While the slate includes 12 games, only one will be featured on NBA TV. I’ll build a same-game parlay (SGP) for that game and also provide another same-game parlay for a later NBA game tonight.
Let’s have a night.

New York Knicks vs. New Orleans Pelicans
- Leg 1: Herbert Jones Over 11.5 Points (-106)
- Leg 2: Mikal Bridges Over 17.5 Points (+100)
- Leg 3: Jalen Brunson Over 2.5 Three-Pointers Made (+116)
Herbert Jones has scored at least 12 points in five of his last six games. Now, he’ll face a Knicks team ranked 29th in points allowed to small forwards this season. Jones’ usage has risen with the Pelicans and he’s still playing more than 31 minutes a game.
On the other hand, Mikal Bridges has scored at least 19 points in eight of his last 10 games. After a rough start to his Knicks career, he’s started to find his groove. Bridges will face a Pelicans defense ranked 30th in points allowed to small forwards. It’s unclear if Josh Hart will play tonight. If he doesn’t, that should help Bridges even more.
Finally, consider Jalen Brunson to go over 2.5 threes. Brunson has added at least three three-pointers in six of his last nine games. He’s also hit this line in 56% of games this season. That said, the Pelicans have allowed 3.36 threes to point guards this season, which ranks 25th in the NBA. Brunson has a good matchup here.
Parlay Odds: +620
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Dallas Mavericks
- Leg 1: Kyrie Irving Under 6.5 Assists (-142)
- Leg 2: P.J. Washington Under 2.5 Assists (-150)
- Leg 3: Dereck Lively Under 8.5 Rebounds (-128)
Kyrie Irving has nailed at least seven assists in only 21% of games this season. He’s also added at least seven assists in just 20% of his last 20 games. Meanwhile, he’ll take on a Clippers defense ranked eighth in assists allowed to point guards this season. Irving likely won’t even earn seven potential assists tonight.
The same goes for P.J. Washington. The Clippers rank sixth in the NBA in assists allowed to power forwards. Meanwhile, Washington has had one or fewer potential assists in three of his last four games. Asking for three assists out of Washington is way too much.
Lastly, consider Dereck Lively to grab fewer than nine rebounds. He’s recorded seven in each of his last two games and will take on a Clippers team ranked third in the NBA in rebounds allowed to centers this season. Lively won’t have much success on the offensive glass and won’t be able to pad his rebounds there.
Parlay Odds: +400
