NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Nuggets vs. Thunder (Thursday)

by |

After an exciting few weeks in the NBA, there is more data to get ahead of the curve for player props and parlays. Each week, I will come at you with my favorite same-game parlay bets for your liking and win you some money throughout the season. With a two-game slate today, there aren’t too many options to build your perfect SGP, so remember to take it slow. You don’t want to blow your bankroll this early in the season. 

Here are my two favorite same-game parlay bets for tonight’s slate. And here’s a closer look at Nuggets vs. Thunder.

NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Nuggets vs. Thunder

Denver Nuggets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

  • Leg 1: Aaron Gordon 2+ assists (-170)
  • Leg 2: Nikola Jokic 13+ rebounds (-135)
  • Leg 3: Michael Porter Jr. OVER 6.5 rebounds (-145)

The Thunder actually has a solid defense, ranking third in defensive efficiency. So while I’m avoiding point totals for any parlay leg, their sixth-ranked pace of play means more possessions and extra opportunity for Nuggets players to be involved on the glass and with facilitating.

Oklahoma City has a middling offensive rebound rate, ranking 15th, with an overall rebound rate ranking lower at 22nd. Denver’s 10th-ranked rebounding rate should show out in this game, and I expect the two biggest beneficiaries of the mismatch on the glass to be Jokic and Porter Jr. 

Denver also has the sixth-highest assist ratio in the NBA. With Aaron Gordon averaging just shy of two assists this season, I’m confident in his ability to reach a pair of assists tonight, given that his career numbers are higher in the category. This parlay is a bit safer, but I still see it as a solid value.
