NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Wednesday (1/4)

Detroit Pistons vs. Golden State Warriors

Leg 1: Klay Thompson UNDER 25.5 Points (-110)
Leg 2: Jaden Ivey OVER 3.5 Rebounds (+110)
Leg 3: Bojan Bogdanovic OVER 3.5 Rebounds (+105) 

Usually, when a team is facing Detroit, I am all over the point total overs for opposing players. But for Thompson’s line, it’s simply too inflated, especially after his 54-point outing a few nights ago. With the five-game winning streak, the point total for each Golden State player is only going to continue inflating until they have a bad game. The under is the play here.

As for the rebounders, I expect Detroit to keep up with the Warriors on the boards tonight. Jaden Ivey has consistently been rebounding, bringing in 4.0 a game on the season. With the odds of +110, I love his over play here. Bogdanovic is in a similar boat, averaging more than what his prop is set at plus odds is an easy choice for me to bet on here. 

Parlay Odds: +722

Indiana Pacers vs. Philadelphia 76ers 

Leg 1: Joel Embiid OVER 10.5 Rebounds (-125)
Leg 2: James Harden OVER 21.5 Points (-105)
Leg 3: Tyrese Haliburton OVER 8.5 Assists (-105)

Life’s too short to bet the unders right.

Indiana is one of the worst rebounding teams in the nation, ranked 28th in the nation and Embiid will feast down low without a problem. I don’t expect Myles Turner to put up too much of a fight here so Embiid’s double-double should be secured without a problem. 

Someone else who’s hungry is James Harden. His point total should be closer to 24 here and I’m loving it. The BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet has tagged this as one of the better plays on the slate with a +32 percent expected value.

Indiana has the seventh-ranked assist rate, hence my pick of Haliburton’s assist total going over. He’s a solid facilitator who is only getting better and with Indiana having the fourth-fastest pace, there will be plenty of possessions for Haliburton to rack up assists. 

Parlay Odds: +580

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Charlotte Hornets 

Leg 1: Steven Adams OVER 2.5 Assists (+130)
Leg 2: Terry Rozier OVER 4.5 Assists (+130)
Leg 3: Mason Plumlee UNDER -11.5 Points (-125)

This is a bit of a value play, but I’m still confident in each prop. Both teams rank in the top 10 in pace-of-play, so I expect a lot of possessions here, giving me confidence in the longer shot parlay props. Desmond Bane should be back after missing the last game, which gives better opportunities for Adams to facilitate.

Rozier has been averaging 5.4 assists this season and his ability to toss the rock around has only improved with LaMelo Ball back in the fray. But at the same time, Memphis reps the second most efficient defense in the nation. It’ll be tough to toe the line of Rozier over and Plumlee under.    

Parlay Odds: +850
