Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Orlando Magic roll into Chicago, all eyes should be on Franz Wagner to deliver a standout performance. With an average of 14.2 points and 4.6 rebounds in his recent away games, he's shown he can thrive outside of Orlando. Against the Bulls, he's averaged 15.8 points and 3 rebounds, but the real kicker is his trend-hitting the over in 17 of his last 20 away contests. The Bulls' defense has been vulnerable, and with Wagner's expected stat value nearing 23, the 18.5 mark feels like a sweet spot. He's been consistent against various defenses and carries a solid hit rate that suggests he'll step up when it counts. Given the stakes and his current form, taking the over on Wagner's combined points and rebounds seems like a savvy move. Expect him to shine in this matchup.
