Knicks vs Bulls Prediction, Odds & How to Watch – Sunday, February 22

The Chicago Bulls (24‑33) return to United Center desperate to halt an eight‑game losing streak as they host the New York Knicks (36‑21). New York enters as a heavy 10.5‑point favorite, with the total set at 231.5.

The Knicks have been dominant as favorites, winning 32 of 46 such contests, while the Bulls have struggled mightily, dropping nine of their last ten. Chicago’s offense, led by Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis, averages 116.4 points per game, but their defense allows 120.5, ranking 26th in the league.

The Knicks, meanwhile, boast a top‑five defense (112 points allowed per game) and a balanced attack with Jalen Brunson and Karl‑Anthony Towns. With Chicago’s injuries piling up and New York surging, this matchup sets the stage for a potential blowout, though the Bulls will fight to keep it close at home.

Best Bet for Knicks vs Bulls

Best Bet: Bulls +10.5 (-110) at DraftKings

Despite Chicago’s struggles, the spread is wide enough to make the Bulls the value play. New York has been strong ATS as double‑digit favorites (7‑3‑1), but the Bulls have covered in two of five games as underdogs of 10.5 or more.

Chicago averages 116.4 points per game, just 4.4 more than New York allows, and they’ve gone 23‑13‑1 ATS when scoring more than 112 points. The Knicks’ defense is elite, but their offense averages 117.7 points, not typically producing blowouts unless opponents collapse.

With home‑court advantage and desperation to end their skid, Chicago should keep this within single digits. The total of 231.5 leans toward the over, as both teams combine for 234.1 points per game, but the ATS edge lies with the Bulls.

Same‑Game Parlay Picks

3‑Leg SGP (Safer)

Bulls +10.5
Jalen Brunson 20+ points
Game total Over 231.5
Combined Odds: +310

This safer parlay ties Chicago’s ability to cover with Brunson’s scoring consistency and the likelihood of both teams pushing the pace. If the Bulls’ offense shows up, the over aligns naturally with their defensive struggles.

Longshot SGP

Knicks -15 alt spread
Towns 12+ rebounds
Giddey 8+ assists
Combined Odds: +950

The longshot parlay banks on New York dominating, Towns controlling the glass, and Giddey facilitating Chicago’s offense. This combination reflects a game flow where the Knicks pull away while the Bulls lean on ball movement.
