NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Wednesday (10/26)

After an exciting week in the NBA, there is more data for player props and parlays to get ahead of the curve. Each week, I will come at you with my favorite same-game parlay bets for your liking and win you some money throughout the season. With a 10-game slate today, there are plenty of options to build your perfect SGP but remember to take it slow. You don't want to blow your bankroll this early in the season.

Here are my two favorite same-game parlay bets for tonight's slate.

All odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

Miami Heat vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Leg 1: Damian Lillard OVER 6.5 assists (+140)
Leg 2: Miami UNDER 111.5 points (-115)
Leg 3: Josh Hart OVER 12.0 points (+100)

As the lines currently sit, Miami is a 1.5-point favorite, but this game is across the country in Portland. Both teams are in the bottom half of the league in pace, and the Trail Blazers rank sixth in defensive efficiency. Not only do I like Miami going under their total points, but generally speaking, I expect the Trail Blazers to win outright.

Dame ranks seventh in the NBA with a 33.1% usage rate among qualified players. He has hit the ground running early on, doing it all, averaging 33.3 points per game with 5.3 assists and a 35% assist rate. Historically, Dame's assist numbers are higher, and I expect those numbers to regress positively. If you're feeling a little less risky, you could have him going over 5.5 assists at -130, but I'm taking that value with the +140 at 6.5.

Someone I expect him to feed is Josh Hart. The guard has only averaged 1.3 three-pointers attempted per game this year after taking 6.4 a game during the 2021-22 season and 4.1 per game throughout his career. Not only should he take more as the season progresses, but I expect him to get plenty of open looks tonight based on how this Miami defense runs. All he has to do is make the ones he's expected to make.

Parlay Odds: +750

Orlando Magic vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Leg 1: Paolo Banchero OVER 18.5 points (-125)
Leg 2: Franz Wagner UNDER 4.5 assists (-155)
Leg 3: Evan Mobley OVER 8.5 rebounds (+130)

Until proven otherwise, I am buying into the Banchero hype train. The Duke product has averaged just shy of 23 points per game on the season, with 7.5 boards and 3.0 assists to go with it. This guy can do it all. Despite facing a challenging defense in Cleveland, I still expect Banchero to slice and dice his way to roughly 20 points.

Evan Mobley is a guy I've been in on since his early USC days. Last year, he averaged over eight rebounds per game, and he's only improving. He's sitting at 5.3 per game this year, which has brought his number down a bit, offering solid value at +130.

Wagner simply doesn't have those assists numbers in him, and the book agrees as this is a bit of a safer option at -155. Still, this prop is projected at one of the best values on the slate with a +39% expected value according to the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet, and there's nothing I trust more with the 83% cover probability.

Parlay Odds: +575
