Coby White Over 23.5 Points
Chicago Bulls guard Coby White is having an impressive 2024-25 NBA season. Over 69 games, he has averaged 20.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 44.9%. In March 2025, White's performance peaked, earning him consecutive Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors. During this stretch, he averaged 27.5 points on 49.7% shooting, including 37.1% from three-point range, along with 4.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists over 35.4 minutes per game. Taking the over on White’s points has been one of my most profitable strategies over the month of March. I just don’t see him slowing down anytime soon, and until he lets me down, I’ll continue to target his overs.
Deni Avdija Over 22.5 Points
Deni Avdija has been a standout performer for the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2024-25 NBA season. Over 70 games, he has averaged 16.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 47.6%. In March 2025, Avdija's performance reached new heights, averaging 23.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game, while shooting efficiently from the field and beyond the arc. He continued his strong play into April, recording a triple-double with 32 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists in a victory over the Atlanta Hawks in the Trailblazers' last game.
Donovan Clingan Over 9.5 Rebounds
Clingan has averaged 7.4 rebounds per game, placing him 30th in the league. His rebounding rate is impressive, with 4.4 defensive rebounds and 3.0 offensive rebounds per game. Notably, on March 14, 2025, Clingan achieved a career-high 20 rebounds in a game against the Denver Nuggets, becoming the first Trail Blazers rookie since 1985 to reach this milestone. Over his last several games, we’ve seen him secure double-digit rebounds with ease. He has a favorable matchup in this one going against the Bulls, who are giving up 54.6 rebounds per game to opposing teams, which is the 2nd most in the league.
