DeMar DeRozan's recent hot streak make him a prime candidate to crush the over on 27.5 points and rebounds in the upcoming Chicago-Philadelphia showdown. 

If you're looking for a solid NBA bet that could pay off big, look no further than DeMar DeRozan's over on 27.5 points and rebounds in the highly anticipated matchup between the Chicago Bulls and the Philadelphia 76ers. DeRozan, who has been on an absolute tear lately, is showing no signs of slowing down as the Bulls continue to jostle for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Bulls' star has been putting up some seriously impressive numbers this season, averaging 30.18 points and rebounds overall. 

But let's dive a little deeper into the data to see just how strong of a case there is for DeRozan to hit the over on 27.5 points and rebounds. In 65 games this season, the Bulls' forward has eclipsed the 27.5 mark in 41 games, while falling short in just 24 games. When it comes to more recent performances, DeRozan's numbers are even more convincing.

Over the last 20 games, DeRozan has been averaging 27.75 points and rebounds, surpassing the 27.5 mark in 11 of those contests. But if we narrow the scope even further and look at his last 10 games, the case for the over becomes even stronger. In those 10 games, DeRozan has been a force to be reckoned with, averaging 31.8 points and rebounds and topping the 27.5 line in 8 games.

If that's not enough to convince you, consider his performance in the past 5 games. DeRozan has been absolutely unstoppable, averaging a whopping 39.0 points and rebounds and crushing the 27.5 mark in all 5 games. This upward trend in his performances only adds to the likelihood that he'll continue this hot streak against the 76ers.

In fact, DeRozan even has a solid track record against Philly specifically. In the 3 games he's played against the 76ers this season, he's averaged 25.67 points and rebounds. While this number might seem slightly lower than his season and recent averages, it's important to remember that DeRozan is currently in the midst of an outstanding hot streak and now playing the power forward, making him a prime candidate to outperform his previous showings against Philadelphia.

The Bulls-76ers matchup is sure to be a heated battle, with both teams looking to make a statement as the playoffs approach. With Chicago fighting for their playoff lives and DeRozan playing some of the best basketball of his career, it's hard not to see him going all out in this crucial game against a harden-less 76ers.

So, when it comes time to place your bets for the Chicago-Philadelphia showdown, don't sleep on DeMar DeRozan's over on 27.5 points and rebounds. The numbers speak for themselves, and if DeRozan continues to play at this elite level, he's more than capable of surpassing that mark once again. Remember, the Bulls are relying on their stars to carry them to victory, and DeRozan has proven time and time again that he's up for the challenge.
