, the first of which the Bulls lost (101-106), and in the second Billy Donovan's men managed to get an upper hand (110-102). Nikola Vucevic once again proved his worth and became one of the best players among the guests.
The Bulls are targeting the top ten of the Eastern Conference, so the struggle will continue until the last match of the main tournament. So we are very interested in watching the club from Illinois play.

Tip and bets
At the moment, New York Knicks look more confident and generally show an almost ideal performance, if you do not take into account the latest setback. Chicago are also trying hard, because they want to finish the tournament in the top ten, moreover, they have strengthened their squad, with Nikola Vucevic immediately joining the main lineup. In our opinion, the guests are able to put up a good fight.
Our prediction - Chicago Bulls to win with a handicap (+8.5) points.
The Knicks are great in attack and will obviously try to show, who is the boss at Madison Square Garden. The Bulls must allow Nikola Vucevic, who is now the main threat to competitors, to shine, and since he is not planning on missing this game, we expect a high score.
Second wager - total over 202.5 points.
