Desmond Bane (Memphis Grizzlies) Under 22.5 Points (-132)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As we look ahead to the matchup between the Miami Heat and the Orlando Magic, targeting Desmond Bane for under 22.5 points feels like a savvy move. Bane has been averaging just 18.2 points over his last five games, and while he's shown flashes, his numbers against the Magic are less than stellar, sitting at just 16 points in their recent encounters. The Heat's defense is particularly stingy at home, allowing a mere 11 points to opposing shooting guards in their last eight games. With Bane's expected stat value at around 20.01, it's clear that hitting the over will be a challenge, especially as the Heat look to clamp down on his scoring opportunities. Plus, his hit rate suggests he's fallen short in three of his last four outings. This all adds up to a compelling case for taking the under on Bane's points in this contest.
