Houston Rockets vs. Detroit Pistons
Leg 1: Under 216.5 Points (-110)
Both teams have solid, capable offenses and top-five defenses. Detroit has already beaten Houston this season, but it was a close game, 115-111. Detroit is playing well, having won seven of its last eight. Houston is coming off a three-game home win streak, but has struggled on the road.
Houston is a good team that can bounce back on any given night, which is why I'm betting on both top-five defenses doing their part and keeping the final score low.
Leg 2: Alperen Sengun Over 8.5 Rebounds (-130)
Alperen Sengun only had seven rebounds against the Pistons when Houston played Detroit back in October. But he is averaging 9.3 rebounds per game, and with Steven Adams out, the Rockets will need Sengun to pick up the slack.
Leg 3: Jalen Duren Over 9.5 Rebounds (-122)
Jalen Duren had only six rebounds in the first matchup between these two teams, but he is averaging 10.9 rebounds per game. He has grabbed 18, eight, nine and 15 boards in his last four games. With Houston missing Steven Adams, the Pistons will try to dominate the boards. Duren will be good for at least 10 boards on Friday night.
Parlay Odds: +435 - A $100 wager will result in a $535 payday; your stake plus $435 in winnings.
Denver Nuggets vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Leg 1: Under 221.5 Points (-108)
It is hard to trust Denver to win with the long list of injuries they’re dealing with. But they beat the Bucks 108-104 despite the injuries a couple of weeks ago. That makes me nervous about the spread. However, the score was low in that previous matchup and will be again this time.
Leg 2: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 28.5 Points (-130)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.3 points per game this season, but he scored 33 against the Nuggets a few games ago. In the four games since, he has scored 25, 21, 21 and 19 points. Against the motley collection of players Denver will roll out, I like Antetokounmpo’s chances of going over this total.
Leg 3: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 9.5 Rebounds (-136)
Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 9.9 rebounds per game and has had 14 and 17 in his last two games. Against an injury-riddled Denver frontcourt, he may have 10 before the end of the first half.
Parlay Odds Odds: +434 - A $100 wager would result in a $534 payday; your stake plus $434 in winnings.
