Friday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Detroit Pistons

The Pistons will be without the services of their star player, Cade Cunningham. This obviously gives Cleveland a huge advantage in this contest, despite the Cavs playing their second game in as many nights.
Detroit is 4-3 without Cunningham on the season. In those victories, the Pistons defeated four teams who were already out of the playoff picture. Against teams that are still in the running to make the playoffs, Detroit is 0-2.
The Cavs are 11-3 on the season in back-to-back situations, and will most likely have Evan Mobley back on the floor for this contest. Cleveland is also 7-1 when playing on consecutive nights at home. Things are not looking good for Detroit. The Cavs on the money line is juicy, yet it's a logical start to this parlay.
At first glance, it would seem as if Detroit has no issues scoring when Cunningham is not in uniform. The Pistons have averaged 113 points in the seven games this season where their top scoring option is out. Once again though, five of those contests were played against some of the lowest-ranked defenses in the NBA. 
 
When they have played a team ranked in the top half of the league in regards to defense, the Pistons are averaging 105.5 points. In the three losses without Cunningham, the Pistons are averaging 102.3 points. Detroit is 6-10 against their team total when playing with a rest advantage, and 7-11 as home underdogs. 
 
For the Cavs, the team has only fallen short of the 119.5 point threshold in one of eight games when on a back-to-back, and playing at home this season. Cleveland is averaging 126.6 points in games played on consecutive nights on their home floor. Detroit has allowed at least 120 points or more in their last three games without Cunningham. 
Parlay Odds: +480

New York Knicks vs. Milwaukee Bucks

It's tough to imagine things getting much worse for Milwaukee at this point in the season. Losing Damian Lillard is a serious blow to their playoff aspirations, and now it seems that Giannis Antetokounmpo may once again miss another contest with a left foot sprain. 
 
As of this time, the "Greek Freak", is listed as questionable, so check back on the BettingPros app a little later for all your up-to-date information. If the Bucks are going to be without their two best players, along with Bobby Portis, there is simply no way we can confidently see the Knicks losing this contest. 
Milwaukee has only successfully scored more than 115.5 points twice in their previous six games. The Bucks are averaging 108.8 points over that span, and are ranked 20th in offensive rating. Milwaukee is averaging 111.1 points per game without Giannis on the floor, and 109.1 without Damian Lillard.
 
New York is allowing 109.1 points over their last ten games, and have surrendered 115.5 points or more in only two of those contests. 
 
Karl-Anthony Towns is averaging 28.8 points with 11.8 boards over the last four games and seems to be in fantastic form heading into the playoffs. KAT has scored at least 25+ points in four of five games- putting up 24 points in the one contest where he fell short.
The New York forward has combined for over 60 points in the two contests played against Milwaukee on the season. KAT scored 30+ points in both of those games and without Jalen Brunson, and Deuce Mc Bride on the floor for New York this evening, we expect a few extra scoring opportunities for the top available option for points.
Towns has also posted a double-double in each of the games played against Milwaukee this season. Over the last 10 games, the Knicks forward has recorded a double-double in six of those contests.
