Saturday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets

(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)

Brooklyn Nets vs. Indiana Pacers

• Leg 1: Dorian Finney-Smith Over 7.5 Points (-122)
• Leg 2: Nic Claxton Over 11.5 Points (-128)
• Leg 3: Tyrese Haliburton Under 2.5 Threes (-138)

Dorian Finney-Smith has averaged 11.1 points per game in the month. He’s also hit at least eight points in seven of his last ten games. Beyond that, he’s facing an Indiana defense that ranks dead last in points allowed to power forwards. Finney-Smith has also attempted more than six threes per game in the month and nearly nine shots per game. With Indiana’s defense, Finney-Smith should be able to knock down a few shots and hit the Over.

Meanwhile, Nic Claxton has averaged 15 points per game this month. However, his line is sitting at 11.5. We’ll take the Over there too. Claxton has nailed this line in four of his last five games. He’s shooting better than 68% from the field this month and is still getting to the foul line about a couple of times a game.

Finally, we’ll finish with Tyrese Haliburton to go Under 2.5 threes.

Haliburton has shot 19.1% from downtown in the month. He’s also made three three-pointers in only one of his last seven games played. To nail three three-pointers, he attempted ten threes. But he’s taken under seven threes per night recently. Take his Under.

Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers

• Leg 1: Austin Reaves Over 16.5 Points (-104)
  
• Leg 2: LeBron James Under 9.5 Assists (-148)
  
• Leg 3: Jonathan Kuminga Under 5.5 Rebounds (-113)

This is the one game featured on national television. It’s a primetime matchup on ABC between LeBron James and Stephen Curry. It truly doesn’t get any better than that!

Anyway, we’re facing James and don’t have a play on Curry. James has added ten or more assists in just one game in March. He’s also averaged only eight assists per game this season. Now, he’ll go up against a Warriors team that ranks No. 1 in the NBA in limiting assists to small forwards. James has nailed this line in only 30% of his last 20 games.

Still, I expect Austin Reaves to score at a high rate. Reaves has nailed at least 17 points in four consecutive games and is facing a Warriors team that ranks dead last in points allowed to shooting guards this year. Reaves has averaged nearly 20 points per game in the month and is coming off a 7-for-12 performance from downtown in his last game.

We’ll finish off the parlay with Jonathan Kuminga to go Under 5.5 rebounds. He hasn’t hit at least six rebounds in three straight games and is averaging less than five rebounds per game in the month. Meanwhile, the Lakers rank 5th in the NBA in limiting power forwards from earning rebounds.
