New Orleans Pelicans @ Chicago Bulls
- Leg 1: Dejounte Murray 15+ Points (-185)
- Leg 2: Dejounte Murray 6+ Assists (-480)
- Leg 3: New Orleans Moneyline (+106)
Dejounte Murray has put together a solid stretch of scoring production over the last four contests, averaging 23 points on 50% shooting from the field. What stands out most over this span of games is the high volume of field goal attempts. Murray has shot the ball an average of 17.5 times in the last four contests.
The veteran guard has also attempted no fewer than five shots from beyond the arc, connecting on 42% of them. Murray has knocked down at least two baskets from deep in all four games, including one game where he made six.
Chicago is one of the worst collective defensive units in the league and they also rank second in the league in pace. The Bulls allow over 120 points per game to the opposition. This all makes for a fantastic matchup for Murray, who is currently surging through a hot streak.
As for the assists, the last time when these two teams faced off, Murray ended the contest with 10 dimes. The New Orleans guard has recorded six or more assists in eight out of his last 10 games. Chicago concedes an average of 29 assists per game on the season and 30.8 over its last five games.
While the over/under appears to be a more palatable way to end off this parlay, we are looking for the plus action in a contest that is extremely high and tight. The spread for this contest is currently 1.5 points, which means oddsmakers are expecting this game to be decided by one basket.
Considering the brutal injury woes for the Pelicans are somewhat subsiding, we are going to back New Orleans in a battle where both teams have openly discussed the possibility of trading away at least two starting players.
We wouldn't fault you at all for feeling a stronger sense of confidence in the total. Again, if this game is going to possibly be decided by a basket, we want to be on the side of the team in better recent form, especially if the payout is higher.
New Orleans was victorious by 12 points the last time these two teams met earlier in the season. After an abysmal 11-game losing streak, the Pelicans have won three out of their last six contests. Two of those three wins were on the road.
Chicago is simply lapsed on the defensive side of the ball, allowing the second-most points and assists, while opponents connect on 47.5% of field-goal attempts. New Orleans has increased their defensive rating by over four points in the last five games, only giving up an average of 111.2 points per game over that span.

Sacramento Kings @ Milwaukee Bucks
- Leg 1: Malik Monk 15+ Points (-220)
- Leg 2: Malik Monk 4+ Assists (-550)
- Leg 3: Sacramento Moneyline (+126)
Malik Monk is currently going nuclear, and we are going to tail him, as well as the Kings, for a few more games to see if we can extract any additional juice. At some point, streaks will be broken, however, this contest does not appear to be the night for the good times to end.
Monk is currently listed as questionable. However, we feel he will be out there tonight. As always, make sure to check the BettingPros app for updated information.
The Sacramento guard has scored 18+ points in six straight contests while shooting 44.4% from the field. Over this span, he is averaging 2.6 baskets from beyond the arc, with more than five made in two of the six games.
Milwaukee is allowing 112.0 points on 46% shooting from the field over its last five games, while opponents connect on 14.4 three-pointers.
Monk has not only picked up the scoring as of late, but the assist totals have been remarkable as well. The veteran guard has dished out at least six assists in his last eight matchups. Over this span, he is averaging 7.5 assists per game, including three games with eight or more.
We close out the parlay with one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Since firing head coach Mike Brown, Sacramento has been on fire, with a current seven-game win streak. Again, we don't expect this team to run the table for the rest of the season. Having said that, we do feel the Kings can dig deep and pick up another win on the road in Milwaukee.
The Bucks are coming off a disaster-type performance at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, where they were routed by 36 points. This was a surprising turn of events given Milwaukee had previously put together a solid three-game win streak.
Ultimately, this selection comes down to firepower. The Bucks who will be without the services of the often-injured Khris Middleton, may not have enough to keep up with the spectacular run Sacramento is currently on. The Kings lead the league with an average of 121.6 points over their seven-game win streak. Milwaukee is only scoring 113 points in its last seven contests, while Sacramento is holding opponents to 110.4 points per game in that span.
