Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Joel Embiid at home, he's practically unstoppable, and Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls should be no different. Embiid has been a scoring machine, averaging an impressive 34 points over his last five games at the Wells Fargo Center. Against the Bulls, who have struggled to contain elite big men, he's notched an average of nearly 34 points in their recent matchups. With a remarkable 20-game streak of hitting the over on 19.5 points, Embiid's confidence is soaring, and the numbers back it up-he's projected to score around 28 points in this matchup. The Bulls will have their hands full, especially with Embiid dominating the paint. Expect him to assert his presence early and often, making the over on 19.5 points not just a possibility, but a strong likelihood. This is a prime spot for Embiid to shine.

Leonard Miller (Chicago Bulls) Under 5.5 Rebounds (-132)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the 76ers prepare to take on the Bulls, Leonard Miller's rebounding numbers tell a compelling story. Averaging just over 4 boards in recent games, he's been held under 5.5 in a remarkable 14 of his last 20 outings. Why this trend? When playing away, Miller's performance dips even further; he's hit the under in 16 of his last 20 away games. Against a physical Bulls squad, Miller will face stiff competition for those rebounds, especially with Chicago's frontcourt featuring some solid rebounders. Plus, the 76ers' game plan often prioritizes perimeter shooting, limiting his chances to snag those boards. With the implied probability sitting at 56.8% for him to stay under 5.5, the data strongly favors the under. Given these trends and matchups, targeting Miller for fewer than 5.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play.

Nick Richards (Chicago Bulls) Under 7.5 Rebounds (+104)

As Nick Richards rolls into Philadelphia, expectations are high, but the odds suggest a quieter night on the boards. Averaging 7.2 rebounds over his last five games, he has shown a slight uptick on the road, pulling down about 8.8. However, when facing off against the 76ers, his numbers dip significantly; he's averaging just 6 rebounds per game in away matchups against this formidable opponent.Digging deeper, Richards has only cleared the 7.5 mark in 11 of his last 20 games, and impressively, the under has hit 13 out of 18 times on the road. With an expected stat value of 6.55, it seems that the 76ers' size and defensive prowess could stifle his rebounding efforts. In what might be a tightly contested affair, targeting the under on Richards feels like a savvy play worth making.
