The SportsLine Projection Model, which has returned nearly $19,000 in profit on top-rated NBA picks since 2018, simulates the matchup 10,000 times and leans toward the Under on the total. The model projects 231 combined points, with the Under hitting in 56% of simulations. It also projects Bulls players Caleb Wilson and Norman Powell to score 16 or more points, while Knicks stars Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and OG Anunoby are each projected to exceed 17 points. The model indicates one side of the spread hits in nearly 60% of simulations. The game will be streamed on Fubo.
