All we’ve got this weekend is basketball.

Sure, the Pro Bowl and NHL All-Star Game will be on. But for regular season games, the NBA is the only major professional sport still playing this weekend.

Let’s enjoy some basketball and earn some profit. Here are a couple of same-game parlays for tonight’s slate.

And check out our other top picks for all of Saturday’s betting action:

Today’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

(Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook)

Los Angeles Lakers vs. New Orleans Pelicans

It looks like LeBron James will play for the Lakers on Saturday. He’s listed as questionable, but it sounds like he’s playing. James has averaged 30.1 points per game and has hit 28 or more points in 62% of games played this season. He’s even hit 28 points or more in 70% of his last 20 games. When LeBron is on the floor, he’s shooting a ton of volume and earning a field goal percentage over 50%.

James is also a monster on the glass. He’s earned 8.5 rebounds per game, but his line is set at 7.5. He’s earned at least eight rebounds in nine of his last ten games. That one was Los Angeles’ most recent game against the Pacers, where he had seven rebounds.

On the other hand, it’s great to see Brandon Ingram back. But since his return, he’s hit just three threes in four games, shooting 3-for-17 from deep. In each game, he’s been limiting his three-point attempts, going from six to five to four to two. Take his under for threes made in tonight’s game. Yes, even against a poor Lakers’ perimeter defense.

Parlay Odds: +446

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Chicago Bulls

I’m betting on the leading scorers of their respective teams tonight. Damian Lillard only scored 29 points in a win against Washington, but he’s scored at least 42 points in three of his last six games. He has taken at least ten threes in his last three games and continues to shoot around 50% from the field, despite taking half of his shots from downtown.

On the other hand, DeMar DeRozan has struggled to score a lot of points over his last two games. But he’s still managed to get 26 or more points in six of his last ten games. He’s usually shooting with more volume but last game against the Hornets, DeRozan took just 12 shots. Look for his shot attempts to increase. That will allow him to earn 26 or more points.

Lastly, Zach LaVine of the Bulls has added just 4.8 rebounds per game this season. He had just one rebound in their win against the Hornets but added 14 against the Clippers in the game before that. He sounds inconsistent, but he’s hit five rebounds in seven of his last ten games. And, of course, he can earn ten or more rebounds as well. He’ll get back on track on the glass tonight.

Parlay Odds: +477
