NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Saturday (12/30)
We’ve got six games on the NBA slate tonight, including three at 8:00 pm ET or later.
Every matchup on the slate has a spread of no more than 4.5. Therefore, we should have many close games, with hopefully no blowouts.
That said, I’ve added a couple of same-game parlays for tonight’s matchups. Tail along below!
Saturday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Chicago Bulls
- Leg 1: De’Anthony Melton Under 16.5 Points (-130)
- Leg 2: Coby White Under 5.5 Assists (-128)
- Leg 3: Andre Drummond Under 16.5 Rebounds (-111)
Joel Embiid will miss this game due to an ankle injury. Meanwhile, Zach LaVine is still out due to a foot injury, and Nikola Vucevic is injured with a groin injury.
With many starters missing, other guys will be counted on. But some of these lines are still too high.
De’Anthony Melton has only hit 17 or more points in 20% of games this season. He’s also hit this line in just one of his last ten games. Even with Embiid in the lineup most games, Melton has seen 30 minutes of action and has attempted an average of just over ten shots a game. Do we really think his volume will increase that much more with Embiid out? Maybe he gets a couple more shots. But 17 points is asking for too much.
Meanwhile, Coby White has attempted 17.5 shots per game in December. He also averaged six assists per game in the month. However, he’s not racking up the assists like he has been. White has earned six or more assists in only one of his last five games and in four of his last ten games.
Finally, Andre Drummond has added 25 and 16 rebounds in his last two games. But he’s a game with foul trouble away from struggling to earn minutes. He only had 21 minutes against the Pacers in a blowout loss last time out. With almost any center, I’ll happily take the Under 16.5 rebounds in a game where a player might only earn 20 minutes in the game. This will be a fun sweat.
Parlay Odds: +443
Dallas Mavericks vs. Golden State Warriors
- Leg 1: Jonathan Kuminga Over 12.5 Points (-113)
- Leg 2: Brandin Podziemski Over 10.5 Points (-128)
- Leg 3: Klay Thompson Over 3.5 Threes (-111)
Let’s stack the Warriors tonight.
Jonathan Kuminga has averaged 12.4 points per game this season. However, he’s hit at least 13 points in six of his last ten games. He’s also had success against Dallas’ defense before, dating back to last season.
Most power forwards have. The Mavericks rank 25th in points against power forwards, proving Kuminga has a solid matchup against Dallas tonight.
The Mavericks also rank 24th in points against shooting guards. Brandin Podziemski has earned 11 points per game in December. He’s also seen a minutes increase throughout the month and has played 29 minutes a game.
The Santa Clara guard has attempted four threes a game and is shooting about 40% from the field. He’s also attempted over nine shots a game and has hit 47.3% in the month.
Lastly, Klay Thompson has certainly regressed this season. Still, he’s nailed at least four threes in seven of his last ten games. He’s even taking about ten threes a night in the month and has drained four per game. That would be enough for this parlay!
Parlay Odds: +476
