Tuesday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Toronto Raptors @ Orlando Magic
- Leg 1: Under 209.5 Points (-112)
- Leg 2: Franz Wagner 25+ Points (-135)
- Leg 3: Immanuel Quickley 18+ Points (-105)
This will be the fourth and final game between these two teams this season. The Raptors have a 2-1 advantage over the Magic, including a two-point victory on Sunday in Orlando. The Magic head into this contest having lost five of their last six games. The only win the team has recorded in this stretch was against the lowly Wizards, a team that has won only 11 games this season.
The 2024-25 campaign has been difficult for the Magic, to say the least. Just as it appeared Orlando was ready to make their push toward the Eastern Conference playoffs, Jalen Suggs is now out indefinitely with a non-contact knee injury.
In the three contests between these teams, the highest combined point total was 206. The suggested 209.5 total is extremely low, yet, there are a few reasons we feel this game once again falls below that threshold.
Orlando favors the under 62.9% of the time this season, while Toronto misses the over in 50.9% of their games. When playing after a win, the Raptors remain under the projected total at a 66.7% success rate. Toronto only hit the over in 12 out of 29 contests this season when playing on the road.
The Magic are averaging 102.6 points per game over their last 10 contests, with the second-lowest effective field goal percentage. These two teams are ranked in the bottom five in regards to offensive rating in the previous 10 games.
It's peculiar to suggest two players eclipsing point props in a contest that has an extremely low total. Having said that, Franz Wagner and Immanuel Quickley have been playing well as of late, and there's a path to extra usage in this contest.
Wagner finished with 25 points against Toronto in Sunday's loss and has scored at least 25 points in six of his previous 10 games. Wagner is shooting 48.5% from the field over this stretch, with a true shooting percentage of 5%4. Without Suggs on the floor, Wagner should see a few extra scoring opportunities.
On the other end of the floor, Quickley is averaging 18.5 points over his last 10 contests, while knocking down 2.7 three-pointers over that span. Quickley owns a true shooting percentage of 57% in his last 10 games. He finished the previous contest against the Magic with 24 points.
Parlay Odds: +625
Golden State Warriors @ New York Knicks
- Leg 1: Knicks Moneyline (-250)
- Leg 2: Warriors Team Total Under 112.5 Points (-110)
- Leg 3: Under 230.5 Points (-115)
Steph Curry appeared to have tweaked his ankle in last night's game against the Hornets. The Golden State guard and Brandin Podziemski are currently listed as questionable for this game.
Without Curry on the floor, the Warriors may have a tough time not only getting a victory but also scoring as pronounced as the team has been recently. The schedule plays a major role tonight as this will be a back-to-back road situation for Golden State.
The Warriors will be playing not only their third game in four nights but also their fourth game in six nights. It’s safe to say the odds are quite stacked against Golden State in this contest.
If Curry is not on the floor tonight, the Warriors are going to have to find a way to cover the 112.5 suggested team total. Granted, the Knicks are very capable of allowing the opposition to score at will, as they have surrendered an average of 118 points over their last five games. Having said that, when Curry is not on the floor this season, the Warriors are averaging 108 points on 43.4% shooting from the field.
This total has come down from 232. If news comes out that Curry is officially not available for this contest, there's a good chance it drops much lower. As previously stated, the Warriors are not as powerful on the offensive end without their top-scoring option on the floor. However, their defense over the last eight games has been outright smothering, so New York may not find too much success scoring this evening.
The Warriors rank second in defensive rating over their last 10 games, while allowing only 107.5 points per game. Whereas the Knicks are only averaging 110 points over their last five contests.
Parlay Odds: +168
Los Angeles Clippers @ Phoenix Suns
- Leg 1: Phoenix Suns Moneyline (+136)
- Leg 2: Clippers Team Total Under 113.5 Points (-110)
- Leg 3: Ivica Zubac Over 25+ Points + Rebounds (-320)
Norman Powell is listed as out for this contest, along with Ben Simmons and Derrick Jones Jr. The Suns appear to be somewhat in a better position injury-wise and have two tremendous scoring options who can both go off for 40+ points.
Bradley Beal is listed as questionable at this current time. However, DraftKings Sportsbook is positing props for the Phoenix guard. Which could mean they side with Beal being on the floor tonight. That would make things even more difficult for Los Angeles. We will take the plus action with the Suns at home.
The Clippers without the services of Powell is a situation that will predominately favor the lower end of the Clippers’ team total, as well as the opponent to win. Los Angeles has won only two of their last 10 games without Powell and average just 105.9 points. When playing on the road this season, the Clippers average 108.7 points per game.
Ivica Zubac is averaging 17 points with 12.3 rebounds over the last 10 contests. The Lakers center faces a Phoenix team allowing an average of over 49 points in the paint each contest and over 52 rebounds per game when playing on the road. Zubac is averaging 22.7 points and over 12 rebounds in his last three games against the Suns.
Parlay Odds: +286
