Saturday's Best NBA Playoffs Same Game Parlays
Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.
Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Lakers
- Leg 1: LeBron James Over 28.5 Points (-120)
- Leg 2: Rui Hachimura Over 14.5 Points (+100)
- Leg 3: Dillon Brooks Under 14.5 Points (-118)
LeBron James is the Lakers’ offense. He creates shots for himself and others. That means LeBron is always a threat to score points. Lately, Dillon Brooks has been talking smack about LeBron James. Last game, James showed he could score points on Brooks easily. James will take advantage of that all series.
Rui Hachimura is averaging 24.5 points per game in this series. He has been their only consistent three-point shooter in the playoffs. Until someone else on the Lakers steps up, Hachimure will continue to fill that role. He averages ten points off the scoring line, meaning there is plenty of betting value tonight.
Dillon Brooks is focusing on playing defense in this series. He wants to stop LeBron and that has impacted his scoring. He is averaging 13.5 points per game and 37% shooting. The Grizzlies have plenty of players that can score, meaning Brooks will continue to focus on defense while others take the lead offensively.
Parlay Odds: +654
Phoenix Suns at Los Angeles Clippers
- Leg 1: Kevin Durant Under 2.5 Three Pointers (-158)
- Leg 2: Devin Booker Under 30.5 Points (-108)
- Leg 3: Chris Paul Over 8.5 Assists (-138)
Kevin Durant can score points, however, one thing he has struggled with lately is three-pointers. He is 4-for-14 from deep this series against the Clippers. With Kawhi Leonard sitting out, once the Suns score enough points, they rest their players more than usual. That could limit Durant's three-point opportunities.
Devin Booker is playing alongside Kevin Durant and DeAndre Ayton. That means other players can score in this offense, and that limits his scoring opportunities. The Sun's starters might play fewer minutes this game too. Between the chance for fewer minutes and the scoring ability of the Sun's team, this scoring line is high for Booker tonight.
Chris Paul has made a living on creating opportunities for other players to score. During the regular season, he averaged 8.9 assists per game. The addition of Kevin Durant can only increase that number. Without Kawhi Leonard, Paul will have additional opportunities to create scoring for the other players on the Suns.
Parlay Odds: +486
Philadelphia 76ers at Brooklyn Nets
- Leg 1: James Harden Under 23.5 Points (-113)
- Leg 2: Tyrese Maxey Over 24.5 Points (+100)
- Leg 3: Spencer Dinwiddie Over 8.5 Assists (+116)
James Harden has slowed down in scoring toward the end of this season. During the postseason, he averages 17.3 points per game. Even with Embiid out, Philadelphia has other players that can score the ball and that means Harden will be able to create opportunities for them.
Tyrese Maxey is the player that can score and will benefit most from Embiid being out. He averages 23.7 points per game in the postseason. He can take over a game and score on multiple levels. That ability means Philadelphia will look to him as their first option tonight without Embiid.
This leg of the three-leg parlay is a value pick. Dinwiddie averages 9.1 assists per game during the regular season. That means he consistently hit this number throughout the season. Bettors can get this at plus money which is always a bonus in a parlay. These three legs are high-risk, high-reward.
Parlay Odds: +651
