The Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls will face off on Friday with their seasons on the line. I expect star players on both sides to do all they can to prolong their season.
From a betting perspective, that opens up some Same Game Parlay (SGP) opportunities to put together for this game. Here are a couple of Heat vs Bulls parlays I will be playing on Friday.
NBA odds used for these Heat vs Bulls SGPs are current as of Thursday, April 13, at 5 p.m. ET.
Heat vs Bulls Best Same Game Parlay
Heat vs Bulls Best SGP (+155) • DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 1 Unit
- Bam Adebayo 15+ Points (-390)
- Nikola Vučević 10+ Points (-800)
- Bam Adebayo 2+ Assists (-450)
- Coby White 1+ Three Pointers Made (-500)
- Nikola Vučević 8+ Rebounds (-450)
Adebayo has scored at least 15 points in seven of his past nine head-to-head meetings with Vučević. Chicago’s strength defensively is on the perimeter with Alex Caruso and Patrick Beverley.
I expect Miami to rely on Adebayo as a focal point of their offensive game plan.
Not to be outdone, Vučević has had success against the Heat in recent years, as he has recorded eight double-doubles in his past 10 meetings with Adebayo.
Finally, to cap this NBA bet of the day, I am picking Coby White to make at least one three-pointer. I expect Miami to shuffle their starting lineup, putting a greater emphasis on the defensive end.
That should enable White to operate against lesser defenders as part of the second unit.
White closed the regular season by knocking down at least one triple in 13 of 15 games. I expect him to keep that momentum going, especially if he is guarded by Gabe Vincent and/or Max Strus.
Heat vs Bulls Longshot Parlay
Heat vs Bulls Longshot SGP (+1001) • FanDuel Sportsbook
WAGER: 0.25 Units
- Bam Adebayo Over 17.5 Points (-166)
- Nikola Vučević Over 12.5 Points (-320)
- Nikola Vučević 10+ Rebounds (-195)
- Coby White Over 9.5 Points (+102)
- Coby White Over 1.5 Threes Made (+100)
- Jimmy Butler 1+ Steals (-430)
The Bulls defeated the Heat in all three regular-season matchups. I bring this up because Adebayo took at least 15 shots in all three meetings.
The Bulls will be willing to let Adebayo put up plenty of shots while their wing defenders do their job on the perimeter.
Vučević posted at least 13 points and 10 rebounds in all three games against Miami this season. He has reached these thresholds in 10 of his last 14 matchups against Adebayo.
White scored in double figures in 11 of his last 14 regular-season games excluding Sunday’s season finale, in which he only played 15 minutes. He also made multiple threes in 11 of those 14 games, clearing both hurdles in 10 of 14 contests.
Betting on Jimmy Butler to record at least one steal is never a bad idea. He has at least one theft in 11 of 12 career games against his former squad.
That includes six instances where he had at least four steals.
