The Chicago Bulls haven’t had the season they hoped for after briefly leading the Eastern Conference last year. Their big three — Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic — may not have what it takes to get the team over the top. That said, Chicago has a winnable matchup against the Detroit Pistons in Paris on Thursday. The game will tip off at 3 p.m. ET. Bettors should target this Bulls-Pistons NBA player prop for Thursday’s action — too much value remains on the player prop markets for Patrick Williams.

Best Bulls-Pistons NBA Player Prop | Patrick Williams
Patrick Williams Prop O/U 1.5 3-Pointers
The Detroit Pistons have put out a lengthy injury report in advance of Thursday’s game. Centers Jalen Duren and Nerlens Noel are both questionable. The two big men missed Detroit’s last contest, a 13-point home loss to the New York Knicks, on Sunday. Fortunately for Detroit, both were able to make the trip abroad. The Pistons also got big man Isaiah Stewart back from an injury on Sunday.
Detroit should have the necessary personnel to put up a fight in the paint, which will open up opportunities for Patrick Williams on the perimeter. Williams leads the Bulls in corner 3s made (0.7) and attempted (1.5) per game. With Detroit’s defense allowing the 12th-most made corner 3s per game (3.4) — and the fifth-most from the left corner (1.9) — Williams should find a way to score at least two buckets from long distance.

Williams has been hot from the boundary of late. He is averaging 2.1 3-pointers per game in January, up from his season average of 1.5. He played the Detroit Pistons on Dec. 30 and shot 2-for-4 from beyond the arc. Both of those makes came from the corner. The trip to Europe could throw Williams off, but his solid recent form and recent success against Detroit make him a sharp bet to splash in a pair of triples on Thursday.
