Bam Adebayo has collected seven rebounds in three of Miami’s first four games, even as the Heat have opened 0-4. If you’re backing their first win in Atlanta, his work on the glass offers a steadier starting point than expecting an immediate scoring revival.
These Side & Support picks also leave room for Atlanta players to contribute in a loss. CJ McCollum’s combined production and Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s threes give you two opposing-player routes to compare with Adebayo’s rebounds. The Miami-win records necessarily come from last season; this year’s four losses show how they’ve actually played in the current lineup.

Records cover each player’s appearances with his current team from the start of the 2025–26 season through completed games before this matchup, including postseason games. Each row’s win/loss record and all-game comparison use the same history. DraftKings prices were observed on October 28 and can change.
Bam Adebayo: 7+ rebounds
Adebayo reached seven rebounds in 32 of his 37 Miami wins in the window, compared with 68 of 78 appearances overall. The similar rates tell you what the case is: a rebounding milestone that has often remained attainable around a Heat win, rather than a large jump tied to the result.
His four games this season brought seven, six, eight and eight rebounds. He has reached seven in eight of his last ten appearances, with the other recent miss a three-rebound game in 11 minutes last April. His five misses in wins were five or six rebounds in games lasting 27–30 minutes, so a regular workload hasn’t always been enough.
At DraftKings’ -307, a $100 stake pays about $32.57 profit. He’s projected for 33 minutes and shares the current frontcourt with Giannis Antetokounmpo. That makes this season’s actual rebounding more relevant than simply importing last season’s winning record unchanged.
CJ McCollum: 20+ points, rebounds and assists
McCollum’s last two games, both Atlanta losses, produced exactly 20 and then 24 combined points, rebounds and assists. The first total came from 17 points, two rebounds and one assist; the second from 20 points, one rebound and three assists. This milestone lets several parts of his game contribute.
He reached 20 combined in 17 of his 20 Hawks losses in the window, against 41 of 51 Atlanta appearances overall. His current-season totals are 24, 16, 20 and 24. He has cleared the milestone in seven of his last ten appearances; two of the misses were playoff losses with totals of ten and 14, despite 32 and 24 minutes.
DraftKings offers -243, about $41.15 profit on $100—the largest individual payout of these three options. McCollum is projected for 29 minutes after playing 30 in each of the last two games. His points and Alexander-Walker’s threes share Atlanta’s scoring opportunities, so choosing both would add related exposure rather than two independent chances.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker: 2+ made threes
Alexander-Walker has made five, two, four and two threes to start the season. Both Atlanta losses included at least two, matching a wider record of 34 of 41 Hawks losses and 75 of 88 appearances overall.
That all-game rate is slightly higher than the losing-game rate, which suits the angle: his shooting can remain productive while Miami gets the result you’re backing. He has reached two in nine of his last ten appearances. The miss was a one-three playoff game in 29 minutes, and seven Atlanta losses across the full window finished below this mark.
At -467, a $100 stake pays about $21.41 profit. It’s the shortest return in this group, so the recent shooting run has to be weighed against the price. The current projection is 31 minutes, close to his 27–32-minute range this season.
Compare the routes to a Miami win
Adebayo’s rebounds keep the focus on Miami’s available contribution. McCollum’s combined line offers more payout, while Alexander-Walker’s two threes follows his most consistent recent run at a shorter price. You can use one route or compare a combination; these are options rather than a required three-leg parlay. Separate historical rates don’t establish a joint chance or the sportsbook’s price for related selections.
