NBA Playoffs Same Game Parlay Picks & Predictions: Sunday (Celtics vs. Heat)

by |

Jimmy Butler has never won an NBA Championship. He’s played in one, but he’s never won one.

This year, as an eight-seed, he’s got his best chance with the Miami Heat. The Heat are overachieving and playing terrific basketball throughout the playoffs.

They’re now 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics and have two home games coming up.

The Celtics are in big trouble. Will Boston show life in Game 3?

Here are multiple same-game parlays for tonight’s Eastern Conference Finals game between the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics.

Boston Celtics at Miami Heat

Gabe Vincent’s playoffs started so well. But he’s struggled from the field recently. Vincent played 40 minutes for the Heat in Game 2 and only made two shots. He also attempted just eight shots.

Against the Celtics, Vincent has now attempted an average of seven shots per game. He took 11 per game against the Knicks and nearly 12 per game against the Bucks. His volume is down, and he’s missing more shots. Take Vincent’s Under.

However, I’ll ride with Max Strus. Strus has nailed five threes against the Celtics in two games. He only had 11 points against the Celtics in Game 2 but 15 in Game 1. He’ll likely play closer to 35 minutes in Game 3 and has hit this line in four of his last five games.

Finally, Al Horford had just two points in Game 2. However, if the Celtics want to win Game 3, Horford will be a big piece. He averaged over seven points per game in his last series against the 76ers and even scored seven against the Heat in Game 1. He will play better and earn seven points in Game 3. The minutes will be there, and the shots will be there. We just have to count on him to make those shots. He will.

Boston Celtics at Miami Heat

I’ll start with Kyle Lowry in this parlay. Lowry’s minutes were limited in Game 2. He only played 17 minutes after shooting 0-for-5 from the field. He’s not going to be Miami’s primary scorer, but in those 17 minutes, he still had five assists. Lowry knows his assignment. He won’t be launching up many shots in Game 3, especially if he wants more minutes. He’ll be more effective when passing the rock.

Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler took 25 shots in Games 1 and 2 but also earned at least six assists in each game. Butler has earned at least six assists in four of his last five games and has shown no signs of slowing down in the playoffs. He’s filling up the box score everywhere.

Finally, while I don’t think Kevin Love has success scoring, I still think he’s a good enough rebounder. He has 11 rebounds in 31 minutes through two games against the Celtics. That’s a very solid pace. He’s hit this line in nine of his last ten games, so let’s finish off the parlay with Love to get at least five rebounds.
