by |

Welcome to a solid eight-game NBA slate where I’ll provide my favorite same-game parlays for your liking. There are a lot of questionable tags for tonight, so be mindful of the value offered when lineup news drops. It’s been a successful season, 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 tonight’s games.

NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Wednesday (1/11)

Houston Rockets at Sacramento Kings

  • Leg 1: Keegan Murray OVER 11.5 points (-125)
  • Leg 2: Harrison Barnes OVER 1.5 assists (-130)
  • Leg 3: Sacramento OVER 125.5 (+115) 

One of the few games without basically any injury concerns. There should be fireworks as the 27th-ranked defense takes on the 28th-ranked defense in a matchup where both teams rank in the league’s top half in the pace of play.

Keegan Murray has averaged 13 points per game and has steadily improved during his rookie season. In a pace-up spot against a sub-par defense, I am surprised his point total isn’t higher. While the books agree with thinking the over will hit with the odds at -125, there is still value here.

I expect Sacramento to thrive tonight. And in doing so, Harrison Barnes should have no problem finding himself a pair of assists in over 30 minutes of expected play. Hopefully, fireworks will reign tonight.

Parlay Odds: +585

New Orleans Pelicans at Boston Celtics

  • Leg 1: CJ McCollum UNDER 25.5 points (-120)
  • Leg 2: Jayson Tatum OVER 7.5 rebounds (-130)
  • Leg 3: Jaylen Brown OVER 27.5 points (-130) 

In an up-and-down season, McCollum has averaged 27 points per game over the last two weeks while averaging just shy of 21 points per game on the season. He’s riding a hot wave, but it will come down. Against Boston seems to be the right time for a heat check. His point total is too inflated right now.

Tatum and Brown will hopefully continue being the money-makers they have been for me this season. Tatum’s rebound prop is one of the slate’s better values, with the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet giving it a 63 percent chance of hitting and a +15 percent expected value. And how can you not but Brown over-point total?

Parlay Odds: +474

Milwaukee Bucks at Atlanta Hawks

  • Leg 1: Giannis Antetokounmpo OVER 5.5 assists (+125)
  • Leg 2: Trae Young 2.5 rebounds (-135) 
  • Leg 3: Brook Lopez UNDER 6.5 rebounds (-110)

While everyone loves the prolific scoring from Giannis, they forget about his ability to facilitate. He has consistently averaged 5.7 assists per game in the last two months. I expect that number to be higher in a pace-up spot, and with plus odds, it’s a solid play.

Milwaukee is the best rebounding team in the nation, and Atlanta ranks 25th in that category, but the books know this. They overdo the odds a lot of the time with this ready-known information out there. That’s why I’m fading Lopez on the glass and giving Trae Young the nod to get three boards tonight.

Parlay Odds: +648
