NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Monday (1/15)
It can get a bit overwhelming with 11 games on the NBA slate on MLK Day. But don’t worry. I’ve looked at each game and found my two favorite matchups for some same-game parlay action.
The goal is to hit one of these two bets, at least. That would be enough to profit. Let’s get right to it!
Monday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Dallas Mavericks
- Leg 1: Jonas Valanciunas Over 13.5 Points (-113)
- Leg 2: CJ McCollum Over 4.5 Assists (-132)
- Leg 3: Zion Williamson Over 4.5 Assists (+104)
Let’s start with Jonas Valanciunas. He’s added 14.3 points per game this season but has a line of just 13.5 tonight. Valanciunas has shot 57.3% from the field and is taking on a Dallas defense that ranks 25th in points allowed to centers. Meanwhile, the New Orleans big man has added at least 14 points in four straight games and hit at least 13 in his last five matchups.
In January, CJ McCollum has added 5.3 assists per game. That’s higher than his 5.1 average on the season. McCollum has earned at least five assists in four of his last six games and has 15 in his previous 56 minutes played. With Dallas being a below-average defense regarding assists to point guards, we’ll take McCollum to get at least five assists tonight. He’s had previous success against the Mavericks with assists in the assist column.
Finally, Zion Williamson has added 4.6 assists per game this season. That’s not as high as McCollum’s, but he added at least five assists in four of his last five games. Williamson has even earned five assists in six of his last ten games. In his previous two games, he compiled 12 assists in 65 minutes.
Parlay Odds: +419
Boston Celtics vs. Toronto Raptors
- Leg 1: Scottie Barnes Over 4.5 Assists (-160)
- Leg 2: Derrick White Over 3.5 Rebounds (-132)
- Leg 3: RJ Barrett Under 2.5 Assists (+116)
The Raptors are going to build around Scottie Barnes. He’s their man, someone they believe will become a bonafide all-star. He’s added over 20 points per game but also has 8.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game this season. Still, his assist prop is sitting at 4.5 for tonight’s game against the Celtics.
Barnes has added at least five assists in 72% of games this season. He’s even hit this line in seven of his last ten games and will face a Celtics team that ranks 23rd in assists allowed to small forwards. I’ll take his Over.
However, I’ll grab the RJ Barrett Under in assists. Barrett is taking on a Celtics team that ranks No. 1 in limiting assists against shooting guards. Barrett has also hit three or more assists in just 39% of games this season.
Lastly, Derrick White has earned at least four rebounds in 64% of games this season for the Celtics. He’s had lots of success against the Raptors throughout the last couple of seasons and has nailed at least four rebounds in seven of his last ten games.
White is facing a Toronto defense that ranks 28th in rebounds allowed to shooting guards. We’ll finish the parlay with his Over.
