🔑 Bulls ML +104 (FanDuel) 2u The Bulls are starting to click as a unit. Winning 3/L4 games. I think they matchup really well against the Nets and will be able to push the pace in this game. Money kinda split in the public but I’m taking LaVine and the fellas to get this W

Check the game log and tell me what you see

Zach LaVine has been COOKING to start the season and has thrived without DeMar DeRozan. This is the perfect buy low opportunity after he played the smothering Orlando Magic defense last game and scored just 11 points. Now, he gets the Brooklyn Nets who have been scrappy but remain one of the worst teams in the league. The Nets have the sixth-worst Adjusted Defensive Rating in the NBA, per Dunks and Threes. They are getting torched from beyond the arc and at the rim, two areas where LaVine likes to score. We have seen this from LaVine as well, he’s exceeded this line in 7/9 of games against the Nets since 2021 and one of the misses is at 20 points. LaVine scores about 3 more points per 100 possessions without DeMar but the more important thing is the Bulls play faster this season on both sides of the ball. They are the fastest-Paced team in the NBA compared to the third-slowest last season. This swing is getting LaVine more possessions and chances to score. I’ll back LaVine today against the Brooklyn Nets’ porous defense.

Over in 3/5 this season - one miss in a B2B, and the other in a tough spot vs ORL. This should be an A+ spot against the Bulls who, without Caruso, now have a bottom 5 PnR defense (Thomas at 9.2 pts per game off the playtype). Overall, Thomas’ usage is at 31% with 17.5 drives per game. And this is a big time paced up spot as the Bulls are still first in the NBA in team pace.
