The Eastern Conference Play-in Tournament had plenty of spice on Tuesday night as the Magic beat the Hawks. While Orlando moves on to face the Celtics, Atlanta waits for the winner of Wednesday’s matchup between the Heat and Bulls to battle for the No. 8 seed on Friday. Elimination games always bring extra layers of drama, and it should be a great game on Wednesday at the United Center. Let’s take a look at my top three Bulls vs. Heat player prop bets on DraftKings Sportsbook.
In the bigger picture, the Bulls are 1.5-point home favorites with the total set at O/U 219 points. The Heat listed Pelle Larsson (ankle) and Nikola Jovic (hand) as questionable, while the Bulls’ injury report includes Josh Giddey (hand) and Dalen Terry (calf) as probable.
Best Bulls vs. Heat Player Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Josh Giddey to record a triple-double (+150)
DK Sportsbook has lots of different ways to back Giddey, and I like his Points + Rebounds + Assists to be 40+ at +105, but let’s not get overly complicated. As long as the Bulls’ point guard is healthy, he should be good to go off against the Heat.
He only had seven triple-doubles all season, but two of them came in his last two meetings with the Heat. He had 26 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in 37 minutes on March 8, and last week, he had 28 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists.
Giddey has been outstanding down the stretch for Chicago with five of his triple-doubles coming in his last 12 games while he averaged 20.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 9.8 assists. In one of those games, he even came off the bench, so he would have even better numbers in recent games in which he is 100%.
He has had a week off since torching the Heat last Wednesday, and I expect a repeat performance this week. I love getting him at +150 to hit this mark.
Andrew Wiggins over 7.5 Rebounds + Assists (-125)
After missing six games, Wiggins returned for two games last week and went over this line in just 27 minutes against the Bulls and 24 minutes against the Pelicans. While he has been banged up since arriving in Miami, he has played 17 games and averaged 4.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
He has gone over this amount of rebounds and assists in each of his last five games and in seven of his last 10.
Wiggins only had three rebounds and one assist the first time he faced the Bulls as a member of the Heat, but he had six rebounds and five assists against them last week to go comfortably over this number. It does depend on who is around him, but if he gets his regular minutes he should get enough boards and dishes for this to be one of my top Heat at Bulls props this Wednesday.
Coby White over 31.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (+100)
White had an ugly end to the regular season, going just 1-for-6 in 19 minutes in a meaningless win over the Sixers. He also didn’t look great in limited minutes against the Wizards in the game before that, playing just 28 minutes but still posting 29 PRA (Points + Rebounds + Assists). In his previous game against Miami, he had 23 PRA.
While he was under this number in each of those three games, he was over this number in 13 of his previous 14 games.
As long as there isn’t an injury or something we don’t know about that White is dealing with, he should be able to bounce back with a big game against Miami. He is a volume scorer and should be able to light up the Heat while carrying the load alongside Giddey. One unintended consequence to his slow finish is that this number is extremely low to get at plus-money.
