Bottom line Chicago Bulls sit nine places above New York Knicks, yet get 7 points at home. That is a generous margin, enough to cover.
Why
| Factor | Detail |
|---|---|
| Rank gap | Chicago Bulls are 6th, New York Knicks 15th, nine spots apart. It is rare for a higher ranked team to get points at home. |
| Margin check | The whole pick hinges on whether 7 points is enough. Even a loss within that margin still means Chicago Bulls +7 covers. |
| Rate movement | Home rate rose while away rate held steady. Market weight has not tilted toward Chicago Bulls. |
| News | New York Knicks, the defending champion, snapped their opening losing run with a first win. It is a positive sign, but too early to flip the 7 point gap. |
