After four less-than-exciting matchups, we’ve got another four games on the NBA slate today.
I’ve added two same-game parlays for tonight with our new tool, the Same Game Parlay Builder. You can find instant insight with recommendations and grades for a particular leg in the parlay!
Sunday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

New York Knicks @ Philadelphia 76ers
- Leg 1: Kelly Oubre Under 10.5 Points (-102)
- Leg 2: Joel Embiid Over 33.5 Points (-128)
- Leg 3: Kyle Lowry Over 7.5 Points (+108)
It’s more likely we’ll get an exciting, tight game to start off the Sunday slate. Joel Embiid scored 50 points in Philadelphia’s first home game in Game 3. Although he took just 19 shots, he went 13-for-19 from the field and tallied 19 foul shots on 21 attempts. While the foul shots might shorten a bit in this matchup, the attempts won’t. After all, Embiid and Maxey added 75 of the 125 points for the 76ers in the win. Embiid will need to be involved a whole lot for the 76ers. So I’ll grab that 33.5-point total and ride the Over.
However, as I suggested earlier, Embiid and Maxey aren’t getting much help offensively. Kelly Oubre Jr. went 6-for-8 from the field and nailed 2-for-4 from three in Game 3. But he still scored only 15 points after shooting very effectively from the field. What are the chances he shoots 75% in consecutive games? I’d back the Under 10.5 for Oubre here.
Finally, Kyle Lowry has scored at least eight points in every game against the Knicks in the series. He’s also averaged 11.7 points per game while making five three-pointers a night. If he can knock down two and find the foul line once, he’ll get those eight points.

Milwaukee Bucks @ Indiana Pacers
- Leg 1: Khris Middleton Over 6.5 Rebounds (+135)
- Leg 2: Pascal Siakam Over 9.5 Rebounds (+188)
- Leg 3: Aaron Nesmith Under 2.5 Assists (-185)
We’ve got to target Khris Middleton heading into Game 4. Giannis Antetokoumpo is doubtful, and Damian Lillard’s status is in jeopardy. So even if Lillard does play, this is Middleton’s to shine.
That said, in Game 3, Middleton scored 42 points and contributed ten rebounds with five assists. This was the second game where Middleton added at least ten rebounds against the Pacers in the playoffs. In the first game, Lillard was still healthy.
On the other hand, the Bucks have no depth. Milwaukee’s bench scored six points in Game 3. Therefore, there will be plenty of missed shots and opportunities on the glass going the other way, too. Pascal Siakam should benefit. In three games, Siakam has led the Pacers. He’s added 30 points per game with 11 rebounds and four assists. We’ll need just ten rebounds out of Siakam in this one.
Although Aaron Nesmith has added at least three assists in every game in this series, he only added 1.5 assists per game this season. Against the Bucks in the regular season, Nesmith averaged less than one assist per game. I will take a plus-money play on Nesmith heading into Game 4.
