Chicago Bulls Form

Chicago return to action looking to snap a four-game losing skid that sent them into the All-Star break on a low.

The Bulls have been on a miserable run since Christmas, stringing together back-to-back wins just twice.

Their last victory came back on February 4 when they downed Miami 133-124 at home, and since then it has been all downhill.

Chicago were beaten 127-108 when they visited Minnesota, and they then returned home for a string of one-sided defeats.

The Bulls lost 132-111 to Golden State, before suffering back-to-back blowouts at the hands of Detroit, 132-92 and 128-110.

New York Knicks Form

New York resume their regular season campaign looking to continue a good run that saw them win nine of their last 11 games before the All-Star break.

The Knicks began that sequence with a five-game win streak to end January, which included victories over Memphis, 143-106, and Denver, 122-112.

That run was ended by a 128-112 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, but they bounced back immediately to beat Houston 124-118 at home and Toronto 121-115 on the road.

New York failed to make it three-in-a-row, losing 131-104 to Boston, only to again issue another quick response to a loss.

This time the Knicks won 128-115 in Indiana, before returning home to down Atlanta in overtime, 149-148.

Verdict

New York are simply the better team in better form as they 2024/25 season resumes.

We expect the Knicks to make straightforward work of a Chicago team whose season is already over.
