Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlays
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
New York Knicks at Detroit Pistons
- Leg 1: Cade Cunningham Over 28.5 Points (-112)
- Leg 2: Karl-Anthony Towns Over 22.2 Points (-102)
- Leg 3: Jalen Brunson Under 3.5 Rebounds (-192)
Cade Cunningham has added at least 33 points in four of his last five games. He’s also coming off a 33-point performance against the Knicks in Game 2 and will be playing at home in Game 3. Ultimately, Cunningham has earned at least 29 points in six of his last eight games against the Knicks. It makes sense, especially this year, because the Knicks rank 28th in points allowed to point guards this season.
On the other hand, Karl-Anthony Towns finished with just 10 points in Game 2 against the Pistons. He didn’t even score in the second half. Therefore, his total is down to 22.5 points. I’ll take it.
Towns has added at least 23 points in 61% of games this season. He’s also hit this line in five of his last seven games, including 23+ points in back-to-back games against the Pistons prior to Game 2. The Knicks have to adjust and get Towns more involved in the second half, and they will.
Finally, don’t expect Jalen Brunson to dominate the glass. He’s added at least four rebounds in zero of his last six games. Brunson has earned just five rebounds in more than 84 minutes against the Pistons in the playoffs. To make matters worse, the Pistons rank third in the NBA in rebounds allowed to point guards this season.
Parlay Odds: +400
Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Clippers
- Leg 1: Christian Braun Under 11.5 Points (-118)
- Leg 2: Derrick Jones Jr. Under 2.5 Rebounds (-114)
- Leg 3: James Harden Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (-152)
Christian Braun has scored no more than 11 points in each of his first two playoff games against the Clippers. He’s also added no more than 11 points in three consecutive games. Beyond that, Braun has struggled against the Clippers throughout his career, averaging just 6.9 points per game against them in 13 matchups. Ultimately, he’s added at least 12 points in just one career game against the Clippers.
Meanwhile, Derrick Jones Jr. of the Clippers added just two rebounds against the Nuggets in 19.2 minutes in Game 2. He’s facing a Clippers team ranked first in the NBA in rebounds allowed to small forwards. The Clippers have held Jones Jr. to no more than two rebounds in six of his last nine games.
Lastly, James Harden has drilled four three-pointers in back-to-back games against the Nuggets. He’s also added at least five three in four of his last five games. Harden has also shot 44.2% from downtown over his last five games. He’s on fire, and the Nuggets can’t stop him. Denver even ranks 25th in three-pointers made to point guards this year. Harden has exploited the mismatch and should continue to do so for the entire series.
