Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks live: quarter-by-quarter basketball betting

This page follows Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks while it is being played, one possession at a time. Regular time in Basketball depends on the competition: 48 minutes made up of four 12-minute quarters, or 40 minutes made up of four 10-minute quarters, while American college games use two halves of 20 minutes. Which format applies to NBA is set by that event's regulations. Whatever the length, points keep coming, and every price on the event is recalculated as the scoreboard ticks over.

At the top of the event you will see the current quarter with the game clock, followed by the score between Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks. Below it sits a quarter-by-quarter grid with each team's points per period, so it takes a second to tell who won which part of the game. The scheduled tip-off, 05.11.2026 01:30, stays visible as a reference when several games are running side by side.

A game tied in the final seconds can spill into overtime, piling on extra points and opening a separate market on who takes that extra period.

🏀 Including Overtime versus regular time

On the live basketball list, every game card carries the label Including Overtime. It means the main markets shown on that card take overtime into account if the teams are level after the fourth quarter. The same card also lists 1 no OT, X and 2 no OT: that market ends at the regulation buzzer, and a draw remains a valid result.

Inside the event for Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks, the split appears again under two names: Team Wins, with only two outcomes, and 1X2 In Regular Time, with three. The rules add that bets on stats include overtime unless stated otherwise. One detail catches people out: for events labeled Including Overtime, handicap and total bets on the fourth quarter or the second half are settled without the overtime points.

This is why two very different prices can sit on the same team. One pays for a win that may come in overtime, the other demands a win inside regulation. Late in the fourth quarter, with only a few points between the sides, the gap between those two prices reflects how likely a tie has become. Games that have not tipped off yet, with their pre-game odds, are listed in pre-game basketball markets.

An odds figure states an estimated probability before it states a payout.

📈 Spreads, totals and team totals in play

Basketball lines never sit still. On the event page the total comes as a long ladder of thresholds, each with Over and Under, and the handicap is shown from both sides, plus for one team and minus for the other. Next to them, Total 1 and Total 2 isolate the points of a single team, which suits a game where one offence is clicking no matter what the defence across the floor does.

As the clock runs down, all these lines tighten around the real score: a spread drawn up before the game says very little once a ten-point gap has opened on the scoreboard.

A turnover converted into a fast break costs twice over: you lose your own points and concede an easy basket straight after, something the score margin only half explains.

📊 The quarter grid: reading the game and settling bets

The grid first helps you read the game. A team with a big lead may have built it in a single quarter and lost the other three. It then settles several markets. For Highest Scoring Quarter, if two or more quarters end with the same total, bets on those quarters are settled at odds of 1 and bets on the others lose; the fourth quarter is counted without overtime. Score By Quarters, Handicap By Quarters and Win By Quarters are settled on the result at the end of regular time only.

The box score never shows who is running on empty: heavy minutes without rest, a player just back from injury, a rotation kept too short — all of it decides the last quarter and appears nowhere.

⏸️ When a game is cut short

A game that begins but never reaches the end has its bets settled at odds of 1, apart from any market whose result was already known at the stoppage. The rules do set a minimum amount of play, though. In a 40-minute game at least 35 minutes must be played; in a 48-minute game, at least 40. Beyond that mark the bets remain valid, using the scoreboard at the point of interruption. Either way, the per-quarter grid shows exactly how far the game had gone, which makes the threshold easy to check for yourself.

Take time to study head-to-head records and recent figures rather than relying on instinct alone.

📝 From the click to a settled slip

A live bet only exists once the server has registered it and the confirmation appears on screen; after that it is final and cannot be edited or deleted. Selections on Chicago Bulls - New York Knicks can be played as singles or combined with other games. Viewing odds is open to everyone, but confirming a slip requires you to open a 1xBet account in Algeria.

If the outcome looks settled before the final buzzer, you can cash in the whole slip or part of it through Bet slip sale, found in the My Bets tab or in your account history. Not every slip will receive an offer, and the amount quoted cannot be negotiated. A partial sale keeps the rest of the stake running until the game is settled.

Every match gives you two ways to play.
