\"The
The New York Knicks currently own the longest active winning streak in the NBA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York has won 13 games in a row, including a 120-99 victory over the Washington Wizards as 8.5-point home favorites Tuesday night, while going OVER the total for a second consecutive contest.\u00a0 The Knicks have been led on the offensive end by forward Carmelo Anthony, who is currently leading the NBA in scoring.\u00a0 \u201cI just think Melo, he\u2019s been on a nice run,\u201d commented Knicks coach Mike Woodson.\u00a0 He has averaged 34.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in two meetings with the Bulls this season.\u00a0 New York is 3-5 ATS as road favorites of 3.5 to 6 points, with the OVER going 5-4 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Knicks have lost their first three games against the Bulls this season, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NBA picks against the spread Thursday night.\u00a0 New York will also lean heavily on the play of point guard Raymond Felton, who is averaging 24.0 points and 5.5 assists in two meetings in the series.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to note that the club has failed to cover the number in its last four games versus the team that hails from the Windy City.<\/p>\n

Chicago has dropped back-to-back games, including a 101-98 setback to the Toronto Raptors as 3.5-point home favorites Tuesday night, while going OVER the total for the first time in five contests.\u00a0 The Bulls have enjoyed great success behind the arc against the Knicks, as they\u2019ve hit 47.6 percent of their shots from the distance, which is far different than their 34.5 mark for the entire 2012-13 campaign.\u00a0 Chicago is 1-5 ATS at home when the total is between 190 and 194.5, with the UNDER going 5-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Bulls are 22-17 overall at the United Center, including a 16-7 mark versus Eastern Conference foes.\u00a0 Chicago last swept a season series against New York in 2004-05, which is important to consider when looking over the pro basketball odds page.\u00a0 Injuries have hit this roster in a big way, with numerous players likely sitting this one out.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Knicks due to their 17-4 ATS mark in their last 21 games, while the Bulls are 1-5 ATS in their last six contests.<\/p>\n
