B365/MGM at -120. Ayo Dosunmu has cleared this points line in eleven of his last fourteen games, and in 10/13 games without Josh Giddey this season. With the Bulls also missing Tre Jones tonight, Ayo should be in for a sizable workload off the bench. The Heat run at the league’s fastest pace, which also suits Dosunmu’s skillset. I’d bet this up to 14.5, with the Bulls guard coming off 19 and 20 point games.

Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell remain out for the Heat, which puts more playmaking responsibility on Jaime Jaquez Jr. In his previous matchup with Chicago, Jaquez dished out seven assists in 24 minutes. He should play nearly 30 minutes Thursday in a game with the highest total on the board. Go Over on assists.

Tyler Herro (ribs) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) have yet to fully practice, so they should be out again Thursday. That will likely continue to leave more playing time for Pelle Larsson. Their recent absences have helped Larsson combine for at least eight rebounds and assists in five of his last six games. This is a great matchup against the Bulls, who allow the fifth-most assists per game in the league. The last time he faced them, Larsson recorded two rebounds and seven assists over 26 minutes. At plus odds, I like taking a chance on this over.

The Bulls continue to play without Tre Jones (hamstring). Ayo Dosunmu has scored at least 19 points in two of three games since Jones suffered his injury. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, and while Josh Giddey and Coby White are expected to play, their recent injuries might still prevent the Bulls from giving them both huge minutes. Dosunmu should log at least 25 minutes in a matchup between two teams that rank inside the top-five in the league in pace of play. He loves to attack the paint, which is a weakness of the Heat because they allow the sixth-most points in the paint per game. The last time he faced them, Dosunmu scored 23 points. Take this over.
