NBA Parlays for Thursday
May 19, 2022 8:15 pm EDT
The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat face off in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Thursday. Let’s take a look at a couple of NBA parlays off of this game to make you some money.
Miami Heat, Boston Celtics over 207.5 -110 / Jimmy Butler over 24.5 -150 // $10 bet pays $21.82
The Heat and Celtics are both going to find plenty of offensive success in this game. In the first game of the series, the final score was 118-107. Even though Marcus Smart might come back in this game, I still don’t see the Celtics’ defense being all that better. The Celtics’ offense will continue to find success, and score at least 107 points, and this game is going to be higher scoring. Back the over.
It’s pretty clear that Jimmy Butler is going to get a friendly whistle when he drives to the basket. Butler finished the first game with 41 points, and he went 17 of 18 from the free-throw line. Butler is going to continue to drive to the basket, get the friendly whistle, and he is going to find a ton of success scoring again. Since this is a parlay, I am playing it a bit safe with the total, but you could bet this up a bit to over 26.5 or 27. Bet This Today at DraftKings Click Here.
Tyler Herro under 13.5 points +150 / Boston Celtics ML +115 // $10 bet pays $43.75
This is more of a value parlay that has a chance for a strong payout. I expect Tyler Herro is going to be one of the players the Celtics really key on trying to take away from. In the last game, Herro finished with 18 points, but in each of the previous two games, he only scored 10 points. Herro isn’t going to be as hot from deep, and under is going to cash here.
I still think the Celtics have a great chance to win this series, and that starts with a victory on Thursday night. The Heat’s defense didn’t look all that impressive in the first game, instead, it was the offense that won them the game. I still think Butler has a big game, but the Celtics will take away some of the other key players with Smart back, and the Celtics will find a way to secure the win. Back the Celtics on the money line. Bet This Today at Bet MGM Click Here.
