Although the NBA slate includes nine games, I’m eying two for a same-game parlay (SGP). Tail below and let’s try adding some cash to the bankroll over the weekend.

Detroit Pistons vs. Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets haven’t been great defensively this season. Ultimately, against shooting guards, the Nuggets have allowed the most points per game this season.

That is why I’m adding Tim Hardaway Jr. to score at least 10 points tonight. He’s scored at least 15 points in two of his last three games and has attempted at least eight shots in five straight games. Hardaway Jr. will get open looks and should capitalize.

The same could be true for Cade Cunningham. Again, the Nuggets have allowed the 27th-most points to point guards this year. Cunningham has scored at least 28 points in three of his last four games and has attempted 49 field goals in his previous two games.

Meanwhile, hopefully, Jaden Ivey will dish out assists to these two scorers. Ivey has recorded at least four assists in 61% of his games this season. Denver is allowing 5.39 assists per game to shooting guards, which ranks 28th in the NBA.

Look for the Pistons to exploit Denver’s sub-par defense.

Parlay Odds: +485

Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers

Anthony Davis left the last game due to an ankle injury and scored zero points. It’s been four consecutive games for Davis without scoring more than 21 points. However, he’s got a very good matchup against the Kings tonight. The Kings rank 28th in points allowed to power forwards and have allowed a 49.41% field goal percentage to the position. Davis, if healthy, should break out with a monster game. He’s hit this line in 52% of his games this season.

Austin Reaves should be a good secondary option. He’s added at least 18 points in four of his last six games, including 26 on Christmas Day. Meanwhile, he’ll take on a Kings defense ranked 25th in points allowed to shooting guards. Shooting guards have scored more than eight field goals per game this year against the Kings.

Finally, let’s rock with De’Aaron Fox to add at least six assists. He just earned 10 assists against the Warriors and will battle a Lakers team ranked 27th in assists allowed to point guards this season. The Lakers have allowed more than 10 assists per game to point guards this year. Fox only needs six.

Parlay Odds: +523
