Saturday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

Boston Celtics vs. Phoenix Suns

Leg 1: Jrue Holiday Over 11.5 Points (-108)
Leg 2: Jaylen Brown Over 3.5 Assists (+120)
Leg 3: Grayson Allen Under 14.5 Points (+100)

Jrue Holiday is the fifth option for the Celtics this season. Although his average of 12.8 points per game is a bit unusual for the veteran guard, he can still score like a premium player.

Holiday has added at least 12 points in 63% of games this season. He’s also nailed this line in 60% of his last 20 games and has earned 12 points in every game against the Suns since last season. In the previous two games, Holiday played 35+ minutes and scored 12 points in both games. Let’s make it three straight tonight against the Suns.

Hopefully, it’s Jaylen Brown dishing out the assists to Holiday. Brown has recently taken over for the Celtics, scoring 62 points in his last two games. But the defense will start adjusting, which could force Brown to pass the rock more. Brown has added at least four assists in more than 50% of games this season and has hit this line in two consecutive games. The Suns rank 23rd in the NBA in assists allowed to shooting guards.

Finally, we’ll roll with Grayson Allen to go Under 14.5 points. Allen has emerged with 26 and 28 points over the last two games. Many of you won’t agree with me on this one. But if Devin Booker returns, Allen won’t get the shots he was getting. He’s only hit this line in 32% of games this season. So, with a healthy Booker, Allen will take a back seat.

Parlay Odds: +590

San Antonio Spurs vs. Golden State Warriors

Leg 1: Jonathan Kuminga Under 21.5 Points (-118)
Leg 2: Tre Jones Under 6.5 Assists (-156)
Leg 3: Jeremy Sochan Over 7.5 Rebounds (-111)

The San Antonio Spurs will be without Victor Wembanyama for the second consecutive night. On the other hand, the Warriors won’t have Steph Curry due to a sprained ankle. Here’s what I’m thinking with these two stars out.

Tre Jones has averaged 5.9 assists per game this season but just added 12 against the Kings. Ultimately, since February, Jones has averaged under seven assists per game. Now he’ll go up against a Warriors team that ranks No. 1 in the NBA in assists allowed to point guards. This isn’t a great matchup for Jones, with or without Curry in the lineup.

Meanwhile, we’ve also got Jonathan Kuminga to go Under 21.5 points. He’s hit at least 22 points in just 20% of games this season. He’s even hit this line in just two of his last ten games. Earlier this season, he scored 12 points against the Spurs and didn’t get enough volume from the field. He’d need a lot of foul shots to get to 22 points.

Finally, we’re hoping Kuminga bricks some shots for Jeremy Sochan to grab some rebounds. We’re going Over 7.5 for Sochan/s rebounds. He’s consistently brought down eight or more rebounds in four straight games and should be in line against a Warriors team that ranks dead last in rebounds allowed to power forwards this season.

Parlay Odds: +412
