Bulls vs. Knicks Odds & Betting Predictions - January 4, 2024

1st game w/ Knicks posted 17 pts, 6 rebs, 1 ast vs a tough T-Wolves team. Draws a much easier matchup vs a depleted Bulls team that ranks bottom 3rd in reb & ast allowed to opponents. Bulls also are bottom 3rd in 3pt allowed and this is where OG can spot up and do damage.

23 potentials last game lol this new lineup has so much better spacing

Great spot for OG against a premier opponent for spot up points (second highest frequency and fourth most ppg allowed) and off ball pts in general (7th most assists per game allowed). OG was a spot up guy on the Raptors, and should function in that same role for the Knicks - potentially with a bit more usage/on-ball stuff. 17 pts vs MIN (in a gross matchup) - and that’s pretty much where I have him projected rest of season (16-18 point range). But that’s incredibly variable at this point - relying more on the matchup here. And even if the Bulls punt this game or the Knicks pull away, OG looks like he’ll start the 4Q as part of his rotation - Thibs will play him at least 32 mins, barring foul trouble.
