Dillon Brooks (Phoenix Suns) Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-145)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Dillon Brooks has been quietly effective lately, making him a prime candidate for the over on points and rebounds in this matchup against the Bulls. Despite averaging 14.6 points and 3.6 rebounds over his last five games, his numbers take on a different light when you consider the context. He's consistently found a groove against the Suns, averaging 14 points in their last encounters and showing a knack for stepping up away from home. What's particularly enticing is his recent trend; Brooks has hit the over 9 times out of his last 13 games. The Bulls struggle defensively, allowing opponents to thrive, which should open up opportunities for Brooks to not only score but also contribute on the boards. With an expected stat value suggesting he could push close to 25 combined, it's hard to overlook this opportunity. Betting the over on 19.5 feels like a savvy move here.

Matas Buzelis (Chicago Bulls) Under 6.5 Rebounds (+102)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

In the upcoming clash between the Chicago Bulls and the Phoenix Suns, targeting Matas Buzelis for under 6.5 rebounds feels like a savvy play. While he's averaged a solid 8 rebounds in his last five games, context is key. At home, his contributions dip slightly to 6.4, and when facing the Suns, he's averaged just 3 boards on his home court-far from the level needed to clear our threshold.The numbers back up this trend; against this opponent, Buzelis has only managed 1.5 rebounds per game in their last five meetings. With the Bulls possibly leaning more on their perimeter game against Phoenix's potent offense, Buzelis might not find himself in the paint as often. Given these factors, the under seems not just plausible, but a smart angle to explore as he looks to navigate the ebb and flow of this matchup.
