Friday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlays

Odds courtesy of DraftKings

Mikal Bridges Under 25.5 Pts + Reb (-110 DraftKings)

Facing Boston is never easy, and despite the Celtics being known for their top-ranked offense, they also boast the sixth-best defense in the league. Jaylen Brown is officially back, and I am guessing he will draw Bridges.

Brooklyn has been quite the interesting team to follow this season, but obviously, without Kyrie, their offense is going to be worse. I generally think they are going to struggle tonight, and with Boston's highly efficient shooting, Bridges won't have as many opportunities to grab a board, either.

I'd expect this line to be closer to 21 or 22, especially considering he's only averaged 22 combined points and rebounds a game all season. This is not a great spot, especially considering Brooklyn and Boston both rank in the bottom 20 in the league in pace of play, so I'll be throwing a unit on this one.

Chris Paul over 20.5 Pts + Ast (-125 DraftKings)

It is clear that Kevin Durant's presence is going to vastly help Paul's facilitating as he immediately records double-digit assists with Durant playing. Now you can't expect him to score at as high a clip, but the books have already baked that in. 20.5 for this combo prop is simply too low.

Chicago offers a small pace-up spot for Phoenix, and this Suns’ offense is so dynamic that Paul might break this combo prop with assists alone. I'll keep this short and sweet and am quite comfortable throwing a unit on this one.

Dillon Brooks Over 11.5 points (-130 DraftKings)

Finally, I'm keeping it simple, taking the over-point total for the Memphis guard.

Yes, it is tough to go into Denver, but the Nuggets only rank 15th in defensive efficiency, and Memphis is more than just Ja Morant.

Despite this sitting at -130 on DraftKings, the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet still gives it a 78 percent cover probability which gives me confidence in the value. Brooks has averaged 14.5 points per game, and despite this being a tougher matchup, he is still more than capable of reaching 12 points which he has done in two of his last three games, one of them coming against Denver. I'll bet another unit on this prop.
