NBA Playoffs Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Sunday (5/7)

The Philadelphia 76ers and Phoenix Suns will ultimately look to save their seasons today.

The 76ers trail the Boston Celtics 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. If the 76ers go down 3-1 and have to head out on the road, the odds will favor the Celtics to win in five.

Meanwhile, the Suns also trail the Nuggets 2-1 in the Western Conference Semifinals. Again, if the Suns lose tonight, the Nuggets would be up 3-1 with a home game up next.

We’ve got critical Game 4’s. Here are a couple of same-game parlays for tonight’s action.

Sunday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers

• Leg 1:  Jayson Tatum Over 4.5 Assists (-130)
  
• Leg 2: Jaylen Brown Over 3.5 Assists (-120)
  
• Leg 3: De’Anthony Melton Under 3.5 Rebounds  (-160)

Jayson Tatum has averaged 6.3 assists per game against the 76ers this season. He’s got one game where he played just 19 minutes. But in the other two games, when he wasn’t in foul trouble, Tatum played 40+.

He’s added five assists in both games, where he played nearly the entire game. He’s now hit five or more assists in four of his last five and in six of his previous ten.

Meanwhile, Jaylen Brown has added at least four assists in four of his last five games and in three straight. Brown isn’t getting as minutes as Tatum every night. But he’s averaging 4.3 assists per game against the 76ers in the playoffs.

Finally, I’ve got De’Anthony Melton going Under 3.5 rebounds. Melton played 30 minutes in Game 3 and added eight rebounds. But don’t get so excited. He’s added three or fewer rebounds in every other playoff game. There’s also a good chance that he doesn’t play a full 3o minutes again.

Denver Nuggets vs. Phoenix Suns

• Leg 1: Devin Booker Over 4.5 Rebounds (-128)
  
• Leg 2: Nikola Jokic Over 14.5 Rebounds (+110)
  
• Leg 3: Kevin Durant Over 2.5 Threes (-210)

Devin Booker is tearing it up offensively. He’s added 36.3 points per game against the Nuggets on 60.3% from the field this season. But he’s also averaging five rebounds per game against the Nuggets. Booker has hit this number in four of his last five games and in six of his previous ten. He’s going to end up with a triple-double sooner than later. He’ll need the rebounds to do it.

Meanwhile, Kevin Durant is shooting 61.5% from deep against the Nuggets this season. However, he’s been poor from deep in the first three games of this series, shooting just 20% on 6.7 attempts per game.

Still, the volume is there. He’s taken at least five threes in his last two games. He’ll keep firing away and will eventually connect.

Lastly, I’ve got Nikola Jokic continuing his dominance on the glass. He’s added at least 16 rebounds in every game against the Nuggets in the playoffs. Jokic has earned 40+ minutes in two of the three games and just came off a game where he had 30 points, 17 assists, and 17 rebounds.

You’re telling me this guy isn’t the MVP? Crazy. Let’s take his Over on rebounds at +110 to finish this parlay off.
