Today’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

New Orleans Pelicans at Dallas Mavericks 

To start the night I’m going with a correlated play where I see points on points being scored. Obviously, Zion Williamson is out for the Pelicans, which has brought this total line down too much. With their star being out, New Orleans will need someone to step up. In steps CJ McCollum.

Over the last two months, McCollum has consistently averaged 23.4 points per game. To get his prop at 21.5 points with plus money is a steal and a half, especially going up against a rough Dallas defense.

On the other side, Luka is coming off 41-point and 53-point outings and I am going to ride the hot streak while he continues playing at home. With a game that is expected to be close, I see him stepping up and taking over. It helps too that New Orleans offers a big pace-up spot for Dallas as well. This isn’t the craziest of props and I’ll be laying one unit on it.     

Parlay Odds: +475

Miami Heat at New York Knicks

If you’re feeling riskier with your same-game parlay action tonight. This one is for you.

Bam Adebayo’s rebound total is one of the best plays on the slate by the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet with a +33 percent expected value. I figured this prop would be at 10.5 instead, considering Miami’s stout defense, giving him plenty of opportunity to snag some boards, along with the fact that he’s averaged 10.7 rebounds a game in the past two months.

RJ Barrett’s assists going over is another part of this high-risk-high-reward play that I see as a solid value with the +125 odds. He isn’t the best facilitator in the league but considering he’s averaged 2.8 a game this season, I can see him finding three assists, despite a potentially low-scoring effort from the Knicks.

That low-scoring effort might come from Randle struggling against the top-three defense in efficiency. Caleb Martin is a solid defender and while this will be a close game, the over/under sitting at 213 makes me want to fade Randle tonight.     

Parlay Odds: +750

Charlotte Hornets at Chicago Bulls

Finally, I’m riding a Bulls bounce-back game after dropping three of their last four. Charlotte’s 26th-ranked defense will have trouble stopping the Bulls, and I think LaVine and Dosunmu offer the best value in my opinion.

Charlotte offers a pace-up spot for Chicago and Dosunmu has scored at least 10 points in two of his last three games. Both points’ total props should be higher considering the home positive matchup. 

Washington’s rebound prop is simply too low as well. He’s gone over five rebounds in each of his last two games and I don’t expect him to stop tonight. Life is too short to bet the under, right? 

Parlay Odds: +700
