Welcome to a solid six-game NBA slate where I’ll provide my favorite same-game parlays for your liking. It’s been a successful season so far, and I’d love to keep it going. Hopefully, you had ‘successfully betting NBA player props’ as one of your New Year’s resolutions, and we can get a jump start. Here are my favorite plays for today. Remember to shop around for the best odds and that most of these are long-term value plays.

Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

All odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

Chicago Bulls at Charlotte Hornets

Starting off with a bang, I’m expecting the Bulls to thrive tonight in Charlotte.

Facing off against the 27th-ranked defense is a good way to tally up assists and points. I’m picking LaVine and DeRozan for a semi-correlated play with some incredible value. With two Charlotte players currently questionable, their defense might have more holes than Swiss cheese.

In a mini pace-up spot against such a spotty defense, I am shocked at how valuable these odds are. LaVine’s rebounds and assists averages have been at or above what the props project for him tonight. In a plus matchup at plus odds, I’m all over that, betting a single unit on this same-game parlay.

Parlay Odds: +700

New York Knicks at Boston Celtics

If you have read any of my previous articles, you know how much I love Jaylen Brown, who has been a big money-maker for me this season.

As an eight-point favorite, I expect a lot of the scoring and production to come from Brown. New York’s defense is okay, but I imagine Boston’s top-tier offense will be too much to handle. Coming off the injury report, Brown’s props are simply too low, with his rebounds and points being my two favorite options.

With Brunson, I’m simply trusting the projections. The BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet gives him going over 5.5 assists an expected value of +27 percent, one of the better plays on the slate. At plus odds, I’m adding that into this same game parlay that I’ll be putting a single unit on.

Parlay Odds: +634

Dallas Mavericks at Phoenix Suns

As much as I love betting overs, you have to ground yourself with some under plays here and there, and this is the perfect game for just that, with both teams ranking in the bottom half of the league in pace of play.

It may seem odd to bet opposite ends of Hardaway Jr. and Dinwiddie rebounding, but I am more so playing the value game here. Hardaway going under is close to a lock, as the books see it setting the odds at -154, with Dinwiddie going over 3.5 sitting at solid value with +122. It’s an odd combination, but I’m sticking to it.

Bridges has been vastly overperforming of late, averaging 22.8 points per game in the last two weeks while failing to eclipse 17 this season. He is due for some major regression, and in a slow game like this, I think it’s the perfect opportunity for just that. Again, I’ll be betting one unit on this SGP.

Parlay Odds: +570
