Wednesday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlays: Magic vs. Pistons
(Odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook)
Magic vs. Pistons Same Game Parlay
Leg #1: Pistons Team Total Under 110.5 Points (-108)
Oddsmakers must think the Pistons are going to look like a different team at home in Game 5 because setting this total at 110.5 makes no sense.
Orlando’s defense has absolutely smothered the Pistons in this series, holding them to fewer than 100 points twice. Additionally, the Pistons have yet to score more than 105 in a game, despite Cade Cunningham scoring at least 25 points in every game.
I understand that the Pistons averaged 117.8 points per game in the regular season, but this is a team averaging 98 points per game in this series. Until they prove they can top 110, I'm taking the under.
Leg #2: Cade Cunningham Over 2.5 Made Three-Pointers (+152)
Cade Cunningham isn't shooting particularly well this postseason, but he is averaging 8.8 three-point attempts per game. That's 3.1 more per game than he averaged during the regular season.
While Cunningham is only making 28.6% of his three-pointers against the Magic, he's managed to make three three-pointers in three of his four games in this series. Cunningham has attempted at least eight threes in three of his four games, and I expect him to hit that number again in Game 5, as he attempts to single-handedly keep the Pistons' season alive.
Leg #3: Wendell Carter Jr. Over 8.5 Rebounds (-107)
Wendell Carter Jr. has 28 rebounds in his last two games, pulling down 17 in Game 3 and 11 in Game 4. While he didn't perform as well in the first two games of the series, he was also hindered by foul trouble in Game 2, which resulted in him playing just 24 minutes.
The Magic are holding the Pistons to just 41.9% shooting from the floor, and considering I think the Pistons are going to hit their team total under again in Game 5, it's safe to assume there will be plenty of rebounding opportunities for Carter. Additionally, the Pistons are allowing 46.8 rebounds per game this series, which is tied for the second-most of any team in the playoffs.
