Suns vs. Nuggets: NBA Same Game Parlay Odds, Picks & Predictions: Christmas Day
- Leg 1: Michael Porter Jr. Over 14.5 Points (-130)
- Leg 2: Bones Hyland Over 9,5 Points (-125)
- Leg 3: Chris Paul Over 3.5 Rebounds (-165)
Michael Porter Jr. has only played in 17 games this year. But he’s a significant contributor when on the floor. He’s averaged 16.5 points per game and has hit 15 points in 71% of games this year.
In his return to action against the Blazers, Porter Jr. played 27 minutes and shot 7-for-13 from the floor, scoring 18 points. His production will only increase, especially from three, where he went just 2-for-6.
I also like Bones Hyland to have a solid game. He’s averaged 13.4 points per game. But now that the Nuggets are almost at full strength, he’ll have less of a roll. Still, he’s a player that will fill the box score when he’s out on the floor. He’s averaged about 16 minutes per game over the last four games but has managed to get up at least nine shots in three. The volume is there for Hyland.
He’s scored ten or more points in 70% of games this season. He’ll reach ten or more points if he takes nearly ten shots per night.
Meanwhile, Chris Paul earned 4.8 rebounds per game in December. He’s only missed four or more rebounds in two games in December. Paul has hit four rebounds in 68% of games this season, and despite playing the Nuggets, if he’s getting 33 minutes per night, I’d expect a rebound or two to fall in his lap every 15 minutes out on the floor.
