Knicks vs. Bulls: NBA First Basket Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions (Friday)

This will be the second meeting in three nights for these two teams. In the first matchup the Knicks pulled away in overtime to get the win. They were led by performances by Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle. I’ll be targeting the latter on Friday night.

Even with adding the free agent point guard Brunson, Randle has still been the straw that stirs the drink in New York. When it comes to First Baskets, Randle has been the guy as well. He’s scored the Knicks’ first field goal in 13 of 28 games and he’s been attempting 1.4 of the first three field goal attempts (an indicative stat for First Basket) for the Knicks over his last 10 starts. I just don’t expect much to change in his role in this game.

Randle should pick up right where he left off Wednesday night and that starts with cashing at First Basket

Picks: Julius Randle (+600)
