3 Best Prop Bets for Heat vs. Bulls (LaVine a Good Bet to Go Big Tonight)
By Matt De Saro
The Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat clash tonight in what could be a preview of the upcoming Eastern Conference playoffs. Let’s take a look at some prop odds for this showdown, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.
3 Best Prop Bets for Heat vs. Bulls
- Zach LaVine OVER 29.5 Points + Assists (+145)
- Zach LaVine OVER 2.5 Threes Made (-110)
- Bam Adebayo OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-115)
Zach LaVine OVER 29.5 Points + Assists (+145)
LaVine has become the most important passer on the Bulls since the All-Star break. With Ball still out, LaVine has a lot of chances to rack up not only points but also assists. He is still dealing with some knee soreness and hasn’t looked as impressive on the scoring side of things, but is getting more involved as a facilitator. LaVine’s assist totals are low recently, but he has been plagued by poor shooting from his teammates. This is indicated by his 8.8 potential assists per game figure when compared with his actual number of 4.5.
Zach LaVine OVER 2.5 Threes Made (-110)
After being robbed of some explosiveness due to his dodgy knee, LaVine has been taking more shots from deep lately. He has attempted five or more threes in seven straight games and gone over this total in three of those seven. LaVine also went off on the Heat earlier in the season with seven threes made in a 33 point performance. LaVine is going to have the ball in his hands a lot and there is a good chance he pulls up and drops a few from behind the arc.
Bam Adebayo OVER 9.5 Rebounds (-115)
There are two factors that play into this bet tonight. The first is Adebayo’s recent success on the glass. He has double-digit boards in two straight games and averaged 10.3 rebounds in March. Secondly, the Bulls’ Nikola Vucevic has been doing a poor job of limiting opponent rebounds lately. In his last five games, Vucevic has allowed every starting center he played against to go over this total.
