I started out the month of December with a dreadful 0-3 night. I thought I had made the proper adjustments in CBB, but that’s clearly not the case. For the time being, I will be focusing on NBA, NFL, and of course CFB. I’m rolling with this lone NBA play for tonight before getting geared up for the football weekend!
*NBA(1u): Knicks +2(-110) vs Bulls–6:40 PM CT
These teams have split their first two meetings of the season and are pretty evenly matched. Even so, I think the wrong team is favored here. The Knicks have had a pretty mediocre 11-10 start to the season, but they have looked better in their last two games. They picked up a 9 point win on the road in Atlanta(the Hawks have been one of the best home teams in the league over the past few seasons) and lost by 2 to the Nets in a true coin flip game. The Knicks likely feel slighted after a late call didn’t go there way in that Nets loss, and I’m always willing to trust Tom Thiboeau-coached teams in the regular season. After a very hot start to the season, Chicago has regressed over the last few weeks; they enter this game having lost 3 out of their last 5. I give New York the edge in this game because of their excellent perimeter defense. The talent is pretty even between these two teams, but I believe the Knicks play more complimentary basketball.
