Tuesday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlays: Trail Blazers vs. Spurs
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Here are the best NBA same-game parlays for Tuesday, April 21st. Odds provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.
Trail Blazers vs. Spurs Same Game Parlay
Leg #1: Spurs -11.5 (-105)
In Game 1, the Spurs didn't start to pull away until late in the third quarter. However, once they turned it on, they built up a 21-point lead before ultimately winning by 13. While it wasn't the most impressive performance, I'm still shocked that the public is showing so much support for the Trail Blazers.
The spread has dropped from 12.5 to 11.5. And while the Spurs only won two of the three meetings in the regular season, both of those wins were by at least 11. Plus, the Spurs have won 15 of their last 17 games, and 12 of those 15 victories were by more than 11 points.
Leg #2: Trail Blazers Under 103.5 (-108)
Picking the Spurs to cover and the Trail Blazers to go Under their listed team total won't do much for this parlay's odds, but this feels like a safe bet based on what the Trail Blazers have done against the Spurs this season. The Spurs have held Portland to 102 or fewer points in three of their four meetings.
The Trail Blazers were one of the worst offensive teams to make the playoffs, averaging just 115.5 points per contest. And while that average is certainly higher than this posted total of 103.5, keep in mind that the Spurs have held nine of their last 17 opponents to 103 or fewer.
Leg #3: Deni Avdija 25+ Points (+108)
To elevate the odds of this parlay, I'm contradicting my first two selections with this third pick. Despite thinking that the Spurs are going to crush the Trail Blazers, I expect Avdija to continue to produce at a high level against the Spurs.
After his 30-point performance against the Spurs in Game 1, Avdija has now scored at least 29 points in all four of his games against the Spurs this season. With this in mind, you may be inclined to take him to score at least 30 for +271. While I'm going to play it safer than that, if you do choose to go that route, the price for this parlay at DraftKings is +2000.
Parlay Odds: (+750)
