NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Jazz vs. Rockets
- Leg 1: Lauri Markkanen UNDER 25.5 points (-111)
- Leg 2: Jabari Smith UNDER 6.5 rebounds (+100)
- Leg 3: Jarred Vanderbilt OVER 6.5 rebounds (-120)
Houston is one of the best rebounding teams in the country, ranking third in rebound rate. But Jabar Smith is coming off a 13-rebound game which is over-inflating his rebound total, which I projected to be set at 5.5.
Someone who I expect to give Houston trouble down low: Jarred Vanderbilt. The Jazz big man has averaged nearly eight boards a game this season, bringing in at least seven in three of their last four games. With the Jazz’s high offensive efficiency and the Rockets’ second-to-last-ranked defense, Vanderbilt will also have an easier time pulling in rebounds.
Utah’s offense isn’t good enough for Markkanen to score 26 points though. I expect his total to hover at just over 20. The BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet has his prop under as one of the best plays on the slate today, with a +40 percent expected value.
