Wendell Carter Jr. o11.5 Points Scored (-136)
It's a lot of juice on the Over 11.5, so you can absolutely take a shot at the 12.5 at plus money. Even though -136 feels like a short price on the Over 11.5, it should be much shorter—I project it closer to -205. Nikola Vucevic and the Bulls’ rim protection are downright poor, and with Jalen Smith out, there's no real depth behind him. Chicago consistently struggles to contain the roll man in pick-and-roll action, which sets up a perfect spot for Wendell Carter Jr. to thrive on Monday.
ORL -9.0 (-110)
The Bulls are getting eaten alive inside, allowing 55.7 paint points per game, with only Washington below them. Orlando feasts in the painted area, punching in 54.2 points per contest, good for fourth in the league, and it's also good in other margins, ranking Top 3 in both second-chance points and fast-break points.
