Maybe the All-Star break came at the right time for the Bulls, who looked in need of a rest after losses in four straight, all by 18 points or more. The defense also collapsed in the two weeks before the break, allowing 128 ppg across the last six games, over in five of those. If recent form carries through the break, the Knicks look like the worst team Chicago could face. NY's offense has been on fire, scoring 125 ppg the last five, while over six straight and eight of nine. Among the scorchers have been familiar names Karl-Anthony Towns, off back-to-back 40+-point games, and Jalen Brunson, scoring at a 30 ppg pace his last five into the break. Play Bulls-Knicks Over.

Karl-Anthony Towns had back-to-back games with at least 40 points before the All-Star break. This is another great matchup against a Bulls team that has played at the third-fastest pace and has the fourth-worst defensive rating in the league. The first time he faced them this season, he scored 46 points. The second time, he scored 44. Take the over.
