Prop Bets: Chicago Bulls VS New York Knicks 2025-11-02
Humorous Prediction: The Knicks Try to Keep Up While Jalen Brunson Shines
The New York Knicks, currently ranked 19th in offensive efficiency and nursing a 0-4 start, host the undefeated Chicago Bulls (5-0, league-leading in offensive/defensive ratings) on Sunday. The Bulls are 7.5-point underdogs (-115) despite being the league’s best team. Why? Because the Knicks’ offense is so bad, even a leaky faucet could outperform them.
Key Stat: The Knicks rank 29th in offensive rating (104.3) and have averaged just 104.3 points per game. The Bulls? They’re scoring 123.8 PPG. The spread is -7.5 for the Knicks, but honestly, I’d take the Bulls +7.5 just to watch the chaos.
Player Prop Pick: Jalen Brunson Over 27.5 Points (-108)
Brunson is the Knicks’ only reason to stay up late. He’s averaging 29.3 PPG (on 52% FG) and has eclipsed 27.5 points in 3 of 4 games. With the Knicks’ defense likely to crumble, Brunson might get easy buckets. Bet him to go over 27.5 points (-108) for a laugh and a profit.
Why? The Bulls’ defense is porous (29th in defensive rating), and Brunson’s 5.5 free throw attempts per game (2nd in the NBA) mean he’ll draw contact. Even if he shoots like a brick, the Knicks’ bench is too weak to stop him.
Final Score Prediction: Bulls 125, Knicks 110. The Knicks will thank their lucky stars for the 15-point cover, while Brunson drops 30.
Bonus Prop: Bet the Knicks to score fewer than 100 points (-110). It’s a lock.
