Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Chicago Bulls prepare to face off against the Philadelphia 76ers, all eyes will be on Josh Giddey and whether he can surpass the assist mark of 10.5. However, recent trends suggest a different narrative. Giddey may have averaged an impressive 11.6 assists over his last five games, but that number dips to an underwhelming 5.5 when looking at his performance on the road against this specific opponent. The Bulls have tightened their defense, limiting playmakers like Giddey to an average of just 9.4 assists in their last encounters. Additionally, while Giddey has hit the over in 15 of his last 20 games, his away form tells a sobering story with only 4 out of 6 hitting the mark. With the odds favoring the under and the historical context leaning against him, it feels right to bet on Giddey falling short of that 10.5 assists target.
