The performance that the Miami Heat displayed against the Atlanta Hawks in their first NBA Play-In Tournament game was perhaps not the most impressive. And that's putting things nicely.
Fortunately for the Heat, they get a chance at redemption as the Chicago Bulls come into town in a win or go home game. The winner will get the chance to play the Milwaukee Bucks in the No. 1 vs. No. 8 matchup in the East.
Jimmy Butler posted a 21-point, nine-assist and four-rebound game against the Hawks on Wednesday, and he'll be looking to carry Miami into the playoffs.
Read on to see where our projections see value in Butler's props on Friday evening.
