"Bam Adebayo had 20 points and 12 rebounds and the Miami Heat held on for a 116-113 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night...."
Matchup Analysis
Boston's frontcourt defense ranks in the bottom half for opponent points in the paint at 52.3 per game, and with no H2H data available, Adebayo exploits their slower bigs like Al Horford by dominating the glass. The Celtics allow 12.8 rebounds to opposing centers, perfectly suiting Bam's athleticism.
Miami enters hot off a 54-point demolition of Chicago and multiple recent wins, projecting a total around 220 points that favors extended minutes for Adebayo. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra's emphasis on inside play amplifies Bam's rebounding chances against Boston's perimeter-focused scheme.
This prop is a lock based on Adebayo's trends, recent dominance, and Boston's vulnerabilities.

"Heat logran ventaja de 54 puntos y vence a Bulls 134-91 con Adebayo y Larsson anotando 20 cada uno..."
Matchup Analysis
Miami's defense concedes 26.4 opponent assists per game, ranking poorly against big-man passers, and Vucevic hits 67% in 3 H2H games by finding cutters against their aggressive help rotations.
Boston's recent form demands Vucevic's distribution in a projected high-pace game totaling 225 points, especially with Miami's backcourt vulnerabilities exposed in losses like the 125-118 defeat to short-handed Chicago.
Vucevic clearing OVER 2.5 assists looks primed given his hot streak and Miami's defensive gaps.
