Bam Adebayo (MIA) Over 17.5 points (-115)
Odds available at DraftKings Sportsbook at time of publishing.
Bam Adebayo is ready to take the next step for the Heat with Jimmy Butler shipped out to Golden State. Playing without Butler was already the norm for Adebayo. In 26 games sans Butler, Adebayo has scored at least 18 points on 15 occasions — including in his last 8 consecutively. Even with Andrew Wiggins now in the mix, Adebayo is still looking at upwards of 15 field-goal attempts per contest. The former Kentucky star has eclipsed this line in 15 of 22 games when getting that volume.
Adebayo and the Heat’s counterpart will be the Toronto Raptors, playing without big man Jakob Poeltl. This is a team that already ranks in the bottom half of the league in points allowed in the paint. Without Poeltl, the Raptors will be in even more trouble down low.

Bilal Coulibaly (WAS) Over 9.5 rebounds+assists (+110)
Odds available at Bet365 at time of publishing.
Bilal Coulibaly will welcome new teammate Khris Middleton to the starting lineup against his former team, the Milwaukee Bucks. Middleton hasn’t played since February 2, so a minutes restriction could be in line in his first game as a Washington Wizard. Coulibaly has consistently seen 32+ minutes for the Wizards, as he is ultimately the future of this moribund franchise — which is hoping the ping balls line up for the #1 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. When seeing at least 30 minutes of floor time, Coulibaly is over this line in half the games this season.
The Bucks find themselves on the second leg of a back-to-back after a big win last night over the Clippers. The Bucks limited Giannis Antetokounmpo to fewer than 25 minutes since he is still nursing an injury, so we could see a short-handed Bucks squad — thus making this game more competitive.
