Zach LaVine is averaging 24.9 points and 4.5 rebounds, while DeMar DeRozan is averaging 24.7 points and 5.1 assists.

The Bulls are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. The Mavericks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The over is 5-2-1 in Bulls last 8 overall. The under is 10-4-1 in Mavericks last 15 overall. The Bulls are 9-4-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Dallas and 5-1-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Dallas Mavericks need this game to keep their playoff hopes alive, while the Bulls are pretty much locked into the 10th seed in the East. Still, I'm not laying big chalk with a Mavs team that doesn't play defense and can't rebound. Everything comes down to the wire with the Mavs and they also have several bad losses on their resume. While we may not be getting a full Bulls roster, I'm still taking the points.
