Best NBA Picks & Parlays for Heat vs. Celtics Tonight | 1/31/22

Same-game parlays are one of the most exciting new forms of betting on sports. Not only are the payouts potentially massive, but they can also be +EV. Since all of the wagers take place in the same contest, it allows you to craft a narrative that can pay off royally if it hits. Same-game parlays become even better with the help of OddsShopper. It allows you to view all of the different wagers available for each game compared to the Awesemo NBA Projections. The wider the gap between the line and the projection, the more +EV the wager. This allows you to easily find the best odds and picks for NBA betting tonight. Let’s dive into some of the best NBA picks and parlays for Monday, Jan. 31.

Same Game NBA Picks and Parlays: Heat vs. Celtics

The first step is finding which sport you are going to wager on, so the banner at the top of the screen has the sports separated. Once you are on the NBA page, it is super simple to customize what you are looking for as far as teams and players on the left-hand side of the page.

Now, if you miss one of the odds highlighted in the article because it changed, do not worry. The lines do not always stay the same as they are updated every two minutes. There will be examples of when you can still wager based on the Awesemo projections. It is also easy to sort the props by what style you want to bet them, meaning that you can choose the highest ROI or the highest expected win rate.

Generally, the best approach is a mix of the highest ROI and expected win rate, and this process should take under 30 seconds to filter what you are looking for. The highlighted wagers in the article can also be bet individually, so if the parlay misses by one leg, it is not a total loss.

Bam Adebayo Over 9.5 Rebounds and Over 16.5 Points

This matchup between the Celtics and Heat is not expected to be very fruitful in terms of scoring. Both teams rank in the top seven in terms of defensive efficiency, and they are also in the bottom six in terms of pace. That is a not good formula for scoring, and the 209.5 total is the second-lowest mark on the slate.

Still, this stands out as a potential smash spot for Adebayo. The Heat are going to be without both Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler, and Adebayo has thrived with both players off the floor this season. He has not played a ton of minutes in that situation, but Adebayo has increased his production to 22.0 points and 12.1 rebounds per 36 minutes. Adebayo has played at least 36 minutes in back-to-back games, and he should be looking at another massive workload on Monday. Omer Yurtseven is also out of the lineup, so the Heat have minimal depth behind Adebayo at center.

Duncan Robinson Over 2.5 Rebounds

Robinson is known for his 3-point shooting prowess more than his rebounding ability, but he should see a sizable workload given the Heat’s absences. Awesemo’s projections currently have Robinson for just under 35 minutes, and asking any NBA player to grab three rebounds with that much playing time should not be an issue. Robinson has averaged 4.1 rebounds per 36 minutes this season, so this number seems too low.

Al Horford Over 5.5 Rebounds

Horford has been extremely up and down for the Celtics this season. He came out of the gates red hot, but his production has diminished as the season has progressed.

However, Horford has started to get more involved for the Celtics recently. He has averaged 26.5 minutes over his past eight games, and that number would be higher if not for an outlier 16.3 minute-performance against the Hawks. Overall, Horford has averaged 6.8 rebounds over that stretch and he has grabbed at least six boards in six of those contests.

This prop is available at close to even money across the industry, giving the over one of the top expected returns on investments on OddsShopper.

Jayson Tatum Under 26.5 Points

Tatum has been scorching hot recently. He is coming off 38 points in his last outing and he has averaged 30.1 points over his previous seven games.

That said, those performances have come against some weak defenses. He has torched teams like the Pelicans, Hornets, Kings and Blazers, who are among the worst defensive teams in the league. The Heat represent a significant step up in weight class and they limited Tatum to just 10 points in their first matchup this season. Tatum has averaged 26.2 points per game this season, so I do not think he has been priced properly in this spot. I am willing to bet on some regression with the under.
