00:00Game number two, we'll look at the Chicago Bulls and the New York Knicks.

00:02You saw the Knicks last night in Philadelphia beat the Philadelphia 76ers by double-digit points.

00:07They're probably going to need another one of those same efforts tonight to cover the spread from the Chicago Bulls.

00:12This line opened up at Fandua at nine, now sits at eight.

00:14A total that's up from .227 to .231.

00:18The Bulls and the Knicks tonight here.

00:20Can the Knicks do it again on back-to-back days?

00:23I think they can, Donnie.

00:24That was a real momentum builder from what we saw last night.

00:28They blitzed them in that fourth quarter against the 76ers.

00:32I mean, Carl Anthony Towns, he's been playing some fantastic basketball.

00:36And you look at this matchup, the physicality, it's a bit of a mismatch there for the Bulls in the paint.

00:40So I think the Knicks back at home, that may be enough of that spark to rally them and get it done.

00:46But again, some big spreads here for a couple of teams who could be a little sluggish, you know, a little slow out of the starting block.

00:54So again, eight and a half.

00:56I like the Knicks to win this one straight up with that total sitting at .231.

01:00I don't know if we get to that mark for the Bulls.

01:03They're missing a couple of their star weapons.

01:06Lonzo Ball, he's obviously out.

01:07Zach Levine listed as a game-time decision.

01:11But their rocks or diamonds a little inconsistent.

01:14So really tough for me to approach that game total.

01:17I like the unders in this one.

01:18We can see it's already dropped a point and a half.

01:21They're now sitting at .229.

01:24Taking a look here at the anticipated starting lineups.

01:26I do have Giddy White and Levine anticipated in that starting lineup, as you said, a game-time decision tonight.

01:30Williams and Vucevic.

01:31And then we take a look at the New York Knicks.

01:33Brunson, Bridges, Hart, Ananobi, and Carl Anthony Towns.

01:36So that starting lineup looks good to go tonight here.
