B. Coulibaly vs CHA 19/12/24
B. Coulibaly 13.5 Over
I don’t think the line will be adjusted because he’s still flying under the radar, but I planned to play it right after the Boston game. It’s clear he’s been given a much bigger offensive role in recent matches, and he’s making good use of it. The coach even praised his current style of play and said he’ll encourage him to keep it up. Realistically, the Wizards need to lean on their younger players and give them more chances. They’ll likely try to trade Poole and Valančiūnas soon, so there’s no point in forcing them, as we already know what they can do. They won’t build the franchise around those guys, and they’re available in potential trades, which might happen even today.
Regarding Coulibaly, it’s clear he has potential, but it needs to be turned into quality, and that requires playing time and shots. He’s been getting that in the last three games. Against Memphis, in 28 minutes, he took 13 shots and scored 17 points. Against the Cavs, he got 40 minutes and 18 shots, scoring 27 points. Against Boston in the last game, he took 20 shots for 19 points. Right after that game, the Wizards’ coach complained that the refs weren’t giving him calls, even though he often attacked the rim, and said that needs to change. He also said Coulibaly would continue playing this way and that he expects even better performances from him. To me, that signals that they’re counting on him for the future and that his offensive role will grow, so I think this line will keep rising game by game.
Of course, he’s not a fully developed player yet, and he could have a terrible shooting night, but I’m sure he’ll have the volume and that plenty of plays will be drawn up for him. Their opponent is Charlotte, which is a suitable matchup. The Hornets are known for putting strong pressure on ball-handlers, which I think will make things harder for Poole, another plus for this pick. The Hornets are also statistically below league average at defending his position, which works in our favor. In my opinion, it’s a bet worth taking, and we’ll see what happens on the floor. Good luck.
