Heat computer picks
Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 29.5 points (59%)
Projection: 27.81 points
Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.2 points per game in his first season with the Miami Heat, but he has finished Under his closing points line in four of six games. Even his 31-point night against the Pacers stayed Under a 31.5 number. The Los Angeles Lakers allow 115.0 points per game, 17th in the NBA, and our model projects 27.81 points, about 1.7 below the 29.5 line.

Klay Thompson Over 9.5 points (46%)
Projection: 10.98 points
Klay Thompson scored 25 points on 9-for-14 shooting in Friday's win over the Pacers and leads the Heat with 3.2 made 3-pointers per game, 13th in the NBA. Los Angeles has allowed 14.0 3-pointers per game this season. Our model projects 10.98 points, nearly 1.5 above the 9.5 line, though the 46% price shows the market is less convinced.
Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 11.5 rebounds (53%)
Projection: 10.24 rebounds
This Under goes against Antetokounmpo's season pace, as he is grabbing 12.3 rebounds per game, third in the NBA, and has finished Over his closing rebounds line in four of six games. The Lakers do allow only 41.7 rebounds per game, below the 43.7 Miami averages. Our model projects 10.24 rebounds, more than a full board Under the 11.5 line, which makes this one of the thinner leans.

Bam Adebayo Under 19.5 points (64%)
Projection: 17.67 points
Bam Adebayo is averaging 16.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals, though he scored 27 on 11-for-14 shooting in Friday's win over the Pacers. That outing is the main risk to this Under. Our model projects 17.67 points, nearly 2 below the 19.5 line and closer to his season average than to that big night.
Lakers computer picks
Luka Doncic Under 34.5 points (66%)
Projection: 30.98 points
Luka Doncic leads the NBA at 37.7 points per game and scored 37 at Golden State on Friday, so this Under fights his season pace. The risk is a Heat defense that allows 121.5 points per game, 26th in the league. Our model projects 30.98 points, more than 3.5 below the 34.5 line, so the case rests on the projection rather than his recent scoring.
Luka Doncic Under 4.5 threes (52%)
Projection: 3.77 threes
Doncic leads the NBA with 5.8 made 3-pointers per game and went 6-for-16 from deep on Friday, so this Under also runs against his season average. Our model projects 3.77 threes, roughly three-quarters of a make below the 4.5 line. The 52% price reflects how much this pick leans on the projection.
Austin Reaves Over 3.5 rebounds (58%)
Projection: 4.63 rebounds
Austin Reaves is averaging 3.4 rebounds, right at this line, and grabbed four against the Warriors on Friday. The matchup tilts in his favor, as Miami allows 46.5 rebounds per game, 23rd in the NBA, while the Lakers rank 28th in rebounds at 40.0 per game. Our model projects 4.63 rebounds, more than a full board above the 3.5 line.
Austin Reaves Under 2.5 threes (60%)
Projection: 2.13 threes
Reaves is making 2.3 3-pointers per game while scoring 23.1 points, and he went 1-for-6 from deep against the Warriors on Friday. His season average sits just under this line, so the Under is a close call. Our model projects 2.13 threes, about 0.4 below the 2.5 mark.
