Heat V Pelicans Odds: Bet the Under + Bam Adebayo PRA Over

The New Orleans Pelicans are 3.5-point home favorites against the Miami Heat on Friday night.
Betting the 219.0-point total to go under has -110 odds and hit in two of their last three matchups.
Bam Adebayo has -110 odds to go over 35.5 points, rebounds, and assists against the Pelicans.

NEW ORLEANS – The Miami Heat won six straight games against the New Orleans Pelicans since 2020. Despite this and winning six of their last eight games, legal Florida sports betting odds list the Heat as 3.5-point underdogs for Friday night’s game against the Pelicans.

Miami Heat Vs New Orleans Pelicans Betting Lines

Team	Spread	Moneyline	Total
Miami Heat	+3.5 (-115)	+140	O219.0 (-110)
New Orleans Pelicans	-3.5 (-105)	-165	U219.0 (-110)

Although the Heat’s +140 moneyline odds are a solid bet, wagering on the 219.0-point total at legal NBA betting sites to go under is even better. Five of the Heat’s last seven games went under 219 points, and the two games that went over finished with 220 points.

Miami’s Defense Shuts Down Pels Offense

Miami ranks 27th in the NBA in scoring offense and fourth in scoring defense, a perfect recipe for the under. The Heat held New Orleans below their ninth-best three-point percentage (37.7%) last matchup, holding them to 26.6% from three with just 96 total points.

New Orleans scored 96, 98, and 97 points against the Heat in their last three games, well below their average total points per game (112.9) and league average (115.5 points). All signs point towards the under for Friday night’s matchup.

Betting On Bam To Dominate

Heat center Bam Adebayo has -110 odds to go over 35.5 total points, rebounds, and assists on Friday night. The value at legal sports betting sites is there after Adebayo hit this number in three straight games.

Bam Adebayo Points, Rebounds And Assists (PRA) Prop

Over 35.5 PRA -110
Under 35.5 PRA -120

Adebayo averages 20.2 points per game on the season but averages 24.3 points per game in his last three games against the Pelicans. He’s too good on the glass to bet just his points prop, as Adebayo averages 10.6 rebounds per game this season.

Not to mention, Adebayo had 6.3 assists per game across his last three, making his total points, rebounds, and assists prop a slam dunk for the over.
