Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat

Jimmy isn't one to typically surpass this line. Averaging just 20 points per game, he has been held under this mark in seven of nine games, one of which came against the Nets on the first of this month. He's coming off an impressive 32-point performance against the Hornets, but that's more of an aberration from the norm and a result of playing one of the worst defenses in Charlotte. Brooklyn lost Ben Simmons but got Nic Claxton back, and should be able to slow Jimmy down with Mikal Bridges blanketing him. In Butler's last three games against Bridges and the Nets,- he has scored 20, 18, and 13 points.

Without Ben Simmons in the fold, someone is going to have to step up in the assist department. They have now played in four consecutive games without him, and second on the team in potential assists over this span is Mikal Bridges. While he isn’t one usually thought of for his assist prowess, Bridges has gone over this mark in seven of 11 games this season. Plus, the Heat have allowed the third-most assists per game to opposing small forwards.

Following that sentiment, someone is going to have to gather all the boards that Simmons would normally grab. Obviously, the majority will go to Nic Claxton, but a shorter line and arguably a better look is to Mikal Bridges once again. He has five rebounds or more in nine of 11 games. When these teams matched up on 11/1, Bridges finished with seven rebounds and five assists.

Parlay Odds: +550

Oklahoma City Thunder at Golden State Warriors 

The Warriors missing both Steph Curry and Draymond Green opens the door for other players to step up. Chris Paul will undoubtedly be one of the cogs to keep the train rolling. Last game without the two he played 36 minutes and finished with just four assists, but had a potential of 17 in the game. He shot 6-of-14 and had 15 points as well. The Thunder have improved defensively, but still play very fast (4th in pace), and have allowed the most assists to opposing guards. With Paul starting, he should see upwards of 30 minutes and find a way to a double-double.

Additionally, they have allowed the fourth most points per game to opposing shooting guards. So, turn to one of the culprits from the brawl the other day, Klay Thompson. Admittedly, he has not been at his best all season long, but he will see the shot volume in this one, no doubt. In 20 games without Steph last season, Klay averaged 26.4 points per game and had at least 22 points in 14 of those contests.

Leading the Thunder with 7.5 rebounds on 15 rebound chances per game is none other than the rookie Chet Holmgren. He has seven or more boards in six of his last seven games, one of which came against Golden State where he found eight. At least one big man has gone over this mark against the Warriors in five of their last six games.
