Bobby Portis Under 0.5 3PT Made (+110)
Bobby Portis is averaging just 17 minutes per game since the start of May. He’s also taking just two three-pointers per game over his last 12 contests. The opportunities may just not be there for Portis to hit a three-pointer.
Bam Adebayo Over 5.5 Assists (+105)
Bam Adebayo has hit this mark in five of his last 10 games, giving this line a little bit of value with plus-money odds. The Heat generally play their best when Adebayo is making plays, so maybe the game plan will be to let the offense through Adebayo.
