The Celtics are hosting the Heat in Boston on Monday. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Celtics are 8.5-point favorites and this game’s total is set at 217.5 points.
Below, I have featured my favorite Bam Adebayo prop to consider from this contest.
Best Bam Adebayo Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Bam Adebayo O 33.5 PRA (-110)
There are many reasons to like Bam Adebayo for this over. First off, Jimmy Butler (knee) will be out for the Heat, which always increases Adebayo’s workload. With Butler off the floor this season, Adebayo’s usage has risen 1.8 percentage points to 23.3%. The center has made four starts with Butler inactive this season and Adebayo is averaging 35 PRA per game in those contests while going over 33.5 PRA in three of those four games.
This matchup vs. the Celtics is also a much better spot for Adebayo than it may seem at first glance. Boston ranks seventh in defensive efficiency this season, but it will be without Kristaps Porzingis (injury management), Jrue Holiday (knee) and Al Horford (toe). Furthermore, Jayson Tatum (knee), Jaylen Brown (illness) and Derrick White (foot) are questionable.
The Celtics’ main weakness this season has been their interior defense, with them giving up the third-most points in the paint. Now, with their top two bigs out in Porzingis and Horford, Boston should be even weaker inside and Adebayo should feast. Neemias Queta will likely start at center for the Celtics and the former second-round pick has been a defensive liability this season that opposing offenses have purposely attacked.
Feeding Adebayo should be a main part of Miami’s game plan Monday and he should exceed this 33.5 PRA combo line, possibly with ease.
