After missing 11 straight games with a hamstring injury, Tre Jones returned and logged 22 minutes against the Raptors on Thursday. He finished with 12 points and six assists. For the season, he averages 5.8 assists over 27 minutes a game. Jaden Ivey (knee) has been ruled out for at least two weeks, so Jones has a clear path to 20+ minutes a game moving forward. That should provide him with enough opportunities to hit this over.

Ausar Thompson averages 6.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists for the season. Over his last 14 games, he has produced at least nine combined rebounds and assists 11 times. This is a great matchup for him to remain productive in both departments with the Bulls ranked 20th in rebounds allowed per game and 28th in assists allowed per game. In two previous meetings with them, Thompson combined for 16 and 11 rebounds and assists.

DraftKings. Jalen Duren makes his return from suspension tonight, and is immediately greeted with a great matchup. The Bulls allow the eighth most points plus rebounds to opposing centers, and are poised to be one of the bigger center funnels down the stretch. When Duren plays at least 24 minutes against teams in the bottom half of the NBA against centers P+R, Duren has cleared this line in 14/18 games. There is blowout and/or foul trouble risk, but I expect the Pistons to look to feature their big man after what’s turned into a 12-day layoff.
