Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets for Thursday

Oklahoma Thunder vs. Philadelphia 76ers

  • Leg 1: James Harden UNDER 6.5 rebounds (-130)
  • Leg 2: Josh Giddey OVER 5.5 assists (+100)
  • Leg 3: 76ers OVER 121.5 (+105) 

In a big pace-up spot for the 76ers, I expect them to have a lot of possessions. This will result in many points, with Philadelphia repping the seventh-ranked offense in the league. I can’t imagine Kenrich Williams will be able to handle Embiid down low.

Because of that, I don’t see Harden snagging many rebounds. They will score at a high rate, and Embiid should swallow up most of the boards for Philly. On the other hand, Giddey has been facilitating at a high rate, sustaining 5.7 assists per game over the last two months. With those odds, I like the value available as well. 

Parlay Odds: +625

Charlotte Hornets at Toronto Raptors

  • Leg 1: P.J. Washington OVER 4.5 rebounds (+100)
  • Leg 2: Scottie Barnes OVER 14.5 points (-115)
  • Leg 3: Mason Plumlee OVER 2.5 assists (-135)

Going against a lower-half rebounding team in the NBA, Washington should be able to take on O.G. Anunoby and Co. in the paint to bring in five or more boards.

Barnes has been scoring at a clip of 15.1 points per game over the last two months. Charlotte’s defense ranks 25th, and Barnes should not have a problem continuing to do what he’s doing, just this time against Charlotte. 

Mason Plumlee going over his assists total is one of the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet’s best plays, with a 75 percent chance of hitting and a +30 percent expected value.

Parlay Odds: +551

Dallas Mavericks at Los Angeles Lakers

  • Leg 1: Spencer Dinwiddie OVER 15.5 points (-120) 
  • Leg 2: Luka Doncic OVER 8.5 assists (-125)
  • Leg 3: Lebron James UNDER 32.5 points (-125)

This isn’t the most exciting same-game parlay, but it still is the positive expected value in my mind. The Lakers are the second-fastest team in the NBA, facing the second-slowest team in the league. James won’t have as many opportunities to score, and his point total is usually inflated.

Dallas, on the other hand, is in one of the most prominent pace-up spots possible. While betting the Doncic overscoring is always fun, his assist totals are where the real value is. Dinwiddie has been solid of late, and I like his points total being under 16.   

Parlay Odds: +494
