Boston Celtics vs. Chicago Bulls Prediction
1u - Nikola Vucevic Over 29.5 PTS/REB/AST (-118) (Bet $118 to Collect $218)
I really love this spot for Vuc. I was weighing between betting just his points at 15.5 or this prop, but I think this one has a better chance at hitting, but both should, in theory. For his points prop, we have seen that hit in five of nine games, and with this PRA number, we have only seen him hit in only five of nine games. It’s really a toss-up, but Boston allows the 4th most rebounds to Centers, and Vuc had 23 rebounds against them a week and a half ago.
Vucevic absolutely filled the stat sheet this season when playing Boston. He had 18/23/5 for a PRA total of 46. The encouraging part is he shot a season-high 19 times and was inefficient, he smashed his PRA number on a night he only shot 36%. He had a season-high in both rebounds and assists. Without Robert Williams down low, Boston is way more prone to allowing stats to opposing bigs.
The only reason we’re sticking with just 1 unit here is the potential risk of a blowout, as Boston are 7 point favorites. This game is an ESPN game, so hopefully, the refs will make sure this game stays close for ratings. This is a great spot for Vuc, and he only needs to replicate a fraction of what he did against them 11 days ago. In the game, he went off against Boston he was the third option behind Lavine and DeRozan and still crushed it. His numbers are always lower when both are active, but it shouldn’t matter. Tatum and Brown are great defenders, and will try to limit them. That leaves Big Vuc with the best matchup of the top scorers on Chicago. Let's roll!
