Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

Let’s dive into our top NBA same game parlay picks for today’s slate of games.

Milwaukee Bucks at Indiana Pacers

Milwaukee was able to stave off elimination last game at home, but it’s hard to see that happening again in Indiana without Giannis and Dame. They’re +8-point road dogs and will look to Bobby Portis to do most of the dirty work. Last game, he put up a team-high 24 shots, converting on 14, ultimately finishing with 29 points. The Pacers have allowed the most points in the paint this season and without Giannis, it will be Portis doing most of the scoring from that region for Milwaukee.

Looking at the second leg, Spicy P’s production has taken a massive step back over the past three games of this series for whatever reason. Pascal Siakam went nuclear in the first two games, but since then has recorded just 30, 29, and 18 points + rebounds + assists. The main difference in this has been the Bucks’ willingness to slow down the pace, resulting in fewer easy buckets in transition for Siakam.

Even with limited playing time, Obi Toppin hasn’t had any trouble going over this line in the series. That’s because he’ll be going up against the second team in Milwaukee, which consists of the likes of Pat Connaughton, Jae Crowder, and Danilo Gallinari. He has gone over this mark in four of five games, including in four straight, averaging 10.6 points per game.

Parlay Odds: +525

New York Knicks at Philadelphia 76ers

Game 4 was all but done until Tyrese Maxey and the Sixers clawed their way back to a victory to force Game 5. Despite his heroics, look for the Knicks to make some adjustments and shut him down here. OG Anunoby, one of the best defenders in the game, will likely be the one to draw the Maxey assignment, and finding 28 points in a game with a 198.5 total is pretty difficult, especially after logging a whopping 52 minutes. This is a line that Maxey has failed to get over in 60% of games with Embiid.

Nicolas Batum was out there toward the end of the game when Philly made their comeback, and it’s reasonable to assume he’ll be out there for a decent chunk in this one as well. He has gone over this rebound prop in four straight games in this series. Both of these teams are gassed after last game, so there ought to be plenty of rebounding opportunities for both sides.

Lastly, he only found six rebounds, but Anunoby had 16 rebound chances last game across 50 minutes of playing time. However, he really shined off the glass in Game 4; Anunoby had 14 boards on 20 rebound chances. That did come without Mitchell Robinson, but still. He had plenty of opportunities for boards last game with him. He’s going to be on the floor for the vast majority of the game, so look for him to haul in at least six in this spot once again.

Parlay Odds: +550
