Best NBA player prop bet: Matas Buzelis (CHI) Under 15.5 points + rebounds (-108)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing
Matas Buzelis has had his moments to start his sophomore year. He was a Most Improved Player candidate coming into the year, but has been overshadowed by Josh Giddey’s play. Now that Coby White is back to full strength, Buzelis is taking more of a backseat. White is averaging a 30% usage rate, while Buzelis is averaging 18% — fourth among starters during that span. Fewer than 10 field-goal attempts in 4 of his last 5 games is not an encouraging sign for a Bulls team that is a +7.5 road underdog to the Cavaliers, who come into this game after losing by 16 to this same Bulls team. Expect another ball-dominant performance from White and Giddey, with Nikola Vucevic chiming in.
