Bulls vs. Spurs Odds & Betting Predictions - December 6, 2024

Did you know… Vassell averages the least PPG vs Chicago, AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE. He shot 6/34 from 3pt in their last 5 games vs them at a disgusting 17%. Despite averaging 12-20 PPG vs 26 of the 30 teams in the NBA he averages a wimpy 8.4 PPG vs Chicago and I wouldn’t be suprised if he struggles to get 12 points tonight.

The Spurs should be a popular target without Victor Wembanyama and going up against one of the worst defenses in the league. Wemby's absence will open up tons of usage and opportunities for the healthy Spurs, and Vassell is my favorite choice. He has the best combination of playing time, usage, and individual matchup. Vassell has been in and out of the lineup due to injuries this season. He's only played 7 games, but he did get up to a season-high 28 minutes on Tuesday. He had played 21 and 24 minutes in the 2 games since his most recent injury, so we're looking at a steady increase in workload. I'm expecting him to reach 30 minutes tonight for the first time this season. Vassell has come off the bench in each appearance. Leading the second unit has allowed him to post a career-high 26.4% usage rate. He's 2nd on the team behind Wembanyama in usage for the 2nd straight season, but the gap is much closer this season. He should lead the team in usage and shots tonight. Chicago has allowed the most points per game. They rank 26th in defensive rating and 1st in pace. Chicago has allowed the most points per game to shooting guards.
