New York at Chicago

New York is 1-3, and Chicago is 1-3, so the records tell you nothing. The scoring lines do. The Knicks' four games have totaled 206, 210, 213 and 208 points. They won Tuesday, 111-97, over a Detroit team that had started 3-0. New York trailed 38-25 after the first quarter, then outscored the Pistons 63-25 across the second and third. Karl-Anthony Towns had 27 points and 20 rebounds, and he now faces a Chicago frontcourt without Nic Claxton, who is out with a hamstring injury. Chicago has allowed 135, 125, 124 and 134 points, an average of 129.5. Its losses to Toronto and Boston were by 43 and 35. The Knicks played Tuesday night, and the Bulls last played Monday in Boston. No opponent has scored more than 111 against New York this season. Chicago's two highest-scoring games were a 132-125 win over Milwaukee and a 124-120 loss to Washington, which totaled 257 and 244. Milwaukee and Washington scored 125 and 124 in them, and New York has not let an opponent get near either figure. Chicago has made 28 of 124 threes in its first three games, and I'm backing New York ATS and the UNDER.
