Bulls vs Spurs NBA Monday Preview
The Spurs will take on the Bulls tonight, and this should be a great spot for Stephon Castle to perform for San Antonio.
The Spurs might jump ahead early and run away with this game — and while the Bulls certainly aren't playing very well right now, they aren't exactly tanking either.
Honestly, I don't know what the Bulls are doing, but they aren't winning games. However, they are keeping their games pretty close.
The Bulls play at a fast pace, and they allow a boatload of assists. So, I think this is a good opportunity for Castle. Whenever the Spurs are huge favorites, he still continues to dish with regularity.
So, I tried to narrow down some of the parameters here. We have a matchup against a team that ranks top-10 in pace, the spread is double-digits, and their opponent ranks bottom-10 in assists allowed per game.
In seven games that fit the aforementioned parameters, Castle's floor has been seven dimes, averaging 8.9 assists in those contests — and Chicago certainly fits the bill here.
Bulls vs Spurs Picks, Analysis
Castle doesn't necessarily need a ton of minutes to go over this line — but even in some of the games where the Spurs blow out the opposing team, he still typically plays around 30 minutes.
So, I think we'll see Castle piggyback on the notion that if the Spurs blow out the Bulls tonight, then it will also lead to him dishing out a bunch of assists. Let's back him to record 8+ dimes in tonight's game.
