NBA Playoffs Same Game Parlay Odds & Picks: Tuesday (4/29)
As we continue through the first round of the 2024-2025 NBA playoffs, we will be breaking down two games across The Association this evening.
Without any further preamble, let's dive right into our same-game parlay (SGP) picks and predictions for these contests.
Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers
- Leg 1: Indiana Pacers Moneyline (-340)
- Leg 2: Indiana Pacers Alt Team Total Over 109.5 Points (-253)
- Leg 3: Pascal Siakam 20+ Points (-155)
- Leg 4: Pascal Siakam Over 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-115)
- Leg 5: Kevin Porter Jr. 5+ Assists (-360)
With Milwaukee losing Damian Lillard for the remainder of the season, that unfortunately may just be the proverbial death nail for the Bucks. Indiana has taken control of the series with a 3-1 advantage. They now have an opportunity to close out the first round with a win at home. The Pacers are 8-2 over the last 10 games when hosting their opponent, including wins in seven of their last eight games.
Indiana has won four out of the last six matchups against Milwaukee, picking up victories in three consecutive games at home. The Bucks are 2-8 in the last 10 games when playing at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
The Pacers continue to score in bunches at home, so moving the total down to 109.5 seems like a logical play despite the heavy juice. Indiana has scored at least 110 points in nine out of their previous 10 home games, averaging over 118 points per game during that span. The Pacers are scoring an average of 123.8 points in their last 10 games when playing at home against Milwaukee.
Pascal Siakam has been an absolute force this series, and we expect the good fortunes to continue once again this evening. The Pacers forward is averaging over 20 points in his last 10 games against the Bucks. When playing Milwaukee at home, Siakam is averaging 22.6 points on 57.3% shooting. The veteran forward has scored at least 20 points in five out of the last seven games.
Siakam has successfully knocked down at least two three-pointers in the last six matchups against Milwaukee. He has made at least two three-pointers in four of his previous five games. The Indiana forward is shooting 50% on 16 attempts from beyond the arc in the first four games of this series.
Siakam is connecting on 40% or better from deep in three out of the four playoff games. The veteran big man for the Pacers has attempted at least four shots from beyond the perimeter in five of the last eight contests.
Kevin Porter Jr. has dished out an average of at least five assists in the first four games of this series. He has recorded at least five assists in six out of the previous 10 games. The Milwaukee guard is averaging 5.4 assists over the last 10 games, and 4.8 when on the road.
Without Lillard, it seems highly probable Porter will get a few more minutes on the floor, ultimately improving his opportunity to finish with five or more assists.
Parlay Odds: +325
Detroit Pistons at New York Knicks
- Leg 1: Jalen Brunson Over 29.5 Points (-125)
- Leg 2: Tobias Harris Under 1.5 Three-Pointers Made (-175)
- Leg 3: Tim Hardaway Jr. Under 2.5 Rebounds (-135)
- Leg 4: Dennis Schroder Under 3.5 Assists (-110)
Jalen Brunson has scored at least 30 points in all four previous contests in this series. The New York guard is averaging 33.3 points on 46% shooting from the field. He is also averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game in the first round of the playoffs.
Brunson has faced the Pistons on eight occasions this season and has finished with 30 points in all but one of those contests. The Knicks’ top scoring option has scored 30+ points in six consecutive games against Detroit as favorites.
It has been a rough couple of games for Tobias Harris on the offensive end of the floor, and that is putting it lightly. The New York native has made just one three-pointer in his last six attempts, and did not even attempt a shot from beyond the arc in the second half on Sunday.
Harris has connected on two or more three-pointers in four of the last six games, and is only averaging 0.7 made threes on 2.8 attempts when playing on the road over the previous 10 contests. The Detroit forward has only made two shots or more from deep in two out of the eight games played against the Knicks this season.
Kyle Kuzma’s rebounding prop is unavailable for parlays, so we have to pivot to another option. Tim Hardaway Jr. has not pulled down more than 2.5 rebounds in the first four games of the series, and is averaging 2.3 boards in the previous eight contests against New York.
Hardaway is averaging 1.8 rebounds over the last 10 games and has not cleared the 2.5 threshold in six straight contests. The odds could certainly be more favorable, yet we feel this is a solid piece to this parlay.
Dennis Schroder is yet to record four assists or more in this series, and has not finished with at least four dimes in the last five games against the Knicks. The Detroit guard has surpassed 3.5 assists once in the last eight contests.
While Schroder is still seeing a decent amount of playing time in the series, the veteran guard has reached 30 minutes in only one game out of the previous six. New York is tied for the second-fewest amount of assists allowed per game in the playoffs.
Parlay Odds: +800
