Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks
Leg #1: Mikal Bridges Over 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-118)
Mikal Bridgers had 16 points, six assists and five rebounds in the opener versus Cleveland for a total of 27 combined points + rebounds + assists. Last season, he averaged over this total for the season, so I like his chances of hitting the over tonight.
Leg #2: Jaylen Brown Over 30.5 Points + Rebounds (-118)
Jaylen Brown averaged 22.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game last season, but with Jayson Tatum out for most of the season, Brown’s role will be much larger. He recorded 25 points and six rebounds in the opener against the 76ers. As he continues to grow into his new, expanded role, his production will increase. With that in mind, look for Brown to have numbers similar to or better than he had in Boston’s opener.
Leg #3: Knicks -3.5 (-114)
Keep an eye on Josh Hart and Karl-Anthony Towns’ availability for the Knicks. With them in the lineup, the Knicks will take this game. Without them, I think they still can, but I'm not as confident.
Parlay Odds: +464 - A $100 wager will result in a $564 payday; your stake plus $464 in winnings.
Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Leg #1: Luka Doncic to Record a Double-Double (-160)
Taking this leg is almost like cheating after watching Luka Doncic come close to recording a triple-double in the opener (43 points, 12 rebounds, nine assists). He recorded 21 double-doubles in 26 games last season.
Leg #2: Donte DiVincenzo Over 2.5 Made Three-Pointers (+122)
Donte DiVincenzo averaged nearly three made three-pointers last season (2.8 per game on 7.1 attempts per game) while playing around 25 minutes per game in a reserve role. He went 1-of-3 in the opener in 20 minutes after getting the start. The Lakers are weak on the perimeter, so I like his chances of making three tonight.
Leg #3: Timberwolves -2.5 (-110)
Luka Doncic is going to make the Lakers must-see TV, but he is not enough for them to beat a good Minnesota team right now. The Timberwolves owned the Lakers in the first round of the playoffs last season. I expect them to pick up where they left off.
Parlay Odds: +548 - A $100 wager will result in a $648 payday; your stake plus $548 in winnings.
