Josh Giddey (CHI) Over 27.5 points+rebounds+assists (-115)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.
The Chicago Bulls have put themselves in purgatory. They traded away Zach Lavine to the Sacramento Kings at the deadline but decided to hold on to Nikola Vucevic – the 34-year-old center in his 5th season suiting up for the Bulls. He’s been in trade talks well over the last 3 seasons. They’ll find themselves as a 1st round exit in the play-in tournament or miss out on the playoffs entirely. One of the few bright spots for the Bulls is Josh Giddey, the 22-year-old point guard who can stuff the stat sheet.
Giddey has enjoyed high usage games with Lavine shipped away. He’s averaging 14 field goal attempts per game over his last five played – Going over his 27.5 points+rebounds+assists line in 3 of those games while landing on 27 two games ago. Giddey and the Bulls will challenge a Pistons team with a total of 237.5 points. In the Lavine and DeMar DeRozan era, the Bulls identity was playing slow, but that has shifted this season, as they rank in the top 5 in pace of play — perfect for Giddey’s style.
