There are five games on the NBA slate tonight!
We’ll have way more action tomorrow with the NBA In-Season Tournament taking place. But for now, let’s worry about today.
I’ve added two same-game parlays for the two matchups on NBA TV. You don’t even have to change the channel tonight!
Monday’s Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bets
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Philadelphia 76ers
- Leg 1: D’Anthony Melton Over 13.5 Points (-113)
- Leg 2: Joel Embiid Over 5.5 Assists (-150)
- Leg 3: Anthony Davis Over 2.5 Assists (-140)
D’Anthony Melton is the fourth-leading scorer on the 76ers without Kelly Oubre Jr. Melton has averaged about 30 minutes per game and has attempted at least ten shots in seven straight games. On Saturday, against the Thunder, Melton attempted eight threes and drained three of them, pushing him to 16 points in that game. He’s hit at least 14 points in four of his last five games and has hit this number in six of his previous ten.
Let’s hope Joel Embiid passes Melton the ball on some inside-out plays. Embiid has earned at least six assists in 73% of games this season. He’s also hit this line in seven of his last ten and in four of his previous five. Embiid has averaged 6.3 assists this season but added eight or more assists in three of his previous four games. Embiid hasn’t earned a triple-double yet, but this is a matchup where he could pull it off.
Lastly, Anthony Davis has assisted on 3.4 baskets per game this season. We need three. Davis has hit at least three assists in four straight games. He’s also hit this line in 75% of games this season. Davis won’t rack up the assists and might not even get to four. But he’s consistently hitting that three-assist threshold and has nailed this line in eight of his last ten games. Take his Over to finish off the parlay.
Parlay Odds: +417
Denver Nuggets vs. Los Angeles Clippers
- Leg 1: James Harden Over 4.5 Rebounds (+-128)
- Leg 2: Kawhi Leonard Over 2.5 Assists (-138)
- Leg 3: Paul George Over 2.5 Assists (-170)
I’m riding with the Los Angeles Clippers’ all-stars.
The Clippers have won four of their last five since throwing Russell Westbrook to the bench to start games. That’s working.
Harden has averaged nearly five rebounds per game this season. But he’s hit this line in 70% of his last 20 and in six of his previous 10. Harden isn’t a high-volume scorer anymore. He’s attempted just eight shots or fewer in the previous three games. He’s out there doing the little things to help the Clippers win. That includes rebounding, where he’s added at least five rebounds in three of his last five games.
Meanwhile, Kawhi Leonard has averaged 3.5 assists per game. Tonight, his line is at 2.5. Leonard has hit at least three assists in four straight games. He’s also hit this line in 80% of games this season. Leonard won’t rack up the assists, either. But he typically earns three or four assists per night thanks to averaging over 34 minutes a game.
Finally, Paul George can do the same. George has hit at least three assists in 67% of games this season. He’s also nailed this line in four of his last five games and in seven of his previous ten.
Harden, George, and Leonard will all do some scoring, too. But these other lines are where the value is.
Parlay Odds: +408
