Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks Prediction: Can Coby White Stuff the Stat Sheet?
Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks Prediction: Can Coby White Stuff the Stat Sheet?
The Chicago Bulls take on the Milwaukee Bucks in what should be a pretty competitive game. Coby White has a very good line tonight in points, rebounds, and assists so I will be taking his PRA straight line. White has gone over his line in every game without Zach LaVine, and with him playing the Bucks tonight who struggle against guards, I believe he will cash this line for us.

Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks Prediction
Coby White has gone over this line in only seven out of 23 games this season averaging 23.3 PRA. But Zach LaVine is out here yet again in the past four games without LaVine, he's gone over this line in every game.
I don't really understand this line as he's seeing a usage increase obviously since LaVine is out. He's seen his volume increase, he's had 15+ field goal attempts in the past four games without LaVine 20 field goal attempts a game. I'm a big advocate of taking guards against the Bucks as I've taken them multiple times this season.
The Bucks just are not good against guarding points guards without Jrue Holiday. The Bucks are allowing the third most points, eighth most rebounds, and 12th most assists to the point guard position. White has gone up against the Bucks twice this season already. One game he had only 20 PRA but this was with LaVine playing on top of the fact he only played 26 minutes; he's been seeing 38+ minutes the past four games.
In the other game against the Bucks without LaVine, he had 34 PRA. It was an overtime game but he still had 40 minutes before overtime and I loved his volume as he had 20 field goal attempts. White has seen six assists on 12.5 potential assists as well as 6.5 rebounds on 9.8 rebound chances.
He's been seeing a lot of chances here and should help him cover it. Recent guards against the Bucks: Trae Young 46 PRA, Jordan Poole 38 PRA, Kyrie Irving 49 PRA, Luka Doncic 54 PRA, LaMelo Ball 47 PRA, Tyrese Haliburton 49 PRA, and Cade Cunningham 49 PRA.
I love this spot for White and I'm not sure why this line is so low for him. The Bucks are poor against guards, he's covered in the game without LaVine and his volume has increased in these games.
