Why The Knicks Can Cover The Spread

The Knicks started 5-1 this season, but are 4-6 since. New York has struggled defensively this season while improving on the offensive end. The offseason additions of Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier likely have something to do with both of those things. New York will be at a rest disadvantage on Sunday as they beat the Rockets at home on Saturday night before traveling to Chicago. New York ranks as an average team so far in terms of efficiency, as they possess as +0.7 net rating. While they are still led by Julius Randle, the Knicks have a more balanced offensive attack this season. The road team may be in a difficult spot on Sunday evening as the Bulls are on their home floor and well rested. The Knicks have yet to release their injury report due to the back-to-back. New York is 4-1 vs. the spread in their last five games.

Chicago is scoring 109.5 points per 100 possessions, and allowing allowing 104.1 points per 100 possessions. They rank in the top-7 in the NBA in both categories, one of only three teams to do that so far this season. The Bulls will have a rest advantage on Sunday, as they last played on Friday.
