Best FREE NBA Same Game Picks & Parlays Today
The first step is finding which sport you are going to wager on, so the banner at the top of the screen has the sports separated. Once you are on the NBA page, it is super simple to customize what you are looking for as far as teams and players on the left-hand side of the page.
Now, if you miss one of the odds highlighted in the article because it changed, do not worry. The lines do not always stay the same as they are updated every two minutes. There will be examples of when you can still wager based on the Awesemo projections. It is also easy to sort the props by what style you want to bet them, meaning that you can choose the highest ROI or the highest expected win rate.
Generally, the best approach is a mix of the highest ROI and expected win rate, and this whole process should take under 30 seconds to filter what you are looking for. The highlighted wagers in the article can also be bet individually, so if the parlay misses by one leg, it is not a total loss. Let us find out what the best-projected bets are for Saturday night and build an NBA same-game parlay tonight.
Julius Randle Over 8.5 Rebounds and Under 21.5 Points
The four-leg parlay kicks off with a Julius Randle double-dip on the over for his rebounds but the under for his points. On the rebounding front, Boston is ninth in the league in rebounding so it is a challenge from that perspective but Randle is up to the task. He’s averaging 10.1 on the season and what’s more, he averages 16.9 rebound chances per game with a conversion rate of 59.8%. Even though the Celtics are ninth in rebounding overall, they’re 21st in rebounds allowed in the paint. Roughly 79% of Randle’s rebounds on the season have come within six feet of the basket, a perfect fit.
As far as the points go, Randle has taken a bit of a step back on the offensive end from last season. That’s not a large surprise after a career year, but Randle is shooting the ball 16.8 times per game this year compared to 18.6 last season. He’s not hitting his shots at the same frequency, down to 42.2% from 45.6% last season and his 3-point shot has gone from 41.1% last year to 32.4% this year. Randle is averaging just 19.6 points per game on the year and Boston has managed to stay in the top 10 in defensive rating at eighth. OddsShopper has expected win rates of 65% for the rebounds and 66% for the points.

Jaylen Brown Over 22.5 Points
The Celtics are starting to get healthier after their team faced some missing players in the health and safety protocols but Jaylen Brown is a talented scorer with a 31% usage rate on the season. He averages 24.2 points per game which are 15th in the NBA and while some of that average was brought up by recent games without Jayson Tatum, the Celtics are at their best when both players are scoring. They’re also set up so both have to score to win games and Brown scored just 16 last game en route to a heartbreaking loss.
The one aspect for Brown to exploit is he leads the league in points per game as a spot-up shooter at 7.4, shooting 43.4% in that play type. New York has allowed the fewest points per game to that play type but they have also faced it the fewest times in the league. The points per possession are actually tied for the ninth-worst, so the defense against that play type is not as stout as it appears on the surface. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 57% on this wager.

Marcus Smart Over 4.5 Assists
Taking all four legs of this parlay would net a return of +976 according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator, given the current odds at Caesars Sportsbook. Marcus Smart isn’t the first player that many would think of when it comes to assists, but he’s close to leading the Celtics at a 22.2% assist rate on the season. He’s in the top 30 in assists per game at 5.5 and he’s leading the Celtics in potential assists per game at 10.8. Realistically, playing 34 minutes a night with Brown and Tatum leads Smart directly into assists and any number under five is well worth adding to the parlay. OddsShopper has a 60% expected win rate and projects Smart for 5.2 assists tonight.
