Chicago's managed to get a little healthier with Zach LaVine rejoining the lineup, but so far it's led to just one win despite a good showing against the Cleveland Cavaliers last time out.

Can we expect more of the same from Chicago in this one? Let's build a same-game parlay for Bulls vs Knicks on Wednesday, November 13th and lay out a few props that will work well as standalone straight bets as well.

Zach LaVine 3+ Made Threes

The Knicks have struggled across the board on defense, and while we'll have a look at their weak frontcourt in just a moment I want to highlight what should be an excellent spot for LaVine in his third game back from injury.

• While New York's 21st-ranked defense against the turns out to technically be the strongest part of this defense, this team has seen 41.5% of its opponents' looks come from outside according to Cleaning the Glass.

With a high volume of shots from the arc expected, I think we're in the clear to fire up LaVine in this one. He shot five times from 3 against a stingy Cavaliers defense last game, cashing in twice, and for the season has now taken an average of 7.5 3-point attempts per game.

The Knicks are quite friendly in their closeouts around the perimeter, and now that LaVine's gotten his feet wet after missing a few games I think he's ready to break back out and knock down three triples -- something he did four times in six games prior to injury.

LaVine played 35 minutes last game, so there should be little concern about a restriction here, and as long as he's on the floor he should be firing enough from deep to hit this number.

Josh Giddey Over 18.5 Points + Assists

Now, the Knicks' rim defense has really struggled this season with injuries abound in the frontcourt, leaving the task to Karl-Anthony Towns who hasn't exactly been the best defender over the course of his career.

• The Knicks have allowed 69.3% shooting at the rim -- good for sixth-worst in the NBA -- but it should be an opposing guard to burn them there on Wednesday.

Josh Giddey has proven incredibly capable of getting past his man and shooting at the rim, ranking in the 87th percentile of the league in shot frequency in the zone.

I believe Giddey will be the X-factor here for Chicago, given he's an exceptional passer and winds up inside the paint on most possessions where the ball runs through his hands. The Knicks rank 18th in assists allowed per 100 possessions, and Giddey should either be able to score at will in the restricted area or dish to one of his teammates for an easy basket against a porous interior defense.

Giddey is fresh off an 18-point showing against Cleveland, and has now hit 18 points and assists in three straight, only missing the mark twice in his last six.

Josh Hart Over 12.5 Points

It's not 2023 anymore. Josh Hart is now somewhat of a scorer for this Knicks team.

The do-it-all wing has averaged 13.8 points per game this season -- his highest output in two seasons -- and he's shot 58.9% from the field which is well above his career mark of 46.2%.

• That's because Hart has hyper-focused his offense on getting to the rim, shooting 42% of his shots in the restricted area to put him just outside the top 10% of the league in shot frequency.

Hart has hit 81% of these shots, and he should run into little resistance on Wednesday against a Bulls frontcourt which has ranked even worse than the Knicks in defending the rim, allowing a 72% field goal percentage that's only been topped by the Washington Wizards.

With Chicago also allowing the second-highest shot frequency at the rim, I think there's no better man to look to for buckets on this Knicks team than Hart.
