His recent performance has been nothing short of stellar, averaging 15.8 points, 6.2 boards, and 2.8 assists across his last five games. When he's on the road, those numbers bump up a notch-16.4 points and a solid 7.8 rebounds per game. Now, historically against the Bulls, Poeltl has found his rhythm, averaging about 11 points and 6 rebounds. With a strong hit rate of 4 out of his last 5 away games, he's clearly comfortable stepping up in hostile arenas. Add in an impressive overall hit rate of 5 out of 7, and it's hard to ignore the value here. Expect Poeltl to not just meet, but exceed that 22.5 mark when the Raptors

As the Raptors venture into Chicago, all eyes will be on Immanuel Quickley, and specifically on his assist numbers. While Quickley has been solid lately, averaging around 7 assists over his last five games, there's a compelling narrative that suggests he might fall short of the 6.5 mark in this matchup. Historically against the Bulls, he's averaged just 4.4 assists, and when playing away, that number drops slightly to 5. The pressure of an away game can alter a player's rhythm, making it tougher to find open teammates. Plus, Chicago's defense has been notably stingy, particularly against playmakers. With a high hit rate of 12 out of his last 17 away games hitting the under, backing Quickley for under 6.5 assists feels like a savvy play. Look for him to focus on scoring rather than playmaking in this crucial matchup.
