Bulls vs. Knicks: NBA First Basket Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions (Friday)
This will be the third matchup between these two teams in the last two weeks. In the first meeting, Julius Randle led the way with 31 points in a close Knicks victory. Two nights later, Randle scored 19 on 16 shots in 10 fewer minutes because the Knicks won in the blowout. In Friday’s rematch, I’m targeting Randle again.
Randle is always a sure bet to attempt a lot of field goals, and high volume leads to high opportunity. Randle is the guy to score the Knicks’ early field goals, scoring the first field goal for the Knicks in 14 of 32 starts on the season. The Bulls pose an interesting matchup for Randle as they’ll rely on a young Patrick Williams to keep Randle, a huge matchup threat for most teams, in check.
I like Randle to pick up where he left off against the Knicks last week and score us a first-basket prop win tonight.
Pick: Julius Randle (+390)
