Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Indiana Pacers at Chicago Bulls

Leg 1: Pascal Siakam Over 24.5 Points (-140)
Leg 2: Andre Drummond Over 15.5 Points (-130)
Leg 3: Andre Drummond Over 15.5 Rebounds (-130)

You already know the drill. It’s the Pacers, the team who cares more about your SGP’s than just about any other squad. They’re 28th in defensive net rating and second in pace, leaving plenty of room for scoring and stat padding whenever they play. Tonight’s game between the Bulls has a total of 241.5 and a spread of just two points separating the teams, so in theory, this one should go down to the wire.

It’s pretty much a necessity to take Tyrese Haliburton and his assist prop at this point. The guy is averaging 12.1 assists per game, the best mark in the NBA. He had 13 assists against Chicago back on October 30th and has 11 or more in 18-of-26 games this season.

Nikola Vucevic is out for the next 7-10 days, which essentially means it’s Andre Drummond’s time to shine in Chicago. Starting in Vuc’s stead, Drummond exploded for 24 points and 25 rebounds against Atlanta two days ago. A similar output wouldn’t be all that shocking in this one given the Pacers struggles inside the paint. They’re allowing the most points in the paint, and that’s the only region where Drummond is getting points. Considering the lack of depth Chicago has at center, Drummond is going to continue to see big minutes, and he played 38 the other night. He’s a rebounding machine and should have no trouble finding another massive night filling up the stat sheet.

Memphis Grizzlies at Denver Nuggets

Leg 1: Michael Porter Jr. Over 17.5 Points (-115)
Leg 2: Michael Porter Jr. Over 7.5 Rebounds (-120)
Leg 3: Nikola Jokic Over 8.5 Assists (-175)

Aaron Gordon is unavailable to play tonight, which sets a few Denver players to add to their stats in this game. Michael Porter Jr. will likely be one of the big benefactors without him around. In four games without him this season, MPJ has averaged 20.5 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. This is obviously a small sample, but it can’t be overlooked either. He has gone over this point prop and rebound prop in three of the four games.

As for Jokic, this line is simply far too low for what he typically does playing at home in Denver. Last season he averaged 11.1 assists per game at home compared to 8.5 on the road. While that number has decreased at home in the early going this year at 9.4 APG, Jokic has gone over this mark in 10 of 14 games in Denver. He had 10 and 13 assists in two matchups against Memphis last season.
