Saturday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

Let’s dive into our top two NBA same game parlay picks for Saturday’s playoff action.

(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Denver Nuggets

Leg 1: Jaden McDaniels Under 3.5 Rebounds (-120)
Leg 2: Aaron Gordon Under 6.5 Rebounds (+110)
Leg 3: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 1.5 Threes (-138)

In Minnesota’s two road games against the Suns, Jaden McDaniels added no more than four rebounds. He ultimately grabbed just three rebounds in 34 minutes in Game 4 of that first-round series against the Suns. He averaged about a rebound per a little over 11 minutes in that game.

While Minnesota dominated the glass against the Suns, the Nuggets are typically great on the defensive end. For example, the Lakers added no more than 23.4% of offensive rebounds in any of their games against the Nuggets. With more scoring and fewer opportunities, McDaniels to go Under on his rebounds prop looks like good value.

Meanwhile, Aaron Gordon might’ve accumulated 13 rebounds in his final game against the Lakers. But the rebounding will likely be a little more, even against Minnesota. The Timberwolves are very active and aggressive on the offensive end, leaving Gordon fewer opportunities to grab rebounds. Look for some regression from Gordon on the glass in this series.

Finally, Karl-Anthony Towns closed out the final two games against the Suns with seven threes on 11 attempts. He even finished the first round of the playoffs, shooting 52.9% from downtown. The volume should be there to start this series. We’re only asking for two threes!

Parlay Odds:+473

Minnesota Timberwolves @ Denver Nuggets

Leg 1: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 18.5 Points (-106)
Leg 2: Naz Reid Over 8.5 Points (-128)
Leg 3: Aaron Gordon Over 3.5 Assists (-162)

Karl-Anthony Towns only played the Nuggets once in the regular season. In that game, he added 21 points on just 36.8% from the field in 31 minutes. However, Towns typically above 50% from the field and averaged nearly 22 points per game this season.

Towns was efficient in the first-round series matchup, adding 19.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. However, his most recent game was his best, where he scored 28 points and grabbed ten rebounds to close out the Suns. Look for him to take that momentum into Game 1 of this series.

Meanwhile, Naz Reid really developed into an elite player off the bench. Reid contributed 9.5 points per game in only 18.5 minutes a night for the Timberwolves in the first-round series. He’ll take threes, find ways to get to the foul line, and take his fair share of shots. He averaged 7.3 shots per game against the Suns in the earlier round. He also scored 13.5 points per game in the regular season on nearly 48% from the field.

Although I’m not high on Gordon grabbing rebounds, I like Gordon to rack up assists. He averaged 4.3 assists per game against Minnesota in the regular season and contributed 4.6 assists per game against the Lakers in the first-round matchup.

Parlay Odds:+426
