The second leg is Demar Derozan over 22.5 points. Demar has been lights out for most of this season. His over/under of 25.5 is another line I heavily considered, but could not commit. His data is a bit skewed lately due to various injuries and covid protocols that have hit the Bulls over the past several weeks, so I wanted to drop down a few points for safety. I love how Billy Donovan has set Demar up for success with his rotations. Do not be alarmed when Demar subs around the 6 minute mark in the first quarter of tonight’s game, this is normal and comes in handy. He typically subs back in with around 2 min in the first, right around the time Lavine and Vucevic leave the floor. This gives him time to operate as the unquestioned number 1 option, oftentimes vs the other team's bench. Home/road splits also come into play here. Demar averages 28.2 points per game on the road, 3.4 points more than he does at home. Demar has hit this line in 76% of road games this season and 9 of his last 10.
