Season series: Knicks lead 1-0 with 133-127 (Over 233.5) win Oct. 28 at Chicago (+7.5)
The Bulls and Knicks will have a battle between 2 teams hoping to turn around their starts to the 2026-27 NBA season. Even so, there is one team that has clearly stands on a better leg currently.
The Bulls head to New York looking to snap a 5-game losing streak, which includes their a loss to the Knicks last week. More recently, Chicago has fell in 2 blowout losses to the Boston
Celtics (125-111) and Philadelphia 76ers (126-107).
Last time out, No. 4 overall pick at the 2026 NBA Draft, F Caleb Wilson (21.6 points, 6.7 rebounds per game), paced the Bulls with 24 points and 7 rebounds. G Norman Powell (20.3 PPG) added another 18 points and G Josh Giddey (9.1 PGG, 7.9 assists per game) had a double-double with 13 points and 10 assists. It just wasn't enough for the young, rebuilding side against the star-studded Sixers lineup which saw Philadelphia pull away in the second half.
On the flip side, the Knicks--who have lost twice to the 76ers already this season--head into Wednesday with a win Monday against the Brooklyn Nets in a 103-90 fashion. It was not the usual suspects thriving for the Knicks in that one. G Jalen Brunson (24.6 PPG, 5.3 APG) had 19 points and 6 assists, while F OG Anunoby (16.4 PPG, 5.6 RPG) added another 18 points. But it was G Landry Shamet (9.7 PPG) with 22 points off the bench to lead the Knicks for their 15th straight win against their cross-town rival. Can New York use that as a spring board for a winning streak?
The Knicks are 1-6 both against the spread (ATS) and on point totals this season. Meanwhile, the Bulls are 3-4 ATS and 4-3 Over/Under (O/U).

Bulls at Knicks picks and predictions
Prediction
Knicks 111, Bulls 105
Moneyline
PASS.
The Knicks (-625) do not have any value on the moneyline.
Against the spread
BET BULLS +12.5 (-115).
The Bulls already lost to the Knicks as big underdogs but the spread did cover. That should happen again. At this rate, the Knicks still don't look like a team that's ready to fully turn it on and Chicago have had a knack for doing right by the bettors. It might be a few late scores for a back door cover, but ride with this big Bulls numbers.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 233.5 (-110).
This matchup screams Under. Ironically, the Over hit in the first meeting, the only time New York has done that this season. But the last 2 outings for the Bulls, the Under landed, and it has in 8 of the last 10 for the Knicks.
