Bulls parlay picks to compare
| Player & prop | Odds | With this result | All appearances |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jalen Brunson Under 6.5 assists New York, this season |
+109 | 100.0% 4 of 4 Knicks losses |
71.4% 5 of 7 appearances |
| Tre Jones Over 8.5 points Chicago, since October 2025 |
−123 | 82.1% 23 of 28 Bulls wins |
77.8% 56 of 72 appearances |
Jalen Brunson under 6.5 assists
Brunson had three, four, four and six assists in the Knicks’ four losses this season. He stayed under in five of seven games overall, and the two misses were both seven-assist wins. He’s projected for about 35 minutes, and he finished with six in the loss where he played exactly 35. One more assist that night would have beaten the under.
The +109 is the longer individual price here. From October 21, 2025, through the end of last regular season, Brunson stayed under in 11 of 24 Knicks losses. The recent split gives you a reason to look at the line if you expect Chicago to limit his passing opportunities, and that longer record shows how often he’s found seven even in a loss.
Tre Jones over 8.5 points
Jones scored at least nine in five of seven appearances this season, including 11 in 24 minutes in Chicago’s lone win. The longer record covers regular-season Chicago games since October 21, 2025. He reached nine in 23 of 28 wins and 56 of 72 appearances overall in that span.
Jones is projected for about 18 minutes off the bench. He’s reached double figures twice in 18 minutes this season, but he scored eight in 19 minutes in his latest game. At −123, the over fits if you expect him to get enough chances with the second unit, and another eight-point night would leave him one short.
Two ways to build around Chicago
Brunson’s under asks Chicago to limit what he creates for teammates. Jones’s over asks the Bulls to get some scoring from their bench. Brunson pays more on his own, with four losses to go on this season. Jones has a longer record in wins, but you’ll want to be comfortable with the shorter shift.
