Wednesday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlays
(NBA odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Detroit Pistons vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
- Leg 1: Pistons +13 (-108)
- Leg 2: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 34+ Points (-120)
- Leg 3: Both Teams to Score Over 105.5 Points (-165)
The Pistons are playing for seeding as they currently sit fifth in the Eastern Conference. The fourth seed is within reach, as they’re just two games behind the Pacers, but they are only one game ahead of the Bucks for the No. 6 seed. Detroit has been one of the greatest stories to watch this season. This was the worst team in the league last year; now they’re postseason-bound.
It has a lot to do with bringing in supporting veterans to help the young players develop. They almost won the last time they played the Thunder. Detroit was within a point late in the game, but Oklahoma City was able to pull away.
It might be tough to beat the Thunder because they have been dominating teams recently. They are riding a 10-game winning streak, with five of those wins being by 20+ points. This shows how they can beat you by either outscoring you or turning things into a defensive matchup.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the leader of this team as he looks for his first MVP. He's never had an off night, which has helped, as this team has dealt with injuries throughout the season. He's scored at least 20+ points in 71 out of 72 games, including 68 straight. If he remains consistent, the Thunder will be tough to beat in the playoffs.
As great as the Thunder are playing, the Pistons are good enough to survive a tough road test. They can challenge each position and make it close like the last matchup.
Parlay Odds: +467
Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics
- Leg 1: Under 211.5 Points (-110)
- Leg 2: Heat Under 99.5 Points (-108)
- Leg 3: Tyler Herro Over 23.5 Points (-120)
The Celtics have made the race for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference interesting. They have won nine straight, gained a lot of ground on the Cavaliers and are only four games behind the top seed. They are showing they don't need the offense and defense to be clicking at the same time to win. During this winning streak, they have allowed the fewest points per game (102.9), while the offense is 11th (117.2) in points scored.
It wasn't too long ago the Heat suffered a 10-game losing streak and fell in the standings to where they are now looking for a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament. Miami is trying to get at least the No. 7 or No. 8 seed for a better chance at making the playoffs.
They followed their 10-game losing streak with a red-hot five-game winning streak. The defense has been great, allowing fewer than 100 points in three of those games.
While the Heat have done well in containing the Celtics’ offense during the regular season series, Boston has much better, as Miami is averaging only 88.3 points per game. We could see another low-scoring matchup.
