Tuesday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Nikola Jokic has been playing great basketball lately, but his history against the Lakers has been iffy. During the regular season, he only scored 27.5 points against the Lakers once and only averaged 23.3 points per game against them. This game is early in the series, and Jokic will slow down, meaning his scoring will decrease. 

Jamal Murray averages 7.3 three-point attempts per game against the Lakers. That means there is an opportunity for Murray to make over 2.5 of them. Jokic will get defended by Anthony Davis and LeBron James, which means he can pass the ball to Murray for additional shot opportunities. 

LeBron James has been the most consistent offense for the Lakers. He averaged 28.9 points per game during the regular season. The Lakers have been playing through LeBron during the playoffs as well. He scores or distributes the ball to other players on the court, and he will have scoring opportunities tonight.
