Bulls vs. Lakers - Austin Reaves Points

With LeBron James sidelined for a fourth straight game and Marcus Smart now ruled out, we expect Reaves to maintain his elite 27.9% usage rate after averaging 28.0 points over his last two outings, including a 31-point explosion against Minnesota on Tuesday. He faces a bottom-five Bulls defense allowing 120.5 PPG that ranks in the bottom third of the league in defensive rating against guards (117.0). Given the Lakers' thinned rotation and Chicago’s high-tempo pace (102.5), Reaves' current scoring tear makes the 20.5 line significantly undervalued.
