The lineup for today
If you are looking to play these picks in a parlay, we recommend the following adjustments for a +400 SGP:
After a valiant effort from the Heat to steal home court advantage in game 1, the Knicks fought back to even the series, while Miami were without their superstar Jimmy Butler. With the series moving to Miami, a number of key players are questionable, with Butler being chief among them. Having had a few days to rest in between the two games, we expect Butler to play, but perhaps not at his finest, leaving plenty of room for other Heat players to shine, which should be enough to give Miami a decisive advantage in the series.
Miami -4 (-110) | Game Line
The Heat have been an exceptional home team as of late, covering –4 in 75% of their last ten games. Given that game two saw both an exceptional shooting performance from New York and no Jimmy Butler for Miami and still only managed to be a narrow victory for the Knicks, this could easily turn out to be a big win for Miami.
Bam Adebayo o28.5 Points+Rebounds+Assists (-115) | Player Prop
Bam has been one of the integral pieces to Miami’s success this postseason, something that has been largely attributed to his ability to affect the game in many different ways. With Butler still questionable, this is an opportunity for the center to continue to shine as one of the main options: without Butler he hits this line 88% of the time.

Julius Randle o3.5 Assists (-110) | Player Prop
After missing game 1, Randle came back with a big showing in the second contest. Hitting this line in 58% of his games this year, the average jumps up when he plays 30 or more minutes, as he has this postseason, all the way to 62% of his games.
