NBA Same Game Parlay Picks & Predictions for Thursday: Clippers vs. Lakers (2022)

by |

After an enthralling 12-game slate yesterday, we are back to a much more lax two-game slate tonight with Bucks-76ers and Clippers-Lakers. This season has already started with a bang. The Pelicans absolutely showed out, and Paulo Banchero shot out of the gate in his NBA debut. 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 only two games today, there are only so many options to choose from, so remember to take it slow. You don't want to blow your bankroll on the season’s third day.

Here is my favorite same-game parlay bets for Clippers vs. Lakers.

NBA Same Game Parlay Picks & Predictions for Thursday: Clippers vs. Lakers

Los Angeles Clippers at Los Angeles Lakers

  • Leg 1: Anthony Davis OVER 9.5 rebounds (+105)
  • Leg 2: Paul George 3+ three-pointers made (-125)
  • Leg 3: Ivica Zubac OVER 8.5 rebounds (-125)

To put this game projection simply, there will be a lot of shots taken, and many shots will be missed. LeBron James said himself – this Lakers team is not exactly full of shooters. After going 10-40 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, I imagine the Lakers' shooting woes will continue, meaning there will be plenty of rebounds to gobble up.

That said, I see Paul George taking on most of the usage with Kawhi Leonard coming back. Last year, George averaged 8.3 three-pointers attempted per game, the most he's attempted since the 2018-19 season. I expect that trend to continue and trust his shooting enough to sink more than three.

It may not seem like the best move to take two opposing players' rebounding, but we saw a total of 95 rebounds in the Lakers’ season opener. I am quite comfortable with the idea of Davis and Zubac both going over their expected totals.
