FanDuel (1.5u). Luka Garza has emerged as a key piece of the Celtics rotation off the bench. Having cleared 20+ minutes each of the last two games, Garza is over this points line in 12/16 games with just 14+ minutes. He’ll now face a Bulls defense that allows the fourth most points in the paint, and the seventh most points to opposing centers. I’m ok with this line up to over 8.5 (for one unit).

Luka Garza has become an important player off the bench for the Celtics. While he is only averaging 15 minutes per game for the season, he has averaged 22 minutes over their last seven games. In five of those games, he scored at least 11 points. The Bulls have played at the second-fastest pace and have the eighth-worst defensive in the league, so this is a favorable matchup for Garza to continue his hot scoring. It also helps that the Bulls will be missing their top backup centers in Zach Collins (toe) and Jalen Smith (concussion).

Derrick White has combined for at least 11 rebounds and assists in six of his last eight games. In the other two, he had nine and 10 combined, so they were near misses. The Bulls have played at the second-fastest pace in the league, which has contributed to them allowing the eighth-most rebounds per game and the ninth-most assists per game. In what should be a fast paced, high scoring game for the Celtics, look for White to rack up plenty of rebounds and assists.
