Bulls vs. Knicks Odds & Betting Predictions - February 21, 2025

With Josh Hart out here tonight, I’m loving this spot for Precious on the glass. Josh Hart is a monster on the glass and his absence should give others a lot of extra rebound chances. With KAT likely guarding Vuc, I’d expect Precious to benefit the most from it. Vuc tends to pull his man out of the paint a good bit which hopefully allows Precious a few extra/easier rebounds. We cashed out on this same angle with Josh Hart against the Bulls earlier this season and I think this time around it will be Precious who benefits and racks up the rebounds

The Huddle got it first, playable at 27.5 as well. Towns has dominated against the Bulls scoring 44 and 46 points per game this season. Now, he gets another matchup against them. While the Knicks will miss Josh Hart, KAT actually sees a slight uptick in his scoring without him on the floor. The Bulls are an absolute sieve to Centers this season. They allow the second most points to Centers and the most points in the paint per game. They play at the third-fastest Pace in the league and this is a prime Pace Up spot for KAT and the Knicks. I’ll back KAT to have a big game once again against the Bulls.

Precious has hit this in 5 of L6 overall averaging 16 rebound chances per game on 34.88 mpg. He has the highest rebound rate differential on the Knicks with Josh Hart off the court (+2.28%), averaging 11.36 per 36. KAT will still get his, but Achiuwa should be in position plenty as Vucevic likes to shoot from above the break, leaving KAT further from the rim on the contest. In the one game with KAT & w/o Hart, Achiuwa grabbed 10 boards on 15 chances against MIN. The Bulls allow the 5th most rebounds to PF L15.
