Heat vs Trail Blazers same-game parlay
Bam Adebayo is having a solid campaign, averaging 17.2 PPG. The Heat big man has been on a different level as of late, though, cashing the Over in points in four of his last five appearances.
Donovan Clingan leads the Blazers in rebounds with 10.9 per contest. While he’s only cashed the Over once in his last five contests, there’s reason to believe he could have a massive game down low.
The Heat are considered an easy matchup for opposing centers, allowing over 15 rebounds per contest. They’re also Bottom 5 in the league overall in boards allowed.
