Heat vs Trail Blazers best bet: Trail Blazers moneyline (-120)

The Portland Trail Blazers are exceeding expectations this season, sitting in a Play-In spot with a 22-22 record. 

They’re 8-2 in their last 10 contests, and they’ve notched wins against the Hawks, Lakers, and Kings over the last week. Two of those victories have been at home, and the Blazers own a 12-10 record at the Moda Center. 

The Miami Heat, meanwhile, are just 8-14 on the road, and they’ve gone 4-6 across their previous 10 outings.

Portland is playing like a confident group, and they will get the job done again tonight.

Heat vs Trail Blazers same-game parlay

Bam Adebayo is having a solid campaign, averaging 17.2 PPG. The Heat big man has been on a different level as of late, though, cashing the Over in points in four of his last five appearances. 

Donovan Clingan leads the Blazers in rebounds with 10.9 per contest. While he’s only cashed the Over once in his last five contests, there’s reason to believe he could have a massive game down low. 

The Heat are considered an easy matchup for opposing centers, allowing over 15 rebounds per contest. They’re also Bottom 5 in the league overall in boards allowed.
