Best NBA Picks and Parlays Today

The first step is locating the new Parlay Builder tab on the OddsShopper home page, which is very simple to do. After that, the user can customize to their heart’s content. OddsShopper offers the parlay bets by state, sportsbooks, and a variety of parlays. This article will be featuring the Prop Party Parlay, which gives up to five player prop bets that will give you the best chance to win based on our Awesemo simulations. The prop party is the most popular betting combo within the Awesemo community and Alex “Awesemo” Baker – the world’s No. 1 daily fantasy player — uses these almost exclusively when he is looking for an edge. It is always a smart idea to bet each wager as a solo piece as a way to build the bankroll. Parlays by their nature are harder to hit, which is why the reward is so large. Saturday’s version of the Prop Party features four wagers as of 11:30 a.m. on the DraftKings Sportsbook, so be sure to check OddsShopper for any updates when building any NBA parlay. 

Dejounte Murray Over 7.5 Rebounds 

Is the ROI anything spectacular on this wager? Not exactly, as -120 is nothing special. But, Dejonte Murray carries a 62% expected win rate from OddsShopper and the 237-point total certainly stands out. Murray is averaging 8.4 rebounds on the season with 13.9 chances per game. This game features a matchup between two teams that are in the top four in pace and Murray does a lot of his work within 6 feet of the basket. Also, 5.3 of his rebounds per game come within that zone and Charlotte is 29th in rebounds allowed in the paint. The pace and total in this game are both just too much to ignore to not take Murray and his NBA player prop for rebounds that is under his seasonal average. 

Drew Eubanks Over 9.5 Points 

The sample size is small with Drew Eubanks as a member of the Portland Trail Blazers with just three games under his belt. However, he’s averaging 9.3 points per game and has only played 22.3 minutes per night. He faces the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight, who just happen to rank 21st in points allowed in the paint this season. In the three games for Eubanks in Portland, he’s averaging 6.3 points per game in the paint and the Trail Blazers are missing so many players tonight. Technically, there are 10 players listed on their roster designated as “out” tonight and Eubanks should push for 28-30 minutes against Karl-Anthony Towns on the Minnesota side of things. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 64% with a projection of 11.6 points scored. 

Gabe Vincent Over 10.5 Points 

As of this writing, the Miami Heat have a lot of questionable players listed including Jimmy Butler, Caleb Martin, Max Strus and P.J. Tucker. What is known is that Kyle Lowry is still out of the lineup and that means Gabe Vincent is in line for a lot of minutes when the Heat take on the Philadelphia 76ers. Lowry has missed the past three games and Vincent has logged 33, 32, and 33 minutes in those contests. Additionally, he has scored 20, 21 and five points in those games and it’s easy to see the aberration in that pattern. When he scored just five points against the Nets, Vincent shot just 2-for-9 from the field and that included 0-for-5 from 3-point distance. That is highly unlikely to repeat as he’s shooting 37.4% on the season and he went 9-for-19 in the previous two games. This is a great bounce-back spot for Vincent and OddsShopper agrees with a 56% expected win rate.

Klay Thompson Over 17.5 Points 

The national game of the night on ABC is the Golden State Warriors facing the Los Angeles Lakers, and both of these teams are reeling. They haven’t been winning much lately and Klay Thompson is coming off a game where he shot 6-for-17 from the field. That’s unlike him and Thompson has averaged 17.1 points per game during his comeback this year. The Lakers are a disaster defensively without Anthony Davis with a 118.1 defensive rating and that would easily be the worst in the league if had been that way all year. It would be really fun if Thompson replicated his first game against these Lakers when he scored a season-high 33 points but even 18 is going to get the job done here. Both teams are in the top 16 in pace this season so the total of 229.5 makes sense, as does the 56% expected win rate from OddsShopper. These four picks for the NBA parlay give a +1089 return according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator and Thompson could be the late-night hammer to grow the bankroll.
