Miami Heat vs. Orlando Magic
- Leg 1: Haywood Highsmith Under 5.5 Points (-132)
- Leg 2: Tyler Herro Under 5.5 Assists (-142)
- Leg 3: Bam Adebayo Under 10.5 Rebounds (-120)
Right off the bat, Jimmy Butler likely won’t play in tonight’s game for the Heat. If he’s out, the Heat could struggle to score points tonight.
Haywood Highsmith has scored no more than three points in four consecutive games. His usage has been low. He’s attempted no more than four field goals in five of his last six games. He’ll go up against an Orlando defense that ranks No. 1 in the NBA in points allowed to small forwards. The shot volume won’t be there for Highsmith tonight.
Meanwhile, if guys don’t score, it’s had to rack up assists. While Tyler Herro added nine against Brooklyn, he’s earned six or more assists in only 30% of games this season. On the other hand, shooting guards have added just 3.92 assists per game against the Magic. Orlando ranks No. 1 in that category as well.
Finally, Bam Adebayo hasn’t earned more than 10 rebounds in four straight games. That should continue, knowing Orlando has limited centers to just 13.43 rebounds per game this season. Orlando ranks third in the NBA in rebounding against centers.
Parlay Odds: +400
Toronto Raptors vs. Memphis Grizzlies
- Leg 1: Jaren Jackson Jr. Over 19.5 Points (-118)
- Leg 2: RJ Barrett Under 1.5 Threes (+100)
- Leg 3: Desmond Bane Under 5.5 Rebounds (-160)
After a 24-point performance against the Clippers, Jaren Jackson Jr. is in line for another massive game tonight. Jackson Jr. has added at least 20 points in 64% of games this year. Now, he’ll take on a Toronto team that has allowed 23.45 points per game to centers, which ranks 23rd in the NBA. Jackson Jr. has been earning some high usage. That should continue tonight.
Meanwhile, RJ Barrett has earned at least two threes in just one of his last three games. Tonight, he’ll battle a Memphis defense ranked second in the NBA in limiting three-pointers to shooting guards. Shooting guards have shot just 28.99% from downtown against the Grizzlies this season.
Lastly, Desmond Bane has added at least six rebounds in just four of his last five games. He’ll likely struggle against a Toronto defense that ranks No. 1 in the NBA in rebounds allowed to shooting guards. Toronto has allowed just 4.92 rebounds per game to all shooting guards this season. Finish the parlay with an under on his rebounds prop.
