PropBam Adebayo UNDER 39.5 Total Points + Assists + Rebounds -115
86-51 in Last 137 NBA Player Props Picks
Alex's Analysis:
This is just a big number for Bam Adebayo even despite the Heat being shorthanded tonight. Orlando is an excellent defensive team and are currently ranked 2nd in total defense. Meanwhile the Heat play at one of the league's slowest paces and this game has the lowest total on tonight's slate. The Magic also guard opposing big's very well and will certainly make Bam the focal point of their defensive game plan.

10-4 in Last 14 NBA Player Props Picks
Matt's Analysis:
Not a follower when it comes to bets normally, although I'd be obtuse -- cue Andy Dufresne (Peter Griffin) in that Family Guy bit about Shawshank Redemption with the warden (Carter Pewterschmidt) that probably made me laugh harder than anything in that show's history -- not to at least look. Mackenzie Brooks made such a good case on this one that I'm tailing. Which means doom now Mackenzie, sorry. I'd like to do more NBA player props on my own but am on research overload as it is. Generally only play them when an injury/star resting, etc.

PropPaolo Banchero UNDER 41.5 Total Points + Assists + Rebounds -133
Mackenzie's Analysis:
Paolo Banchero runs into problems with Miami. The under is 4-0 vs Miami with just a 29.2 average. He's only shooting 30.4% from the field in the four matchups vs Bam Adebayo. On top of that, it's hard to imagine he'll be racking up assists when drawing double teams without his two best perimeter shooters in Franz Wagner and Gary Harris. Our Sportsline Model makes the number 34.5.
