Off the back of the huge NBA Cup Final in Vegas, it\u2019s back to reality with two games on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Cavs and Bulls are both horribly out of form and desperate for a win, while the Timberwolves host the resurgent Memphis Grizzlies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cleveland Cavaliers @ Chicago Bulls<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Both Cleveland and Chicago started the season strongly, but things have turned pear-shaped in recent weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cleveland has won just three of their last nine to sit at 15-12, while the Bulls look every bit the worst team in the NBA right now, winning just one of their last nine.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a vital contest for both teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 1 – Jaylon Tyson Over 12.5 Points<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In what has been a disappointing season to date for the Cavs, Jaylon Tyson has been a shining light in his second year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tyson is averaging 13.1 points per game this season, which jumps to 17.4 across his last seven outings.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although Tyson came off the bench last start against the Hornets, he still logged starter-level minutes with 35, including overtime. With Sam Merrill and Evan Mobley both out, he should once again see 30+ minutes here.<\/span><\/p>\n

When playing 28+ minutes this season, Tyson is averaging 15.9 points across 12 games and has covered this line in 75% of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 2 – Lonzo Ball 4+ Rebounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Another player whose minutes should build given those absences, Ball has been solid for Cleveland this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

He played a surprising 32 minutes against Charlotte last start and is likely to see at least 25 minutes again in this contest against his old team, Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lonzo is averaging 4.9 rebounds across his last 13 games, hitting 4+ boards in 10 of those. He should be right in the mix again.<\/span><\/p>\n

LEG 3 – Nikola Vucevic 6+ Rebounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vucevic has been super inconsistent this season and, in all honesty, looks like a player trying to find his way out of Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said, this rebound line is one of the lowest we\u2019ve seen for him in more than five years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vuc is averaging 8.5 rebounds across his last 13 games, hitting 6+ in 10 of those. With Cleveland conceding rebounds to centres at a rate nine percent above league average over the past month, it would be a surprise if he didn\u2019t clear this number.<\/span><\/p>\n

SAME GAME MULTI<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tyson Over 12.5 Points \/ Ball 4+ Rebounds \/ Vucevic 6+ Rebounds = $3.40<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

VALUE BET<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jaylon Tyson Double Double @ $6.00<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Tyson rebounds extremely well for his size, and without Evan Mobley there should be plenty of opportunities on offer for Cleveland.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is averaging nine rebounds per game across his last six outings, including three double-doubles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most encouragingly, last start without Mobley it was Tyson coming off the bench who led the team with 13 rebounds. This is a strong price given his recent form.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
