Madison Square Garden has at least one more basketball game in store before the floor is moved into storage for the summer and Spike Lee, Pete Davidson, and Tracy Morgan go back to their day jobs.

But with a little luck for the Knicks, that court will be back in use Sunday for a Mother’s Day Game 7. New York is one loss away from being the second NBA team eliminated by the 8th-seeded Miami Heat, and you can bet your bottom dollar that coach Tom Thibodeau will have his team ready.

But as Julius Randle stated: “Maybe they just want it more than we do.” Interesting thought, and only time will tell.

Best NBA Same Game Parlay Picks Today for Heat vs Knicks - NBA Playoffs Game 5: 4-Leg Parlay Picks (+7000)

Jimmy Butler

The best player on the Heat is reminding everyone why he is known as “Playoff Jimmy.” He is second in the NBA in scoring, averaging 33.5 points per game on 56.1 percent shooting, and is coming off a double-double of 27 points and 10 assists in Miami’s Game 4 victory Monday night that moved the series to 3-1 in favor of the Heat.

Butler has not had a single triple-double this season after having four last season and five in the “bubble season” of 2020-21. So, yeah, he is due, and we are not thinking the Knicks can prevent him from dominating the game unless they go back to starting Josh Hart ahead of Quentin Grimes, who did a little of everything – too little, perhaps – while playing 42 minutes on Monday.

Butler is on the Betway board at +2000 for a triple-double and +295 for a double-double, and as much as we want to tout the former we will go with the latter but counsel you to think about disregarding our advice and putting a triple–double in your parlay due to the fact that Butler is due. The guy did have seven offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter alone Monday night.

But for the purposes of this article, a double-double will suffice as Leg One of a parlay that will still pay off nicely if it hits.

Leg-1 SGP Pick: Jimmy Butler to double-double (+295)

Jalen Brunson

This guy was supposed to play second fiddle to Julius Randle as the Knicks’ go-to guy, but it has not quite worked out that way with Randle hampered by a bum ankle. Brunson had a 32-point, 11-assist double-double in Game 4 while playing 44 minutes, and we could see Thibodeau running him the full 48 in a do-or-die Game 5. Brunson has five double-doubles this postseason and regular season, and he will be featured like never before in Game 5, which is why we like him to post another.

Leg-2 SGP Pick: Jalen Brunson to double-double (+350).

Bam Adebayo

Miami’s center has three double-doubles and a triple double in nine postseason games thus far, and he has made mincemeat of New York’s Mitchell Robinson in this series, most recently with a double-double of 23 points and 13 rebounds Monday night.

Why shouldn’t he do it again? The guy is about 70 times more skilled and more intelligent than the Knicks’ Robinson, and Heat coach Erik Spoelstra has played him at least 36 minutes in all four games. Win or lose, Adebayo is going to be out there a ton because of how well he has done against Robinson, and another double-double is certainly attainable.

Leg-3 SGP Pick: Bam Adebayo to double-double (+135).

Spread Bet

The Knicks are favored by 3 ½ on the Betway board and 4 elsewhere, to which we say: Huh?

Yes, they will be the more desperate team, and yes, they have more to lose than Miami. But the Heat closed out the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round despite being a 13-point Game 5 underdog, and they were 2-1 in closeout games in last year’s playoffs, the exception being their Game 7 loss to Boston in the Eastern Conference finals.

All they have to do to make this one hit is keep it close, which they do every night anyway. Miami is 4-1 ATS this postseason as a road ‘dog, and even if they lose on a tiebreaking, buzzer-beating 3-pointer on Wednesday, that 3 ½ point line will make Heat +3 ½ a winner.

Leg-4 SGP Pick: Miami + 3 ½ (-105).

THE PAYOFF: We are advocating a four-way same game parlay with the above picks, which will pay at +7000. A wager of $100 would pay $7,100, which would easily cover the cost of a flight to Miami and a few cups of Butler’s Bigface coffee along with a seat to Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals against Philadelphia or Boston, whether that game takes place in Manhattan or on the shores of Biscayne Bay.

If you are feeling frisky, switch Butler’s double-double to a triple double and keep the same other three picks. That bumps the payoff to +50000, meaning a $100 bet will bring you back $50,000.
