Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlays
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics
- Leg 1: Andre Drummond Under 9.5 Points (-118)
- Leg 2: Paul George Under 17.5 Points (-128)
- Leg 3: Jayson Tatum Over 8.5 Rebounds (-130)
Andre Drummond has only scored 7.4 points per game this season. Meanwhile, he’s coming off a four-point game against the Timberwolves after playing more than 19 minutes. He’s ultimately added at least 10 points in only three of his last 10 games and has averaged below seven points per game in his previous 20 games. Tonight, he’s also facing the toughest defense against centers. The Celtics rank first in the NBA in points allowed to centers this season. Don’t expect Drummond to have many opportunities.
Paul George hasn’t been healthy this season. He’ll likely be shut down eventually, too. That said, he’s scored at least 18 points in only two of his last 10 games. He’ll also take on a Celtics defense that ranks sixth in the NBA in points allowed to power forwards. Additionally, the Celtics have held power forwards to below 44% from the floor this season.
Finally, let’s hope George and Drummond brick some shots for Jayson Tatum to clean up. He’s added at least 11 rebounds in two consecutive games and has earned at least nine rebounds in 16 out of 22 games against the 76ers dating back to 2011. Plus, the 76ers have allowed nearly 11 rebounds to power forwards per game this season, which ranks 26th in the NBA. Tatum should have a good night on the glass.

New York Knicks vs. Los Angeles Lakers
- Leg 1: Luka Doncic Over 28.5 Points (-104)
- Leg 2: Austin Reaves Over 4.5 Assists (-125)
- Leg 3: Jalen Brunson Under 3.5 Rebounds (-180)
Luka Doncic is finding his rhythm with the Lakers. He’s scored at least 29 points in three consecutive games heading into this one. In addition, he’s had a usage percentage of at least 33.2% in four straight games. Doncic will take on a Knicks team that has already allowed more than 25 points per game to point guards this season. The Knicks also rank 26th in field goal percentage allowed to point guards and have allowed nearly 21 field goal attempts to point guards. Doncic should take advantage.
Hopefully, Austin Reaves can dish out a handful of assists to Doncic. Reaves has totaled at least five assists in six of his last 10 games. He’s also averaged six assists per game and has nailed this line in 70% of games this season. The Knicks currently rank 19th in assists allowed to shooting guards. With Reaves averaging at least 11 potential assists in four of his last five games, he’ll likely be able to stack up more assists against the Knicks.
Lastly, let’s roll with Jalen Brunson to record fewer than four rebounds. He’s added four or more rebounds in only 28% of games this season. He’s also averaged just 3.2 rebounds per game over the last 10 games. In addition, he’s had no more than seven potential rebounds in all but one of his last 10 games. The opportunities likely won’t be there for Brunson to get at least four rebounds.
