Bulls vs. Heat Parlay Analysis
Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat, 7:00PM ET
LEG 1: Max Strus Over 2.5 Threes
Both of these teams are among the NBA's leakiest three-point defenes, both ranking in the bottom third of the league this season for opponent three-point attempts allowed as well as three-point makes per game. Max Strus was down against the Hawks with just one three-pointer, but the five attempts he was able to get off was encouraging, and something we should see more of against the lackadaisical Bulls defense.

LEG 2: Zach LaVine Over 2.5 Threes
Sticking with the threes theme, and we're jumping across to the Bulls and their main scorer, Zach LaVine. LaVine increased his attempts from three in the final four games of April compared with March, going up to seven attempts from deep per game. His conversion at 23.1% was well below an acceptable range, but he has shown that he has been able to torch the Heat this season, hitting this line in both games he's played against them.
LEG 3: Jimmy Butler 6+ Assists
We didn't see the best of Jimmy Butler against the Hawks earlier this week, but Playoff Jimmy is a different beast and we should expect to see a much improved performance against his former team here. Butler leads the Heat by a considerable margin when it comes to playmaking on offense, averaging eight assists along with 14.3 potential assists over his last 10 games. Our projections have him down for six assists on the night.
