Mavericks vs. Bulls Preview
The Bulls take on the Mavericks on Saturday, and one player who has been red-hot of late is Josh Giddey.
Giddey has racked up three triple-doubles over his last six games and is stuffing the stat sheet on a nightly basis. Part of this is because he’s absolutely crushed the Lakers, but this is another excellent matchup against the Mavs.
Over their last 10 games, the Mavericks are playing at the seventh-fastest pace in the league, which is an uptick from their full season mark of 12th. They have suffered defensively, and even though Anthony Davis is back, this is a team that is still struggling due to all of their injuries.
Both of these teams need every game they can get, and I expect Giddey to continue seeing elevated minutes as the Bulls try to climb the Eastern Conference standings
Best Bet: Josh Giddey Over 17.5 Rebounds + Assists (-135)

Mavericks vs. Bulls Prediction
The Bulls are coming off of an improbable win on Thursday defeating the Lakers with halfcourt buzzer beater after trailing by five points with 12 seconds second left in the game. Chicago has now won nine of its last 11 games.
Dallas is currently two games below .500, which is really not all that bad when considering the injuries that have plagued them. But, the Mavericks have not quit and are still in a battle with Phoenix and Sacramento.
Anthony Davis has been a great addition (lost Luka Doncic), and they are totally different when he plays. He is supposed to play tonight. I'll take the points with Dallas.
Pick: Mavericks +3 (-110)
