Knicks vs. Bulls Odds & Betting Predictions - January 5, 2025

THE BOUNCE 📽️: 9.39 Rebs Hart has been a rebound machine of late, with 11 rebounds in 5 of his last 6. He failed to get there last game, but if you were watching, KAT literally absorbed almost every rebound. Hart still compiled a massive 18 rebound chances last game, despite only 7 rebounds. That was second best on the team. Hart now finds himself in a better matchup, with CHI allowing the 3rd most Rebs/game to SG's. They also love to run the floor, ranking 2nd overall in pace. Like this spot for Hart to get back on track and Thibs has shown us he's not afraid of dealing massive workloads.

📊 Projection ~ 242.6

KAT and the Knicks face off against the Chicago Bulls after a disappointing loss to the Thunder last night. KAT was a monster on the glass but it wasn’t an ideal matchup for him to score, here, he should be able to get his. This is a matchup KAT has thrived in against Vucevic. He has scored 27, 33, and 46 points in three games over the last few seasons with the 46 coming earlier this season. The Bulls have been a sieve defensively in general this year but more specifically to the Center position. They’ve given up big games to Mark Williams, Brook Lopez, Kristaps Porzingis, and Joel Embiid just in the past few weeks. When you couple this advantage with their number 3 Pace in the NBA and this sets up for points. I’ll back KAT to exceed 23.5 points in this spot.
