Saturday’s Best NBA Playoffs Same Game Parlay Picks
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Boston Celtics at New York Knicks
- Leg 1: Derrick White Over 16.5 Points (-112)
- Leg 2: Al Horford Under 6.5 Rebounds (-138)
- Leg 3: Mikal Bridges Over 1.5 Threes (-110)
Derrick White has scored at least 19 points in both games against the Knicks in the second round of the playoffs. He’s played 40+ minutes in each game and has shot no better than 35% in either of the first two games. His usage isn’t super high, but White has still attempted 27 three-pointers in his first two games. He’s only hit eight of them, but that volume excites me. After all, he’s shot much better from three-point range throughout the season. For example, he hit at least 43% from three in three of his last ten games.
Meanwhile, Al Horford has earned at least seven rebounds in two of his last five games. However, he only finished with four against the Knicks in Game 2. Horford got the start over Kristaps Porzingis, but it’s unclear if that’ll continue in Game 3. Either way, Horford has had at least 13 rebound chances in both games against the Knicks, but has only grabbed 11 of those 27 rebound chances. That’s a poor rate, plus, the Knicks have limited centers to the lowest rebound rate in the NBA.
Finally, I know Mikal Bridges has been hot and cold, but he’s found a way to produce, even if it’s late in the game. Bridges has recorded at least two threes in six of his last seven games. He’s also drilled two threes in each of these first two games. After all, the Celtics rank 11th in three-point percentage among small forwards and rank 19th in three-point attempts. Bridges should get his chances and has been consistent enough to be trusted.

Golden State Warriors at Minnesota Timberwolves
- Leg 1: Julius Randle Over 5.5 Assists (+108)
- Leg 2: Donte DiVincenzo Over 3.5 Assists (+110)
- Leg 3: Jonathan Kuminga Over 0.5 Threes (-215)
Julius Randle finished with 11 assists in Game 2 of this series against the Warriors. In fact, he’s added 17 assists in his last two games combined against the Dubs. For one, the Warriors rank 17th in assists allowed to power forwards. Secondly, Randle has had 25 potential assists in his first two games of this series. Furthermore, he’s added at least 10 potential assists in five of his last six games in the playoffs and is playing about 35 minutes per game.
Meanwhile, Donte DiVincenzo has recorded at least four assists in each of his last three games, including the first two against the Warriors. The Warriors rank only 12th in assists allowed to shooting guards, and DiVincenzo is taking advantage. He’s earned at least four assists in seven of his last ten games. He’s also hit this line in six of his last ten games against the Warriors.
Lastly, the Warriors are finally giving Jonathan Kuminga some minutes. He’s nailed at least one three-pointer in both games against the Timberwolves. Ultimately, the Timberwolves rank 18th in three-pointers made to power forwards this season. Kuminga played 26.4 minutes in Game 2 and took three three-pointers. If that happens again, he’ll likely knock at least one down.
