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 state 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 ten 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 us find out what the best-projected bets are for Thursday and build some NBA parlay picks. This particular parlay was listed at around 11:30 a.m. ET on Dec. 16. OddsShopper updates the parlay constantly, so this is a guideline, and all plays will be linked to build the particular parlay.

Kevin Durant Over 9.5 Rebounds

On a normal night, Kevin Durant averages 11.5 rebound chances and a 67.3% conversion rate. It is not a normal night for the Brooklyn Nets as they face the Philadelphia 76ers because the Nets are short half of their team due to health and safety protocols. James Harden has now missed the past two games and Durant has played over 40 minutes in both. Even if the 48 minutes last game were a slight mirage because of an overtime period, Durant is still looking at 38 to 40 minutes. The 76ers are dead last in rebounding this season, and Durant was already averaging 7.8 per game. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 76%, the highest in the four-leg parlay.

Deandre Ayton Over 10.5 Rebounds

The expected win rate of 63% from OddsShopper is strong for Deandre Ayton, and he came back from missing games with an illness to play 44 minutes. The Phoenix Suns said after the game that was not exactly the plan, but the game went to overtime, and backup center JaVale McGee had foul trouble. Ayton is sixth in the league in rebound chances per game (18.8), and he is averaging 11.2 rebounds per night. The Washington Wizards are out West to face the Suns, and they are 17th in rebounds given up in the paint, while Ayton lives in the paint, leading the league in paint touches with 12.4 per game.

Alec Burks Over 15.5 Points

The New York Knicks are suffering through health and safety protocols and are missing multiple players tonight. Alec Burks should be in line for 36 to 40 minutes tonight, and he took 15 shots last game, only hitting four of them. That was against the best defense in the league in the Golden State Warriors, but tonight the Knicks face the Houston Rockets. They only rank 25th in defensive rating, and they play at the fastest pace in the league. The gap in pace numbers is massive because the Knicks are 26th in the league, so they should be forced to play faster. That gives Burks even more opportunities, and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 65%.

Hamidou Diallo Under 4.5 Rebounds

The Detroit Pistons are without Kelly Olynyk and Jerami Grant tonight, but they were in that situation in the last game. Hamidou Diallo still only played 20 minutes, so his time on the court only changed by about five minutes. Diallo is only averaging three rebounds per game on the season, and the Pistons face the Indiana Pacers, who are 10th in rebounding on the season. The expected win rate from OddsShopper is 56%, but the ROI pushes this parlay over the top because most sportsbooks have it at +100. Combining these four legs gives into an NBA parlay today a return of roughly +1064 according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator, depending on the sportsbook they are placed.
