Spurs vs Bulls NBA Preview
San Antonio Spurs Betting Preview
Victor Wembanyama has been dominant in the first quarter of games this season, and he has really turned up the heat over his last several outings.
The Spurs' phenom is currently averaging 8.9 points in the opening frame while playing a consolidated rotation of roughly eight to nine minutes right off the rip.
What I love most about his recent progression is how aggressive he has become attacking the rim. He has effectively doubled his dunk rate and is no longer settling for the three-point shot. By relentlessly attacking the basket, he is finishing through contact and generating a massive amount of free-throw attempts.
Wembanyama has completely smoked teams that lack a true, imposing big man to contest him in the paint. Over his last four games against the Suns, Trail Blazers, Kings, and Mavericks—all teams lacking elite interior anchors—he has dropped 14, 8, 12, and 15 points in the first quarter alone.
Chicago Bulls Betting Preview
The Chicago Bulls present the perfect schematic matchup for Wembanyama to exploit. Chicago plays at the fastest pace in the entire league, which ensures a high volume of possessions and up-and-down action right out of the gates.
Defensively, the Bulls are abysmal. They are terrible at defending the roll man in pick-and-roll situations; they give up a ton of free-throw attempts, they offer very little resistance in transition, and they are awful at defending put-backs on the offensive glass.
Every single one of those defensive weaknesses aligns with exactly what Wembanyama does best when he is attacking the paint.
Spurs vs Bulls Pick, Betting Analysis
My best bet for tonight is Wembanyama to score over 7.5 points in the first quarter. He has already cleared this number in 8 of his 11 games this season. My biggest concern with taking his full-game props tonight is the blowout risk.
The Spurs have been dominating inferior teams when favored by large margins, meaning Wembanyama might not see the floor in the fourth quarter.
However, Wemby has been making statements right from the opening tip, and against a Bulls team that plays at a blistering pace and cannot defend the rim, backing him to score over 7.5 points in the first quarter feels like a no-brainer.
Pick: Victor Wembanyama Over 7.5 First Quarter Points (-115)
