Zach LaVine is likely to miss another game tonight for the Bulls, which would mean a start for Ayo Dosunmu. He has topped this number in seven games this year despite playing more than 30 minutes just once -- which he seems likely to do tonight if LaVine does sit. I'm not adding points because his shot runs very hot and cold. Last night in a loss in Dallas, Ayo was just 2-for-10 from the field for six points but had nine RA in only 25 minutes.
Rudy Gobert has had a quiet start to the season but I believe it's largely a result of reduced minutes and Minnesota being careful with Gobert considering his age, international play, in addition to having depth at the position. It remains to be seen how much Gobert is going to play on the second leg of B2Bs but his last appearance was Monday and I expect him to play upwards of 32-35 minutes. The Bulls lead the NBA in possessions per game, which lends itself to high output performances. We're getting a sizable discount on this combo line.
