Tuesday’s NBA Play-In Tournament game between the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks has some interesting matchups we can use to create a Same Game Parlay.
Here is a Heat vs Hawks SGP I put together and will be playing for this matchup, as well as a longshot SGP for those looking for a bigger payoff.

- Dejounte Murray 1+ Steals (-275)
I expect the Heat to win this game. They are the better team and have homecourt advantage. They have been able to limit Atlanta’s three-point shooting in their meetings during the regular season, and I expect them to do so again in this matchup.
So what do the NBA odds for this parlay have in store?
Jimmy Butler will be a big part of Miami’s offensive attack on Tuesday. Miami will run action through him to try to get him isolated against Trae Young.
If Butler gets matched up with Young, he can simply overpower him. If the Hawks fight through screens to avoid Young guarding Butler, the latter can attack the basket.
Butler is still one of the best in the league at drawing fouls. He attempted 27 free throws in the three games against the Hawks this season.
Bam Adebayo cleared this number in all four meetings against Miami this season. He can score down low as well as facilitate for his teammates.
I do not know if he can get to 20 points, but I like the chances of totaling at least 20 combined points and assists.
In addition to his offensive chops, Butler is one of the game’s best defenders. He finished second in the NBA, averaging 1.8 steals per game.
I would not be surprised to see him get multiple thefts on Tuesday. But we need just one here for this SGP, which feels pretty safe.
On the other side of the ball, Dejounte Murray is also perennially among the league leaders in steals. He picked up his game on that end of the floor toward the end of the season, churning out had at least one steal in six straight and 16 of 17 games to wrap up before the playoffs.
This parlay I chose for my NBA bet of the day has a lot of legs but also boasts a strong foundation.
Heat vs Hawks Longshot Same Game Parlay
Heat vs Hawks Longshot SGP (+1000) • DraftKings Sportsbook
WAGER: 0.25 units
- Heat -4.5 (-110)
- Jimmy Butler OVER 24.5 Points (-215)
- Bam Adebayo 2+ Assists (-475)
- Jimmy Butler 2+ Steals (-110)
- Dejounte Murray 2+ Steals (+155)
As you can see, these picks are based on the ones in the first SGP I listed, so I will try not to repeat myself here. But I will address a couple of quick points.
I was tempted to include Bam Adebayo to get five or more assists in this game. He had five assists in three of the four meetings against Atlanta this season.

Unfortunately, the only options available are 2+, 5+, and 8+. If we see a 3+ or a 4+, I would be inclined to add that here.
Regarding the steals, Murray had a total of seven steals in the four games he played against Miami this year. That includes multiple steals in each of their last three head-to-head meetings.
