The No. 8 seed Miami Heat aren't getting much downtime. Fresh off a thrilling play-in tournament victory on Friday, the Heat have had to hit the road for today's tilt with the No. 1 seed Cleveland Cavaliers. Tipoff from Rocket Arena in Cleveland is at 7 p.m. ET (TNT).
The Cavs are 11.5-point betting favorites to put an end to the Heat's parade. That might make for an interesting game, as Miami has nothing to lose.

π₯ Andrew Wiggins Over 5.5 rebounds ββββ
Despite their two-big lineup, the Cavs rank 22nd in defensive rebounding rate and have had the fifth-biggest drop from last season. This comes after they were dominated on the glass in the previous two postseason appearances.
Wiggins is taking advantage of his athleticism of late, grabbing 17 rebounds in the two play-in victories. I like the plus-money odds on Wiggins to collect six boards today and would also start any SGP with him finishing with five-plus rebounds.

π₯ Darius Garland Over 17.5 points βββ
Iβm interested in all Garland props this postseason. The Cavs need him to make a deep playoff run, especially in this matchup when Miami uses zone more than any other team.
Garlandβs ability to create in the half-court and shoot from long range makes him capable of beating a zone. He averaged 20.6 points per game in the regular season, so this line feels disrespectful to his talent.

π₯ Bam Adebayo Over 0.5 blocks ββ
One must bet the -130 price on Adebayo to record one block after he swatted five shots in Fridayβs play-in victory over the Atlanta Hawks. Adebayo now has nine blocks in his past eight games.
The Cavaliers are an elite offense, applying pressure on teams at the rim and beyond the arc. Adebayo, who has averaged 0.9 blocks per game in his career, will be instrumental in Miamiβs chances of making this game competitive.
