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 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’s find out what the best-projected NBA player prop bets are for Thursday and build some NBA parlay picks. OddsShopper updates the parlay constantly, so this is a guideline, and all plays will be linked to build the particular parlay.

Russell Westbrook Over 6.5 Rebounds

It has not been very often that Russell Westbrook has been a target this season but he has an expected win rate of 70% tonight with a projection of 8.1 rebounds. The Los Angeles Lakers face the Los Angeles Clippers and desperate might not be a strong enough adjective for the Lakers. They have lost their first three games coming out of the All-Star Break and are now just 1.5 games ahead of the New Orleans Pelicans for the 10th seed in the Western Conference. Westbrook played 38 minutes in this past game and despite his flaws this season, he is still one of the best options on the Lakers. Westbrook is averaging 7.7 rebounds per game this season while the Clippers are 19th in rebounding overall and 24th in rebounds allowed in the paint. Westbrook is also averaging four rebounds per game within six feet of the basket, so this is a great spot for him to grab at least seven boards.

Dejounte Murray Over 9.5 Assists

This is a large number for Dejounte Murray but as mentioned earlier, the 241-point total makes this one worth chasing. Both the Kings and Spurs reside in the top eight in pace this season, which is one of the reasons the total is so high. Another reason is the Kings are in the bottom five in defensive rating while San Antonio is 19th. The game should go back and forth, while Murray also has had added responsibility in the offense since the trade of Derrick White to the Boston Celtics. He has had an assist rate of over 44% since that trade and has had a massive 20.3 potential assists per game, trailing only James Harden in that span. While 10 or more assists sounds like a ton, Murray is averaging 11.3 in the past six games and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 63% for him.

Jayson Tatum Over 29.5 Points

The Boston Celtics are taking on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight and Jaylen Brown has already been ruled out for this game, leaving Jayson Tatum as the main scoring option for Boston tonight. When Brown has been off the floor this season, Tatum has a usage rate over 35%, and in this past game took 25 shot attempts. He also got to the free throw line seven times and the expectation for tonight should not be that much different. Granted, the Grizzlies are eighth in defensive rating and that is not typically ideal, but the lack of Brown and a reliable secondary threat leaves Tatum to shoot as many times as he wants tonight. Even on a sub-par night, 25 attempts and five or more free throw attempts should get him to 30 points or higher. OddsShopper agrees with a 56% expected win rate.

Klay Thompson Over 2.5 3-Pointers

Any time there is a wager available for plus money (the ROI is +100) for Klay Thompson to hit three 3-point shots, it almost feels like a must. Thompson has missed the past couple of games with an illness for the Golden State Warriors but has seen up to 30 minutes of playing time on his way back from multiple injuries. Thompson is also finding his stroke from a 3-point distance because since Feb. 1 he is shooting 45.6% in seven games. That is high even for Thompson but it is closer to expectations than his seasonal rate of 38.5%. This is not an amazing statistical spot, as the Dallas Mavericks have allowed the third-lowest field goal percentage from a 3-point distance. However, Thompson is one of the most lethal shooters in the modern NBA with a career 41.8% mark and has an expected win rate of 56% from OddsShopper. The four-leg NBA parlay would net a return of +1189 according to the Awesemo NBA Parlay Calculator, a great way to build a bankroll.
