Routing Help

Hi. This is my first post here. I'm not even sure I'm in the right forum but here goes.
I'm very new to award travel redemptions.
I booked 2 business class ewr-sin with transferred chase points for 287,000 krisflyer miles and $11.20. Not sure how awesome that is but I was happy I got those seats.


My wife and I are taking a trip later this year. We are flying into Singapore and out of Sydney. I was able to transfer chase points and book those lie flat business class seats nonstop to Singapore! Pretty proud of myself as this is my first real redemption aside from statement credits etc.
Where I'm running into trouble is figuring out my best options for getting home to north America from Sydney. I'm east coast US so I'm looking for nonstop to wherever I can get. Any help would be appreciated.

Points: 170k united, 120k chase, 250k amex, 123k Citi, 21k cap one, 19k AA (lol), and some IHG.
Depature: Sydney, Australia
Arrival: nonstop to any US airport (LAX, SFO, Dallas, Houston)
Itinerary: One Way
Dates: 12/6,12/7,12/8 2023. Later if absolutely necessary
Class: Business or First
Travelers: 2

Now I was assuming non-stop from Sydney to the west coast or maybe Texas. And then I can get any kind of flight home from there. But someone on Reddit suggested going back to Singapore and home from there. I'd like to prevent using up all of my points and miles if I can help it, so really I am looking for a really good value redemption. However my wife and I are both tall so I would definitely like business class at least for the longest leg of flying. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
