Longshot NBA Parlay Picks & Player Props Today

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. Though it is rare, underdogs eventually have their day, and when they do, the payouts are oh so nice. Here are our best bets for underdogs if you like to fade the favs and cheer for the upset at high odds. As a reminder, betting the props individually is always a smart way to build your bankroll. An underdog 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 Tuesday and build some NBA parlay picks.

Chris Paul Under 9.5 Assists

The expected win rate for this wager is 71% from OddsShopper, and betting an under for Chris Paul’s assists has not always worked out this season. He leads the league in assists per game (10.1) and potential assists per game (18.7_. However, Paul has played a lot of minutes lately outside of the past two games. Devin Booker missed time for the Phoenix Suns, so more was on Paul’s shoulders. It might surprise some people, but the Suns are 7.5-point road favorites over the Los Angeles Lakers tonight. That could lead to less time on the court for Paul, and even if it does not, the Lakers are 10th in defensive rating. This bet is an underdog for a reason, but Paul could always have a big scoring night with Anthony Davis being out for the Lakers, making it even easier for Paul to rack up points with his mid-range game and not dishing the ball to his teammates.

Killian Hayes Under 7.5 Points

Not only does Killian Hayes average just 6.4 points per game for the Detroit Pistons, but he is also shooting just 34% from the floor. The Pistons are still missing both Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk, and with those two off the floor Hayes has a 15.4% usage rate. That is 10th on the team in 149-minute sample size, and the opposing New York Knicks are 26th in pace. No game on the NBA slate has a lower total, and OddsShopper has a 71% expected win rate to match the highest in the four-leg parlay.

Herbert Jones Under 8.5 Points

The New Orleans Pelicans (knock on wood) have been one of the only teams not bothered by COVID-19 protocols in the last 14 days, so they have their regular lineup intact. While Herbert Jones is capable of scoring in bunches, he is also easily last in usage (12.7%) among the six players that have played the most minutes for the Pelicans this year. Both the Pelicans and the Portland Trail Blazers are 25th or worse in defensive rating. That means that the star players in Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas should carry the scoring load for New Orleans, and OddsShopper has a 58% expected win rate.

Jalen Brunson Under 7.5 Assists

The Dallas Mavericks find themselves short-handed tonight when they take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. Luka Doncic and Maxi Kleber have been ruled out, along with Reggie Bullock. Kristaps Porzingis could be out as well, as he left the last game early with a foot injury after playing just 23 minutes. That will mean that Jalen Brunson and Tim Hardaway Jr. will have to pick up a lot of the scoring slack, and if Brunson is more aggressive in finding his shot, that means fewer opportunities to dish assists. Minnesota is fifth in pace, so the scoring potential is extremely high for Brunson, and OddsShopper has the under at an expected win rate of 67%. The return for the four-leg parlay would be around +1708 according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator, and that is huge for an underdog parlay.
