Today's Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets: Pelicans vs. Mavericks
All odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook
Pelicans vs. Mavericks
- Leg 1: Luka Doncic Over 35.5 Points (+105)
- Leg 2: CJ McCollum Over 21.5 Points (+110)
- Leg 3: Over 225.5 Points (-105)
To start the night I'm going with a correlated play where I see points on points being scored. Obviously, Zion Williamson is out for the Pelicans, which has brought this total line down too much. With their star being out, New Orleans will need someone to step up. In steps CJ McCollum.
Over the last two months, McCollum has consistently averaged 23.4 points per game. To get his prop at 21.5 points with plus money is a steal and a half, especially going up against a rough Dallas defense.
On the other side, Luka is coming off 41-point and 53-point outings and I am going to ride the hot streak while he continues playing at home. With a game that is expected to be close, I see him stepping up and taking over. It helps too that New Orleans offers a big pace-up spot for Dallas as well. This isn't the craziest of props and I'll be laying one unit on it.
