Wednesday’s Best NBA Play-In Tournament Same Game Parlays

Miami Heat at Chicago Bulls
- Leg 1: Bulls -1 (-105)
- Leg 2: Bam Adebayo 20+ Points (-115)
- Leg 3: Coby White 23+ Points (-105)
This game looks like a pick-em, but Chicago has the advantage by winning all three games. Both teams lost their best players but still snuck into the tournament.
Chicago played better, even after they traded Zach LaVine. From March 1, they went 15-7, the seventh-best winning percentage. They were doing well on both sides of the ball as they were 12th in defense rating and 14th in offensive rating.
Josh Giddey and Coby White have been a great duo in the backcourt, and they've helped the Bulls play a more sped-up offense.
The Heat have experience from playing in this tournament and taking that route to the NBA Finals. Miami is one of the slowest-paced offenses in the league, at 97.2 possessions per game (27th), but instead of trying to control the pace of the play, they allow their opponents to set the tone.
Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro have become the two primary offensive playmakers. The Bulls’ perimeter defense has been struggling, and Herro has performed well, including 30 points in the last game.
We've seen these turn into higher-scoring games as Chicago controls the pace. If they're allowed to do that again, they should move on.

Sacramento Kings at Dallas Mavericks
- Leg 1: Mavericks +4.5 (-105)
- Leg 2: Domantis Sabonis 14+ Rebounds (-130)
- Leg 3: Anthony Davis 26+ Points (-120)
You have to credit the Mavericks; with the Luka Doncic trade and all of the injuries, they could have packed it in and prepared for the offseason. This group stayed resilient, and with Anthony Davis’ return, they might have the spark to go further than expected.
If they are going to win, they need to speed up the tempo, move the ball around, and get Sacramento off-balance on defense. Directly at the rim and from three are the Kings’ biggest defensive weaknesses; Davis can have a big game on boards and keep Klay behind the arch against the worst three-point defense in the league.
Dallas will need to tighten its defense at half-court because the Kings will live at the perimeter. This offense will run through Sabonis on the post, and he'll either take the shot himself or try to create shots for DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine.
It will be difficult to guard someone like Sabonis because of his versatility. He's great at moving around to create mismatches, can shoot from long range, and is one of the best rebounders, having just led the league for the third straight year.
The Kings might not have the home advantage by dropping six of their last ten. Still, with already sweeping the Mavericks during the regular season and this group playing with each other longer than the Mavericks, the Kings have a good chance of moving on in the tournament, but Dallas could make this one tight.
