NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Thursday (Celtics vs. Heat)

by |

Survive and advance, right? The Celtics hope to keep their playoffs alive as they return to Boston down 3-1 while Miami is one win away from taking on Denver for the NBA Championship. With there being only one game, I will provide a pair of parlays for your liking. Remember to shop around for the best odds as they continue to change. I will be placing one unit on each prop.

Last Time: 0-2
Season: 14-61(+4.3% ROI)

Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

Parlay One:

To keep this simple, I can’t imagine the Celtics blowing out the Heat again after losing the first three. Jayson Tatum had his moment in the sun with a 33-point outing but I expect him to return to his 14-point effort self. 

The Heat will keep this close, and in doing so, not only will Tatum have to avoid going off but someone from the Heat will step up. Who could that be other than Bam Adeabyo? Okay yes, it could be Jimmy Butler but I still see his props inflated and the BettingPros projections do as well.

Adebayo has averaged just shy of 20 points all year and he’s gotten 18-plus in five of his last seven games. This is a simple parlay that I feel comfortable betting on with what should be a very entertaining game.

Parlay Odds: +475

Parlay Two:

Sometimes it’s just simple enough to trust the numbers. Brogdon is projected at 13.8 points from the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet so taking his 10-plus point prop is one of the best bets tonight.

Caleb Martin has been on a tear of late but without the rebounding. He averaged five during the year and I expect the defense to not only step up but for Martin’s minutes and opportunity to continue rising.

Love is also due to get back to his scoring ways after staying in the shadows this series. It’s the riskiest part of this parlay but if that one hits then I feel quite good about the other two props following suit.

Parlay Odds: +675
