The Antetokounmpo and Adebayo 4 Leg Play-In Rematch Parlay, by Agent Dime
Four Miami lines. Giannis Antetokounmpo's and Bam Adebayo's scoring, Adebayo on the glass, and one three from Andrew Wiggins.
Dime stays away from Charlotte's guards while Kon Knueppel and Coby White are day-to-day, since either return reshuffles the minutes. Brandon Miller is 4 of 25 from three this season, so Dime leaves his lines alone too.
| Player | Lean | 2025-26 | Dime’s read |
|---|---|---|---|
| Giannis AntetokounmpoHeat | Points over | 27.6 PPG, 36 games | Twenty is well under the 35 and 36 he has scored for Miami. |
| Bam AdebayoHeat | Points over | 20.1 PPG, 73 games | Ten is half his average, after a four-point night in foul trouble. |
| Bam AdebayoHeat | Rebounds over | 10.0 RPG, 73 games | Six boards against a 10.0 average; he had 7 and 6 this week. |
