Sunday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlays
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Phoenix Suns vs. Dallas Mavericks
- Leg 1: Naji Marshall Under 17.5 Points (-122)
- Leg 2: Kevin Durant Over 3.5 Assists (-162)
- Leg 3: Bradley Beal Over 3.5 Rebounds (-114)
Naji Marshall has been an absolute stud over the last three games. He’s scored at least 18 points in three consecutive matchups and just played about 40 minutes against the Memphis Grizzlies last time out. However, Marshall is facing a Phoenix defense ranked first in the NBA in points allowed to small forwards. The Suns rank third in the NBA in field goals made to small forwards, allowing just 39.89% from the field from small forwards. Marshall doesn’t have an ideal matchup today.
Meanwhile, Kevin Durant has added at least five assists in just five of his last 10 games. Additionally, he’s had at least seven potential assists in four of his previous six games. That said, Dallas ranks 20th in assists allowed to power forwards. It’s also likely Durant plays lots of minutes, especially after he played nearly 46 minutes against the Denver Nuggets last time out.
Finally, consider Bradley Beal to add at least four rebounds. He had just one against the Nuggets and only two against the Clippers in his last two games. However, he’s still hit this line in six of his last 10 games. Beal has also averaged 3.8 rebounds in five head-to-head matchups against the Mavericks. Ultimately, Dallas ranks 28th in rebounds allowed to shooting guards. Beal has averaged more than six rebound chances per game over the last 10. Those opportunities will be there, especially against this Mavericks team.
Parlay Odds: +408
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Milwaukee Bucks
- Leg 1: Darius Garland Over 19.5 Points (-114)
- Leg 2: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 5.5 Assists (-132)
- Leg 3: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 11.5 Rebounds (-125)
Sometimes, it feels like Darius Garland is the forgotten man on the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cleveland point guard has averaged 21 points per game and has nailed at least 20 points in 58% of games this season. Meanwhile, he just scored 20 against the Charlotte Hornets and will now face a Milwaukee defense ranked 30th in the NBA in points allowed to point guards. Garland should get many nice looks in tonight’s game.
Meanwhile, I love Giannis Antetokounmpo to beef up his box score stats. He’s added at least six assists in 53% of games this season. He’s also hit this assist line in six of his last 10 games and three of his previous five matchups. Ultimately, he’s failed to hit this line in two straight. However, he’s facing a Cleveland defense ranked 24th in assists allowed to power forwards. Over the last five games, Antetokounmpo has had at least 10 potential assists in three of them.
In addition, the Cavaliers also rank 27th in rebounds allowed to power forwards. With Antetokounmpo averaging 15 rebound chances per game over the last 10, he’ll likely get plenty of chances to haul in rebounds tonight. The Cavaliers currently rank 26th in combined rebounds + assists allowed to power forwards. Don’t be shocked if Antetokounmpo flirts with a triple-double.
