NBA Playoffs Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Saturday (5/6)

The NBA Playoffs have been highly competitive.

We’ve got two Game 3’s between teams that are 1-1 in their series.

The Knicks and Warriors will look to win back homecourt advantage on the road in Game 3. Which team will be lucky enough to get the job done?

I’ve added a couple of same-game parlays for today’s Game 3 matchups in the NBA Conference Semifinals.

New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat

• Leg 1: Jalen Brunson Over 24.5 Points (-115)
  
• Leg 2: Gabe Vincent Over 3.5 Assists (-154)
  
• Leg 3: Jalen Brunson Over 3.5 Rebounds (-138)

The Miami Heat have done a good job containing Jalen Brunson throughout the season. They’ve made adjustments. But now Brunson has made his own adjustments on offense.

Brunson has scored an average of 27.5 points per game against the Heat in the playoffs. He’s attempted 21 shots per game and is shooting 50% from the field. He’ll get to the foul line several times, but as long as he’s hitting his three-point attempts. he’s going to get 25+ points.

Brunson has also stepped up in the rebounding department. He’s playing nearly 40 minutes per game and has added five rebounds in his first two games against the Heat. Brunson has hit this line in six straight games.

Meanwhile, I like Gabe Vincent to continue his dominance against the Knicks. Vincent will still be a primary scoring option for the Heat, even with Butler back. But he’s also added five assists per game against the Knicks in the first two playoff games. He’s nailed this number in four straight games. There’s no reason why he can’t make it five.

Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers

• Leg 1: D’Angelo Russell Over 5.5 Assists (-128)
  
• Leg 2: Dennis Schroder Under 2.5 Assists (-150)
  
• Leg 3: Stephen Curry Under 4.5 Threes (+132)

The Lakers should be much better offensively in Game 3, at home. D’Angelo Russell has averaged seven assists per game against the Warriors in the playoffs. He even had eight assists in just 28 minutes in Game 2. Russell has hit this number in 63% of games this season and has been consistent around that 60% range, hitting this number in six of his last ten.

Meanwhile, Dennis Schroder has averaged five assists per game against the Warriors. He’s been a bright spot for the Lakers off the bench. But his Game 2 effort was a bit poor. He only played 19 minutes compared to his 31 minutes in Game 1. You can expect maybe five more minutes per game out of Schroder compared to his 19 in Game 2. Those extra minutes should help him earn three assists. He’s hit this line in 72% of games this season.

Finally, Steph Curry only shot 3-for-5 from downtown in Game 2 against the Lakers. He still played 30 minutes but allowed Klay Thompson and others to step up and hit big shots. He’s going to take a lot of volume. But I thought the Lakers did well running Curry off the line. If that continues, his volume will be less from downtown, and there’s a good chance he won’t earn at least five threes.
