Jakob Poeltl (Toronto Raptors) Over 22.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-127)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Raptors roll into Chicago, Jakob Poeltl is primed for a standout performance. Averaging 16.4 points and 7.8 rebounds on the road in his last five outings, he's found a nice rhythm away from home. Against the Bulls, who often struggle to contain versatile big men, Poeltl has averaged 11 points and 6.6 rebounds in past matchups. What's more, he's been on a tear lately, hitting the combined points, rebounds, and assists total in five of his last seven games. With an expected stat value soaring to 26.51, the 22.5 mark looks within reach. The Bulls' defense will have their hands full, and Poeltl's ability to impact the game on multiple levels makes this prop bet highly enticing. If he continues his away form, expect him to eclipse that 22.5 threshold with ease.

Immanuel Quickley (Toronto Raptors) Under 6.5 Assists (-154)

As Immanuel Quickley steps into Chicago's United Center, it's a good time to consider betting on the under for his assists at 6.5. While he's averaged a solid 7 assists over his last five games, his performance away from home tells a different story-averaging just 6.6 assists. Against the Bulls, Quickley's distribution has dipped to about 4.4 assists in their past encounters, and even in away games, he's only managed 5 assists against them recently.With the Raptors' offensive flow likely constricted by Chicago's defensive schemes, Quickley might find it tough to facilitate scoring opportunities. Given his last 20 outings, he's only hit the over in 14 of them, and his away performance is particularly concerning. Expect a tighter game, and Quickley to settle closer to that expected stat value of 5.38. This makes the under a compelling play.
