Bulls vs. Heat Player Props for Wednesday, April 16
- Josh Giddey Over 36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists
- Josh Giddey to Record a Triple Double
- Bam Adebayo Over 18.5 Points
Josh Giddey has been incredible for the Bulls down the stretch. He said there is "no way he would miss" this game for Chicago and also for his free agency hopes.
Since March 1, Giddey is averaging 20.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 9.5 assists – nearly a triple double.
He has sliced and diced this Miami defense as well this season. He's scored 24, 26, and 28 points against them with two triple doubles. I expect Giddey to continue his strong play while playing max minutes in this contest.
Picks: Josh Giddey Over 36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-114) | Josh Giddey Triple Double (+270)
Bam Adebayo will see some extended opportunity here for the Heat in a matchup that they need his scoring and offense.
This has been a strong matchup for him this season scoring 23, 22, and 18 points against Chicago and to close out the season he cleared this line in 5/6 games.
This is a clear Pace Up game for Bam, and he could push 40 minutes of playing time. Chicago allows the most points in the paint per game to their opponents and Bam can take full advantage of Vucevic.
Pick: Bam Adebayo Over 18.5 Points (-135)
