FanDuel at +100. Coming off a 16 rebound plus assist performance against the Bulls (with 27 combined potentials), I expect more of the same from Jaquez Jr. tonight. He’s cleared this total in both games against the Bulls this season.

Ayo Dosunmu has scored exactly 23 points in both games against the Heat this season. He likes to attack the paint, which makes Miami a favorable matchup for him because they give up the seventh-most points in the paint per game in the league. Josh Giddey (hamstring), Tre Jones (hamstring) and Jalen Smith (calf) are all out for Saturday, while Coby White (calf) and Nikola Vucevic (rest) are listed as doubtful. Dosunmu should receive a lot of minutes and shot attempts, so he could certainly come out of this game with at least 20 points.

The Bulls aren’t expected to have much size for this game. Jalen Smith (calf) and Zach Collins (toe) are out, while Nikola Vucevic (rest) is listed as doubtful. That means we could see Patrick Williams and Lachlan Olbrich playing center. The Heat allow the second-most rebounds per game in the league, so someone on the Bulls will be in a good spot to rack up boards. I think that someone is Matas Buzelis, who had nine rebounds against them on Thursday despite Vucevic playing.

The Heat have ruled out Norman Powell (personal), Tyler Herro (ribs) and Davion Mitchell (shoulder) for this game. Herro and Mitchell didn’t play against the Bulls on Thursday, but Powell did. In that game, Jaime Jaquez Jr. recorded 35 combined points, rebounds and assists. Jaquez should receive added minutes and shot attempts in matchup between two of the top five teams in the league in pace of play. The over is the way to go here.
