There have been a lot of moving parts in the NBA of late, so remember to keep track of new names in new places. It's been a successful season so far, and I'd love to keep it going. With only four games today, I'm going to be providing just two SGP's. Remember to shop around for the best odds.

Thursday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay

All odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

Milwaukee Bucks at Los Angeles Lakers

It may be a bit chalky, but after LeBron James reached the scoring record, and with all the moving parts for the Lakers with the trades going down, I have to imagine this will be a down game for Los Angeles, giving room for Milwaukee to shine.

In this correlated SGP, Milwaukee gets the benefit of a nice pace-up spot, with both teams ranking in the top 10 in pace of play. It already helps that Los Angeles has a bottom-20 defense, and we have continued seeing holes in it over the past few games.

Instinct would have us take Giannis' points over, but I see way more value in leaning Lopez there and trusting Giannis and Holiday to facilitate a bit more. Despite the feeling of chalkiness with this play, I'm still throwing down a single unit on this SGP.

Parlay Odds: +529

Chicago Bulls at Brooklyn Nets

On the other side of chalky, you have 'betting the Nets after some major trades went down.' Despite no Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant, there is still major value to be offered with the holes needed filling in Brooklyn.

Someone who I expect not to slot in right away is Dinwiddie. It can always be challenging coming to a new team, and this would be his first game in a new uniform. I would be surprised to see him score over 20 points right out of the gate, especially considering he's averaged 17.7 all season.

Someone who I am begrudgingly banking on upping his scoring is Simmons. I simply believe 6.5 points to be way too low for his points total in this situation. Yes, he hasn't been scoring much of late, and he has only played in one game this month, but that number should still be higher in the given situation.

For Vucevic, I'm trusting the projections here as the BettingPros Prop Bet Cheat Sheet has given Vuc going under 3.5 assists a +36 percent expected value – one the best plays on the slate. On the road, in a pace-down spot, I'm generally fading Chicago's ability to score and putting one unit on this SGP.

Parlay Odds: +728
