Best NBA Picks & Parlays Today: Cade Cunningham Player Props & Betting Picks That PAY OFF BIG

It is the start of another week in the NBA, and all eyes are on the hardwood now that the NFL season has concluded and MLB does not appear close to starting. Tonight’s slate features nine games, but four of them are double-digit spreads, making the task slightly trickier. However, five games have totals over 220 points, so there are still plenty of avenues to take when gearing up for the best NBA picks and parlays today.

This is a perfect opportunity to use Awesemo OddsShopper to make some of the best NBA picks today for parlays. Using this fantastic site can help place smart wagers in an easy-to-use fashion and maximize the ROI on the wagers. It is truly betting made simple since you can find the best bet in 30 seconds or less. Take these NBA betting today, then head to OddsShopper and find your best odds.

NBA Picks and Parlays Today: Player Props & Betting Picks

The first step is finding the brand new Parlay Builder for OddsShopper. It is located on the top banner and is just one click away. This tool is a game changer because the Awesemo data scientists have built the parlay already. The user has the choice of what type of parlay they prefer to chase, and the slate is customizable along with the sportsbook. The parlay is built based on the top ROI bets based on Awesemo simulations and to exceed at least 10 times your initial bet. As a reminder, betting the NBA player props individually is always a smart way to build your bankroll. A 10x parlay is not exactly the most stable return if it is always being bet just as a parlay. Let us find out what the best-projected bets are for Monday and build some NBA parlay picks. This particular parlay was listed at around noon ET on Feb. 14. OddsShopper updates the parlay constantly, so this is a guideline, and all plays will be linked to build the particular parlay.

Parlay Leg 1: Mo Bamba Over 1.5 Blocks

Something that immediately stands out with this wager is the projection of 2.3 blocks and the expected win rate from OddsShopper at 63%. Those are large numbers for a wager on blocks, but Mo Bamba of the Orlando Magic is averaging 1.9 blocks per game and has to contain Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets in the paint. Jokic is still second in points scored via post-up and attempts 3.5 field goals per game, also second. Bamba’s minutes are always a little volatile, but trying to limit Jokic is a significant task for any team. This is not to say Jokic will have a poor game, but there will be chances to go around for Bamba, and he is seventh in the league in blocks per game. When he has this style of matchup and the ROI is +120, it is too good of a spot to pass on for the NBA parlay.

Parlay Leg 2: De’Aaron Fox Over 5.5 Assists

This will mark the second straight Sacramento Kings game where De’Aaron Fox has been a target for dishing out six assists, even though he had just four in his last game. Fox has now played two games with Domantas Sabonis after he arrived from the Indiana Pacers, and Fox has logged 58 minutes with Sabonis. In those 58 minutes, his assist rate has been 9.8% compared to 23.6% on the season. On top of that, Fox has averaged 61.5 passes made and 11 potential assists per game in the two contests with Sabonis, which is a long way of saying he is overdue to have this assist prop break his way. The Brooklyn Nets have been about the worst team in the league the past few weeks due to injuries and other factors, and they are bleeding points. Since the calendar turned to February, the Nets sport a defensive rating of 122.6. For context, the Rockets are 30th on the season, at 115.7. It is the perfect environment for Fox to break through, and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 60% for a wager that has an ROI of +115.

Parlay Leg 3: Cade Cunningham Over 1.5 3-Pointers

Cade Cunningham can be volatile to wager on, as the Detroit Pistons are always at blowout risk and his minutes can be trimmed in that scenario. However, a matchup against this version of the Washington Wizards should not be a blowout, and the spread is only 4 points, reinforcing the idea that Cunningham should get his full allotment of minutes. Cunningham’s 3-point percentage looks very average at just 33%, but he had such a terrible start to his career from that distance that his numbers are still skewed. Since the start of December, Cunningham is shooting 37.5% from the 3-point range, and that is far more encouraging. Additionally, Washington is in the bottom 12 in 3-point field goal percentage allowed this year (35.4%), and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 62% tonight for Cunningham.

Parlay Leg 4: Andrew Wiggins Over 15.5 Points

It was encouraging to see Andrew Wiggins score 19 points in a win for the Golden State Warriors even when Klay Thompson scored over 30 points and Stephen Curry scored 24. This wager will close out the NBA parlay, and the Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives a return of +1626. On the season Wiggins is averaging 18 points on the nose, and the game against the Los Angeles Clippers is a 5.5-point spread, so a close game is expected. The Clippers are just average in points allowed in the paint (13th), and Wiggins has taken 26.7% of his field-goal attempts from within five feet of the basket. Since Wiggins is also shooting over 41% from a 3-point range, he has a great opportunity in front of him. Wiggins is also shooting over 70% on the attempts within five feet, and OddsShopper has a 58% expected win rate on this wager.
