    Wednesday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

    (Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)

    Oklahoma City Thunder at Sacramento Kings

    I’ll keep reiterating this until it stops. Anytime the Pacers are on the hardwood, all the overs are in play. They play at the fastest pace and own the worst defensive net rating in the association. Indiana also has no rim protection whatsoever and has allowed the most points in the paint, which sets up Miles Bridges to have a day.

    Roughly 50% of Bridges’ scoring comes from within the paint, and without Mark Williams or LaMelo Ball around, someone will have to pick up the scoring for Charlotte. He has gone up against a gauntlet of solid teams at defending the paint more recently, but he went off the last time he had a plus matchup like this. Bridges put up a season-best 33 points against the Wizards, who have allowed the 2nd-most points in the paint.

    The Hornets hardly play any defense themselves, ranking 28th in defensive net rating. They’re also 25th in points allowed in the paint and have allowed the fourth-most points and third-most rebounds to opposing centers. The Pacers starting center, Myles Turner, should be able to feast in this matchup, and he’s averaging 24.7 Points+Rebounds this season. In games with at least 23 minutes played, Turner has gone over this line in 13-of-18 games averaging 27.2 per game.

    After losing four straight, the Pacers are going to come out firing, and the engine of the offense is Tyrese Haliburton. He leads the NBA in assists per game with 11.9 and has double-digit assists in 18-of-22 games this season.

    Parlay Odds: +244

    Atlanta Hawks at Houston Rockets

    It never feels good fading one of the best at dishing it out, but in this matchup, it makes sense. The Houston Rockets are one of the most defensively sound teams. They are third in defensive net rating and are allowing the fewest assists per game to point guards this season.

    Despite their defensive prowess, someone is going to have to score for Atlanta, and De’Andre Hunter has faired well as of late. The Hawks have been without Jalen Johnson over the past eight games, and Hunter has averaged 17.6 points per game in his stead. He has 12 or more points in each of these contests and should be able to get to this low threshold.

    The leading scorer for the Rockets this season has been their starting center, Alperen Sengun. The third-year center out of Turkey is averaging 19.9 points per game and 66% of that scoring comes from within the paint, where the Hawks struggle to defend. They have allowed the third-most points inside the paint this season. Sengun has scored 20+ points in 12 of his last 17 contests.

    Parlay Odds: +252
