Bulls vs Pistons best bet: Nikola Vucevic Over 4.5 assists (+110)
Nikola Vucevic is having a respectable campaign for the Chicago Bulls, averaging 16.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game. While he’s not dropping Nikola Jokic assist numbers, Vooch is still one of the better passing bigs in the Association.
The center has cashed the Over in dimes in four consecutive appearances. On Monday, he was dropping dimes like a PG, compiling seven assists. Vucevic also had eight dimes on Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets.
Vooch is also averaging 3.8 assists on the road compared to 3.5 at home. He’ll continue to pass the basketball with confidence against the Detroit Pistons tonight.
