Pick #1:  Nikola Vucevic to record a Double-Double (YES -145) - on BetMGM

Da Bull Market!  

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic doesn’t back down against top-tier NBA talents. And that’s just what he’ll face when the team visits Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers.

Vucevic recently recorded 25 points and 15 rebounds against Embiid’s biggest competition for MVP, Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. That effort started a stretch of five straight double-doubles for the Bulls’ big man.

Vucevic will get plenty of chances to grab rebounds around the rim against Embiid, with Philadelphia’s star center launching up 20 shots per game in March. While Embiid is also a constant threat to record a double-double, his rebounding efforts have been dwindling this month (8.8 per game).

As for offense, the 6-foot-10 baller from Montenegro has scored in double figures during 42 straight games going back to December 17. He's been averaging almost 19 points on 51.6% shooting over that span while collecting nearly 12 boards per outing.

He scored 19 points and snatched 18 rebounds during his last matchup with the Sixers, but Philly was without Embiid for that January 6 contest. Vucevic produced 23 points and 19 boards against the 76ers with Embiid in action way back on October 29.

Vucevic, who's in a contract year, is third in the Association in double-doubles with 44. He sits behind Jokic (53) and the Sacramento Kings' Domantas Sabonis (57), who Vucevic also balled out against last week (20 points and 14 rebounds).

Let's start it rolling this week with Vucevic!
