With that in mind, it wouldn&#8217;t be surprising if White has a big impact offensively due to his quickness and acceleration. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/basketball\/player\/derrick-white-4195\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Derrick White<\/a> likely to focus on stopping <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/basketball\/player\/josh-giddey-5366\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Josh Giddey<\/a>, White should operate as the Bulls&#8217; go-to option on offense. The recent performances also support White&#8217;s potential to have a big game. He&#8217;s scored at least 17 points in his last four games and has eclipsed the 20-point threshold in the last three.<\/p>\n<p>Miami Heat vs. Utah Jazz: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/basketball\/player\/keyonte-george-5899\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Keyonte George<\/a> over 24.5 points, -110 @ BetMGM<\/p>\n<p>The Jazz will be without <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/basketball\/player\/lauri-markkanen-4119\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lauri Markkanen<\/a> (conditioning) for this game, so George will have an even bigger role on offense for the Jazz. The floor general is having an excellent season in 2025-26 and has been a deadly scoring weapon of late, tallying at least 23 points in six of his last seven contests while averaging 28.4 points per game over that stretch. The Heat aren&#8217;t known for being an elite defensive team, so George will attack them early and often. Given his recent play, this line looks a bit low on George, so this is an option to take advantage of, especially since Markkanen won&#8217;t be around to take some touches and shots away from the former Baylor star. George has scored at least 20 points and has drained at least four threes in four games in a row, a stretch he&#8217;ll aim to continue against Miami.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles Lakers vs. Dallas Mavericks: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotowire.com\/basketball\/player\/luka-doncic-4396\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Luka Doncic<\/a> over 49.5 points + rebounds + assists, -115 @ Caesars<\/p>\n<p>Doncic should be a bit more motivated than usual for this game since he&#8217;ll return to Dallas to take on the Mavericks, the team that traded him to the Lakers before the deadline last season. The star floor general has played three times against the Mavericks in his career and has been excellent, averaging 33.0 points, 9.7 assists and 9.3 rebounds in those contests. Doncic already cleared the 49.5 P+R+A line in his last appearances, when he posted 2 points (11-27 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 39 minutes during Thursday&#8217;s 112-104 loss to the Clippers. He&#8217;s also recorded at least 50 P+R+A in three of his last six outings, so there&#8217;s enough body of work to believe the star floor general can reach this line. Even with some subpar performances in recent weeks, Doncic is still averaging 33.2 points, 8.5 assists, 7.0 rebounds, 3.5 threes and 1.7 steals over 36.6 minutes per contest in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RotoWire&#8217;s JP Aravena provides his expert best bets for Saturday&#8217;s NBA games, including leans on Coby White, Keyonte&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":436910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-436909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/436910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
