Dillon Brooks (Phoenix Suns) Over 19.5 Points + Rebounds (-147)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Suns roll into Chicago, Dillon Brooks stands poised to shine beyond the 19.5 mark for points and rebounds. While his recent averages of 14.6 points and 3.6 rebounds may not scream "star," there's a compelling narrative unfolding. Notably, Brooks has been a force against the Bulls historically, averaging 14 points and 3.5 rebounds in their last matchups, even on the road. With the Bulls' defense struggling to contain versatile scorers, Brooks' ability to penetrate the lane can easily elevate his output. Over the last 13 games, he's hit the over on this combined total 9 times-a testament to his rising form at crucial moments. Plus, with an expected stat value of nearly 25, it's clear that Brooks isn't just showing up; he's on the verge of a breakout game. With the Suns needing every bit of contribution, expect Brooks to surpass that 19.5 threshold.

Matas Buzelis (Chicago Bulls) Under 6.5 Rebounds (+100)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Chicago Bulls gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, it's worth considering Matas Buzelis for an under on his rebounding total of 6.5. Despite impressive averages of 8 rebounds overall in his last five games, his performance against the Suns tells a different story. In their previous encounters, he's managed just 1.5 boards per game, and even at home, that number hovers around 3. With the Bulls bolstering their frontcourt depth, it's likely that Buzelis may not get the same opportunities to crash the boards. His recent home average of 6.4 is solid, but given the matchup dynamics, expecting him to hit the over feels overly optimistic. With an expected stat value of 5.83, it seems the under is the smart play here, especially considering Buzelis has only hit the over in 2 of his last 3 games.
