Saturday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlays
(Odds courtesy of FanDuelFanDuel Sportsbook)
Detroit Pistons vs. Golden State Warriors
- Leg 1: Brandin Podziemski Under 11.5 Points (-112)
- Leg 2: Cade Cunningham Over 5.5 Rebounds (+114)
- Leg 3: Stephen Curry Over 5.5 Threes (+118)
Let’s start with Brandin Podziemski. He’s recorded at least 12 points in just two of his last five games. He’s also averaged only 5.5 points per game in two previous meetings against the Pistons. Additionally, he’s added at least 12 points in only 40% of games this year. Plus, now he’ll take on a Pistons defense that still ranks 14th in points allowed to shooting guards this season. The Pistons have only allowed shooting guards to hit 28.91% from downtown this season. They’ll likely be able to slow down Podziemski.
Meanwhile, Cade Cunningham has hauled in at least six rebounds in five of his last ten games. He’s also hit this line in 62% of games this year. Tonight, he’ll battle a Warriors team that ranks 21st in the NBA in rebounds allowed to point guards. Cunningham has averaged nearly nine rebound chances per game over the last ten, but he’s earned even more rebound chances per game in his last six games against the Warriors.
Finally, Stephen Curry is chasing history. So he’s going to continue to chuck up threes. He’s actually averaged five threes per game in his last ten. That wouldn’t be enough. He needs six. However, the Pistons rank 25th in the NBA in three-pointers allowed to point guards. Curry will hunt down these shots and likely get some quality looks from downtown.
Parlay Odds: +645
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics
- Leg 1: Derrick White Over 15.5 Points (-114)
- Leg 2: Luka Doncic Under 7.5 Assists (+110)
- Leg 3: Austin Reaves Under 2.5 Threes (-158)
The Celtics have had a bunch of injuries and guys missing time. It looks like the Celtics will be closer to full strength tonight. While that will prevent Derrick White from scoring 40+ points, he’s still got a really good matchup to score at least 16 points. The Lakers still rank 20th in points allowed to shooting guards. Plus, White has scored at least 16 points in 65% of games this season. The Lakers are particularly bad at preventing shooting guards from hitting threes, allowing 3.57 threes per game to shooting guards this season.
Meanwhile, Luka Doncic of the Lakers has added at least eight assists in five of his last ten games. However, he’s only averaged seven assists per game against the Celtics in his previous 11 head-to-head matchups against them (including last year’s playoffs). Ultimately, the Celtics rank third in the NBA in assists allowed to point guards this year. Boston’s defense is easily one of the best in the NBA and will prevent other guys from making shots. Take his Under here.
Hopefully, it’s Austin Reaves who is missing some of the shots. Reaves has added no more than two threes in three straight games. He’s also hit this line in only 48% of games this season and in 40% of games against the Celtics in his career. Ultimately, the Celtics have limited shooting guards to only 3.06 threes per game, which ranks third in the NBA. It’s also been challenging for shooting guards to get three-point shots against the Celtics. Take his under to finish this parlay.
