Josh Giddey is back from an ankle injury for the Bulls producing a big game off the bench last start, but expect the Australian to return to the starting line-up against the Lakers.

Even though he came off the bench in his return from injury, Josh Giddey still produced a big game for the Bulls with 22 / 7 / 7 in 30 minutes.

Since the All Star break, Giddey averages 23 points, 10.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists across 10 games – an average PRA of 41.8.

Tre Jones is questionable entering into this clash with the Lakers, and more unlikely than likely to play based off the Bulls season situation, which means Giddey’s minutes and usage are likely to increase in this.

SGM: White 20+ Points / Reaves 20+ Points / Giddey Over 33.5 PRA = $3.75

Next Best

Washington Wizards @ New York Knicks (11:10am)

Wizards +15.5

Line

The Wizards are not trying to win, but the Knicks are in a real rut without Jalen Brunson which makes this line way too big.

They enter this off the back of losses to the Spurs and Hornets, entering both as heavy favourites, so the -15.5 line does seem concerning.

Washington has recently beaten both Denver and Detroit, and although there’s no chance they win this, New York is not playing good enough to justify this head start.

SGM: Wizards +15.5 / Towns Under 41.5 PR / McBride 10+ Points = $4.50

Value Bet

Golden State Warriors @ Atlanta Hawks (10:10am)

Brandin Podziemski

6+ Assists

Bet Now

$4.30

No Steph Curry so BPod will take point guard duties for the Warriors, which makes the $4.30 on offer for 6+ assists outstanding value.

Podziemski averages 4.8 assists per game without Curry this season across eight games, hitting 6+ assists in three of those.

The Hawks concede plenty of points so there will be plenty of assists to go around between BPod, Butler and Draymond, so we should see him cover the line of 3.5 while it’s worth having a dabble at the 6+ at this price.

SGM: Okongwu 10+ Points / Young Under 25.5 Points / Podziemski 4+ Assists = $3.40

Lakers / Nets +9.5 / Wizards +15.5 = $4.20
