Tre Jones has scored 13, 11, ten and eight points to open the season, despite a smaller bench workload. If you’re building Bulls parlay picks around a Chicago win, his eight-point milestone offers a lower individual price than asking Matas Buzelis for ten.
This Side & Support Parlay Plays edition compares those two scoring contributions in Bulls wins. It gives you choices around that winner scenario, while keeping the current limitations in view: Buzelis missed his target in Chicago’s only win so far, and Jones is playing fewer minutes than he did last season. Follow the Knicks–Bulls matchup page for the game itself.
Two player options for a Bulls win
| Player / prop | DraftKings odds | Scenario | Scenario record | All appearances |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Matas Buzelis: 10+ points | -334 | Bulls wins | 86.2% (25/29) | 85.2% (69/81) |
| Tre Jones: 8+ points | -122 | Bulls wins | 89.3% (25/28) | 84.1% (58/69) |
Records use each player’s current-team appearances in the 2025–26 season and this season through October 27, 2026, including postseason games where played. Only completed games with playing time and the relevant statistic count; genuine zeros and shortened appearances remain included. DraftKings individual prices were checked October 28 and can change. These historical rates describe past results, not future probabilities or a parlay payout.
Matas Buzelis: 10+ points
Buzelis has reached ten in nine of his ten most recent appearances. This season’s totals are 17, seven, 21 and 11, which gives the target three supporting games and one particularly relevant miss: Chicago’s lone win came with Buzelis scoring seven in 17 minutes.
That game is included in the table, rather than set aside because the minutes were short. The longer win sample is favorable, but it mostly comes from last season. Buzelis is expected to play a regular starting role tonight, while his actual minutes this season have ranged from 17 to 35. His latest 11 points in 22 minutes cleared ten with little scoring room to spare.
DraftKings offers ten points at -334 and 12 at -193. That’s $29.94 versus $51.81 profit on a successful $100 stake. Twelve cleared in 21 of the same 29 Bulls wins, compared with 25 reaching ten. His latest 11-point result shows the exact gap between those choices.
Tre Jones: 8+ points
Jones reached eight in 25 of 28 sampled Chicago wins, including 11 points in its only win this season. All four current games reached eight, but the latest landed exactly there. He made just one field goal in that game and added six free throws, so the result shouldn’t be mistaken for a large volume of shots.
His role is the main qualification. Jones averaged roughly 27 minutes in his Chicago games last season; through four games this season, that average is 17.5. Tonight’s projection is an 18-minute bench role. The eight-point line has survived those recent smaller shifts, but most of the historical win sample reflects more playing time.
At -122, a successful $100 stake earns $81.97 profit. Dropping to six points costs -257 and pays $38.91; six cleared in all 28 sampled Bulls wins. The three winning games that missed eight ended with six, six and seven points despite 25 to 29 minutes of playing time. Paying more for the lower line buys room for those modest outings, without making tonight’s short bench shift automatic.
How much scoring do you want to ask for?
Buzelis’ ten-point milestone has a starting-role basis, but his seven-point game in Chicago’s only win is a useful warning against assuming every win needs his scoring. Jones offers a much larger payout at eight points, with less playing time to work with.
