Welcome to a solid seven-game NBA slate where I’ll provide my favorite prop Same Game Parlays for your liking. It’s been a successful season so far and I’d love to keep it going. Remember to shop around for the best odds for these props to get the best EV over the long term. These SGPs aren’t the most likely to hit, obviously, so remember to not blow your entire bankroll on one night, there is still plenty of basketball left in the season.

Today’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Picks

All odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

Portland Trail Blazers at Boston Celtics

If you can’t already tell, I think the Celtics are going to score a lot at home tonight against Portland. 

Portland’s 27th-ranked defense is one of the least intimidating units in the nation, so I honestly expected the Celtics’ point props to be way higher. Boston’s third-ranked offense has been running on all cylinders and with Jusuf Nurkic questionable, I like it even more.

Tatum did miss the last game with a left knee contusion but he is off the injury report as I write this. I believe that sportsbooks are conservative with his scoring total simply because of injury worry, but if he’s playing and off the injury report, I feel good about taking his over.

As a semi-correlated, favored play, I’m fading Damian Lillard on the glass tonight. As I expect the Celtics to be scoring at a high clip, and with the slower pace, Lillard won’t get many opportunities to bring in rebounds.

Parlay Odds: +522

Chicago Bulls at Denver Nuggets

It’s the season of the overs tonight in Denver as the Chicago Bulls come into town.

While the Nuggets should get credit for the season they’ve been having, their defense is a bit overrated by books as they rank 15th in defensive efficiency. Chicago’s stars in LaVine and DeRozan should be able to take over and shine tonight.

Jokic going over his total…do I really have to give a reason for betting that? The Nuggets have the second-best offense in the entire league and I can’t imagine Nikola Vucevic will have the easiest time defending the MVP favorite. The Bulls’ defense is middling and with the Joker averaging 24.4 points per game, I don’t get why this prop isn’t higher.

Parlay Odds: +600

Toronto Raptors at Los Angeles Clippers

For the value parlay of the day, I’m going with a fun mix-and-match Same Game Parlay for tonight’s Raptors-Clippers game.

Russ has averaged 6.0 rebounds a game this season. Obviously, with a different team, but the Clippers’ rebound rate is not that high at 16th in the nation. It’s not as if he is coming into a place where there are prolific rebounders. Westbrook is due for some positive regression in the rebounding department.

With Siakam earning a block, I love the value. Siakam has earned a block in two of his last three games. Yes, that is a small sample size but given the +140 odds, I will gladly take that. 

Scottie Barnes going over his points and assist total is simply me trusting the projections with the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet giving this a 68 percent chance of hitting, a five-star bet, certified fresh.

Parlay Odds: +711
