Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers) Over 19.5 Points (-233)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Philadelphia 76ers host the Chicago Bulls, all eyes should be on Joel Embiid, and for good reason. The big man has been on an absolute tear lately, averaging 29 points in his last five games and an impressive 34 at home. Against the Bulls, he's found even more success, racking up an average of 30.6 points in their recent matchups. What's particularly striking is that Embiid hasn't just been good; he's been unstoppable. He's hit the Over on 19.5 points in all of his last 20 games, and when playing at home, he's done it in all 13 of those contests. The Bulls' defense has struggled to contain dominant centers, and with Embiid's current form, we're leaning heavily on him to eclipse that 19.5 mark once again. It feels almost like a foregone conclusion-Embiid is primed for a big night.

Paul George (Philadelphia 76ers) Under 23.5 Points + Assists (-125)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the 76ers gear up to face the Bulls, all eyes will be on Paul George, but the smart money is on the under for his combined points and assists at 23.5. Despite the allure of playing at home, George has been averaging just 16 points and 4.2 assists over his last five games, hardly the kind of production you'd expect from a star. Against Chicago, he's managed only 16.6 points in recent matchups, and his assist numbers dip to a mere 3.4 when they come to town.Digging deeper, his home performances reflect a similar trend. With a hit rate of only 15 out of 17 for this prop, it's clear he's been consistently falling short. This season, his expected output of 18.92 aligns with the under, making it a compelling play. When you blend all this in, taking the under becomes a savvy move in what could be a tightly contested game.

Josh Giddey (Chicago Bulls) Under 36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Bulls head into Philadelphia, all eyes will be on Josh Giddey. While his playmaking skills are undeniable, the numbers suggest a dip in production could be on the horizon. Averaging just 31.75 combined points, rebounds, and assists recently, Giddey seems poised for a challenging night. His last five away games show a slight uptick in points to 18.6, but against the 76ers, that number drops to 16. Additionally, his assists show a stark decline - from 11.8 overall to just 5.5 on the road against this opponent. With the 76ers' defense tightening, it's reasonable to expect Giddey to struggle to reach that 36.5 mark. Given his current form and the hostile Philadelphia environment, betting the under on Giddey feels like a smart play as he navigates a tough matchup.
