LEG 1: Al Horford 2+ Threes Made
LEG 2: Kevin Love 2+ Threes Made
Usually we break our parlay legs down one by one, but in this instance they really need to be spoken about together. Expect fireworks from the three-point line in this series between the top two perimeter shooting teams left in the playoffs. The Heat and Celtics were behind only the Golden State Warriors in the Conference Semifinals for three-point attempts per game, getting off an average of 38 attempts from range per game each, more than 10 per game more than the Lakers and Nuggets who are battling it out in the West right now.
Horford and Love are expected to match up on each other to start this series, and both guys should see volume. Love averaged almost 5 3PA in the Heat's series against the Knicks while Horford averaged 5.7. Both teams were able to break down their opponents and get this far by being able to effectively get their big men into space to hit crucial threes and we're expecting to see that again from the two power forwards.

LEG 3: Jimmy Butler 6+ Assists
Jimmy Buckets has been the story of these playoffs. The Heat will need another huge series from Butler if they are going to continue to push for the title, and we've got our eyes on his playmaking ability for Game 1. The marquee man in Miami was prolific as a facilitator on offense for the Heat in their series against the Knicks, averaging six assists per game to go along with 13.2 potential assists per game, proving his ability to continously find his teammates for shots. With Kyle Lowry expected to come off the bench, Butler will be tasked with running the offense for the first unit. Our projections have him down for six dimes in this one.
