NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Kings vs. Magic
Sacramento Kings vs. Orlando Magic
- Leg 1: Wendell Carter Under 16.5 Points (-125)
- Leg 2: Franz Wagner Over 3.5 Assists (-130)
- Leg 3: Franz Wagner Under 1.5 Threes (-164)
The Orlando Magic just defeated the Golden State Warriors 130-129. Orlando is now 2-7 to begin the year. But they’ve got another winnable game on the schedule with a home game against the Sacramento Kings.
However, I’m looking to exploit a couple of mismatches.
Wendell Carter is averaging 15.9 points per game this season. His average is so high because he scored 30 points in one game. In that game, he took his highest shot total and was more efficient than in any other game. He came back to life in 33 minutes against the Warriors with just 14 points. He’s scored 17 or more points in just two games this season. We’ll back his under.
Meanwhile, Franz Wagner has earned 4.1 assists per game this season. Wagner started the season with three or fewer assists in his first two of three games. Since that point, he’s added four games with four assists and has earned four assists in four of his last five games. He’s got a solid matchup against the Kings, who have allowed an average rate of assists this season.
However, Wagner should still go Under 1.5 threes made. He shot under 20% from downtown in October and started November going 2-for-6. Against the Warriors, he only took one shot from downtown. He had been taking over four shots from the three-point line per game. So look for him to stay Under 1.5 threes.
