Unlike yesterday, we’re working with a smaller five-game slate in the association tonight for this Thursday, January 18th, but just like yesterday, I’m here to find two same-game parlays. SGPs are pretty simple. Pair together multiple bets to increase your odds. Get all legs correct, and cash out. Here are our top same game parlay picks for Thursday’s game.

Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets: Thunder vs. Jazz
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Thunder vs. Jazz
- Leg 1: Lauri Markkanen Over 9.5 Rebounds (+100)
- Leg 2: Lauri Markkanen Over 24.5 Points (-105)
- Leg 3: Jalen Williams Over 24.5 Points+Assists (-135)
The Jazz have been on a tear, winning 12 of their last 14 games. Leading the charge for Utah has been none other than Lauri Markkanen. He has been particularly effective off the glass over this run, averaging 9.2 rebounds per game across his last 13. Markkanen has found at least nine boards in nine of his last 13, and the Thunder have allowed the fourth most rebounds per game to Power Forwards on the year. Both teams play at a blistering fast tempo, ranking in the top 10 in pace, so there should be plenty of rebound opportunities for him in this one.
Markkanen has also been on point in the scoring department, averaging 25 points per game during this span. That doesn’t sound amazing with the point prop we’re working with, but he played 26 minutes or less in three of those games. Take those contests out, and he’s over this mark in seven of 10 games, averaging 27.9 per game. With a 246.5 game total, there ought to be plenty of scoring in this one so look for Lauri to be Utah’s top-scoring contributor.
As for OKC, Jalen Williams has been on fire since the start of the new year. Over his last eight games, he is averaging 21 points and 6.5 assists per game. He has eclipsed this 24.5 line in seven of those eight contests and should be able to get over it once again. Utah has allowed the fifth most points per game to opposing Power Forwards on the season.
