Bojan Bogdanovic Over 16.5 Points (+102)

Rudy Gobert Over 13.5 Rebounds (-122)

Parlay odds: +772

Utah Jazz -4.5 Alternative Spread (+182)

Everyone was ready to crown the Heat NBA champions after their 6-1 start. I thought that was a bit premature. We had the Celtics as a +240 underdog in Thursday’s edition of our mega parlay, and sure enough they beat Miami. The Heat only mustered 78 points in that game, and I just haven’t been as impressed with them as everybody else. Utah is 7-1 this season, with their only loss coming on the road against a really tough Bulls team. They just blew out the Hawks by 18 on the road in their most recent game. They did it without Donovan Mitchell too, who is questionable to return here. If Mitchell is back on the floor I love this bet. But even if he isn’t, this team is very deep, and they have five different guys averaging at least 15.5 points per game. People forget very easily that the Jazz had the best record in the Western Conference last year.

Bojan Bogdanovic Over 16.5 Points (+102)

With Mitchell set to miss this game for the Jazz, the points will have to come from somewhere and why not the Croatian sharpshooter? In the last game against the Hawks it was Jordan Clarkson who dropped 30 in Mitchell’s absence, but a team like Miami will be aware of that, so the Jazz will look for other options. Bogey has been a consistent second scoring option for this team in the past couple of seasons, he’s averaging 17.5 points per game currently. He also had a decent game against the Hawks with 23 points, it was his second straight game of 20+ points. If he drains a couple of early shots, it’s going to be a productive night from him.

Rudy Gobert Over 13.5 Rebounds (-122)

Gobert is averaging historic numbers so far this season, dating back to the glory days of Dennis Rodman and the Chicago Bulls. Just on the defensive end he’s averaging 13.9 rebounds per game which would put him over tonight’s total. To put it further into perspective he has gone over 13.5 rebounds in all but one game so far this season and in his last two games he’s had 15 and 20 respectfully. Miami is good at rebounding the ball, but they haven’t dealt with someone like Gobert so far this season. And it’s also worth pointing out that Bam Adebayo had only 7 boards in their previous game against Boston, he could still be bothered by the knee injury which cost him to miss a game a week ago.
