Grizzlies vs Bulls same-game parlay

Josh Giddey has cashed the Over in assists in four straight, and he’s compiled 15 dimes across his last two games alone. He’s averaging 11.8 assists in March and will pick apart the Memphis defense tonight. 

Matas Buzelis is playing at a different level over these last few games, which is exactly why his total is sitting higher. The second-year forward has hit the Over in two of his last three outings.
