1.88Tip and bets
Bookmakers experts consider New York to be the clear favorite of the upcoming match. In their opinion, Chicago will have little chance of success. And that is true. The Knicks do not have any particular problems with their roster at the start of the championship. The Bulls, however, show that they are once again unable to show stable results. Billy Donovan charges will lose the game against their principal rival.
Our prediction is a New York victory with a handicap of (-6.5) points, taking into account overtime, at 1.71
Bet on individual total
New York has shown acceptable performance this season. The average is 114.1 points per game. In home games it is slightly higher - 114.9. And this time everything is going to the fact that the Knicks will be able to improve their statistics.
Our prediction is New York individual total over 119.5 points including overtime at 2.08
Bet on the player
Brunson played 77 games in the regular season that ended and averaged 28.7 points per game. This season, his rate is slightly lower — 24.3. But the 28-year-old point guard has definitely not lost his basic skills. The American basketball player will be able to cause a lot of trouble for the opponent defense.
Our prediction is Brunson total points over 26.5 including overtime at 1.87
