We’ve got a standalone Eastern Conference Finals matchup tonight.
The Celtics stunned the Pacers in Game 1 with a wild finish that went into overtime. Was that Indiana’s one chance? Here are a couple of same-game parlays to consider for tonight’s Game 2 of the ECF between the Celtics and Pacers.

Pacers vs. Celtics NBA Same Game Parlay
- Leg 1: Pascal Siakam Under 7.5 Rebounds (+108)
- Leg 2: Jrue Holiday Over 5.5 Rebounds (-106)
- Leg 3: Jaylen Brown Over 6.5 Rebounds (-128)
Pascal Siakam only averaged 7.1 rebounds per game this season. In the previous series against the Knicks, he finished with 6.4 rebounds per game. But after 12 rebounds in Game 1, his line is back to 7.5. The Celtics are literally the best defensive-rebounding team in the NBA. They’ve held opponents to 19.3% of offensive rebounds per game. In addition, Boston has added 27.4% of offensive rebounds, while the Pacers have given up more than 30% of offensive rebounds.
The Celtics will ultimately win the glass in more games this series. That will hurt Siakam down the line.
Meanwhile, Jrue Holiday just put together his best stat line of the playoffs in Game 1 against the Pacers. Holiday scored 28 points but also added seven rebounds and eight assists. Holiday is capable of adding triple-doubles. He just took the backseat to Tatum, Brown, White, and Porzingis (when healthy). That said, Holiday has contributed at least six rebounds in four of his last six games and has added at least seven rebounds in three of his last four.
On the other hand, Jaylen Brown is also a major rebounding threat. He’s totaled at least seven rebounds in three of his last four games and finished Game 1 with seven rebounds against the Pacers.
This same-game parlay is strictly based on the Celtics’ advantage on the glass in this series.
NBA Same Game Parlay Odds: +555
Pacers vs. Celtics NBA Same Game Parlay
- Leg 1: Derrick White Under 2.5 Threes (+130)
- Leg 2: Jayson Tatum Under 2.5 Threes (+112)
- Leg 3: Derrick White Over 4.5 Rebounds (+108)
This probably isn’t the most fun same-game parlay to tail. But I’m looking to make a profit!
In Game 1 of the series, Derrick White nailed 3-of-8 from deep, shooting just 37.5% from downtown. Typically, after games with three or more three-pointers, he struggles in the next game. Check back to the game against Cleveland. White nailed seven threes in Game 1 and then went 1-for-8 from three in Game 2.
In Game 3, he shot 3-for-8 from downtown but went just 1-for-4 in Game 4. If that trend continues, it’ll be a bad shooting night for White in Game 2 in the ECF.
However, White has consistently earned at least five rebounds in the playoffs. He’s hit this line in three consecutive games, including against the Pacers, where he brought down six.
On the other hand, Jayson Tatum has been inconsistent and not very good from the field in the playoffs. He only nailed two threes in eight attempts in Game 1. He’s also hit two or fewer threes in five of his last six games. At plus money, I’ll gladly add that prop to the parlay.
NBA Same Game Parlay Odds: +848
