NBA Same Game Parlay: Mavericks vs. Thunder
Here are our top NBA same game parlay picks for tonight’s slate of playoff action: Mavericks vs. Thunder.
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Mavericks vs. Thunder
- Leg 1: Isaiah Joe Under 5.5 Points (-104)
- Leg 2: Daniel Gafford Over 9.5 Points (-145)
- Leg 3: Josh Giddey Over 8.5 Points (-132)
Isaiah Joe has only seen more than 15 minutes in one of Oklahoma City’s first five games. He’s also attempted no more than five field goals in any game. Joe is ultimately a three-point threat and nothing else. He went 2-for-3 from deep against the Mavericks in Game 1 and went over that 5.5-point total. But he’s not going to shoot 66.7% from downtown every game. In fact, against the Pelicans, Joe shot only 35.7% from downtown.
On the other hand, Josh Giddey scored at least 13 points for the Pelicans in three consecutive games before heading to Dallas. Against Dallas, he added only two points on 1-for-4 from the field in 17 minutes. Giddey figures to rebound from that performance. He was absolutely money from three-point range during the final games of that Pelicans series.
Finally, Daniel Gafford is a complete mismatch for Oklahoma City. He averaged nearly 16 points per game against the Thunder in the regular season and scored 16 points against the Thunder in Game 1. He went 5-for-12 from the field but was aggressive enough to consistently get to the foul line. He also grabbed 11 rebounds and added five blocks. So he’ll get his minutes if he continues to produce like that.
