Parlay: Trail Blazers +8.5 + Simons over 4.5 assists + Herro over 22.5 points (+290)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trail Blazers +8.5 (-240):<\/strong> Portland is closer to the top of the draft lottery than it is to a play-in spot, but the team hasn’t totally quit on what looks like a lost season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trail Blazers have rattled off four ATS victories in a row \u2014 all as underdogs \u2014 and have covered this number in seven of their past eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miami earned a surprising road win over the Golden State Warriors this past Tuesday, but the team is still in a slump overall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their past nine games, the Heat have three outright losses as favourites, and they’ve only covered this number twice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, and Miami is 1-6 ATS as a road favourite this year. Portland, meanwhile, is 9-5 ATS as a home underdog, per Team Rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SGP legs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Simons over 4.5 assists (-165):<\/strong> Simons takes more shots and scores more points for Portland than anyone else. But he’s also the team’s leading passer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His 5.1 assists per game isn’t a staggering total, but it means he’s good for this over more often than not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Simons has cashed this bet in 21\/34 games (61.8%).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • He has 5+ assists in 15\/19 games since Nov. 27.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Simons hasn’t faced the Heat yet this season, but tonight’s matchup should be a good one for him. Miami allows the eighth-most assists to opposing point guards (9.5\/game), according to Betting Pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Herro over 22.5 points<\/strong> (-130):<\/strong> With or without Jimmy Butler, Herro has been the Heat’s primary scoring option this year. The sixth-year guard seems to have found a new ceiling as a scorer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • After three straight seasons averaging between 20.0 and 21.0 PPG, Herro is up to a career-high 23.6 PPG this year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Herro is on track for career-best marks in FG%, eFG%, 3PT%, 3PA and FTA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Over his past 15 games, Herro has cashed this bet nine times. And in 14 games without Butler, he’s averaging 23.2 PPG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Portland allows the third-most points to opposing point guards (26.2\/game).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
