It’s a two-pack of playoff games in the Association. The Miami Heat are trying to avoid the sweep, while the Golden State Warriors are trying to hold court against the Houston Rockets.
We’ve run through the NBA player props available for both games and have put together a three-legged parlay for your betting consideration.

Today's best NBA Playoff parlay: April 28
Stephen Curry Under 27.5 points
Darius Garland Over 2.5 threes
Bam Adebayo Under 10.5 rebounds
Pick #1: Stephen Curry Under 27.5 points
Minus Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry turned in a stellar performance in Game 3 against the Houston Rockets, which led to a 104-93 Golden State Warriors win, and a 2-1 series lead.
Steph went for 36 points (his scoring high these playoffs), adding nine boards and seven assists.
I just don’t know if he can do it back-to-back against a Houston defense that has harassed him every minute he's on the floor.
Butler could be back, but will still likely be compromised, and taking back some of that offensive burden might not be an option, leaving Curry to have to go supernova in back-to-back games.
A younger Steph? No problem. The 37-year-old version? He’s going to need help.
Pick #2: Darius Garland Over 2.5 threes
Darius Garland had to sit out Game 3 with a toe injury, but it appears he’s ready to play in Game 4, as the Cleveland Cavaliers try to close out the Miami Heat.
Garland is shooting a crisp 41.2% from 3-point range in these playoffs, including a 5-for-9 performance in Game 1.
He’s got a reachable 2.5 make line in Miami for Game 4 and has hit at least three triples in six of 12 regular season games against the Heat, missing the Over by a single deep bucket in three others.
With a break in Game 3, Garland should be fresh and ready to make his mark from downtown.
Pick #3: Bam Adebayo Under 10.5 rebounds
We wrap with Heat big man Bam Adebayo, who is coming off a 22-point, nine-rebound effort in the Game 3 loss.
Bam has a rebound line of 10.5 for Monday, a number he’s come close to, but has only passed once in the series when he grabbed 14 boards in the second clash.
That was the only game that could be described as remotely competitive, with the Cavs winning by nine points.
Cleveland means business, beating the Heat by an average of 22.3 points through three games, including a 124-87 thumping in Game 3.
If this stays similar to script — and Miami does get swept away — Bam might already be watching from the sidelines in the fourth quarter, with nothing left to play for.
