The Tatum and White 5 Leg Causeway Street Parlay, by Agent Dime
Five lines. Jayson Tatum's assists, Derrick White's points and Paul George's assists for Boston, then Caleb Wilson's points and Josh Giddey's rebounds for Chicago.
Patrick Williams and Noa Essengue are day-to-day for Chicago after both missed Saturday's game, so the Bulls' forward minutes are hard to read. Dime stays with the starters on both sides.
