The PLAY: Lauri Markkanen (UTA) Over 25.5 Points at Chicago (-130)
Lauri Markkanen goes against his second straight former team in the Bulls tonight after scoring 28 points in a 123-112 win at Cleveland on Monday night. We’re going to take him to go over 25.5 points tonight against a Bulls team that has given up the most points per game to power forwards this season and the second most over the last seven days. Markkanen has been hot so far in January averaging 29.4 ppg across five games including 29 points in a 129-125 overtime loss at OKC a week ago. The Jazz power forward has also enjoyed playing the Bulls in general throughout his career notching 47 points against them back on Nov. 16 and averaging 26 ppg overall in eight head-to-head contests. The Bulls rank bottom seven in defensive efficiency this season with both the Jazz and Bulls running at a top four pace as well. So, let’s take Markkanen to be the focal point of the Jazz offense against a defensively vulnerable Bulls team going over 25.5 points in Chicago tonight.
