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 Caesars Sportsbook, so be sure to check OddsShopper for any updates when building any NBA parlay.
Andre Drummond Over 1.5 Assists
Assists are not typically the first stat that comes to mind when the subject is Andre Drummond but he only needs two tonight for the Brooklyn Nets. They take on the Milwaukee Bucks in the national TV game of the evening and Drummond has now played four games with the Nets after being traded from the Philadelphia 76ers. In those four games, he’s only played around 21 minutes per game but some of that has been sitting out the fourth quarter in blowout situations. Drummond has still made 23 passes per game and has averaged three potential assists per game. The largest difference is this will be the first time Drummond has played with Kyrie Irving since the trade and Irving’s scoring ability can help Drummond reach two or more assists. This is one of the three games that has a sky-high total of 237.5 points and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 74%.
Scottie Barnes Over 2.5 Assists
The Toronto Raptors were greeted very rudely out of the All-Star Break last night as they got scorched by the Charlotte Hornets but it’s a new day. Scottie Barnes and the Raptors take on the Atlanta Hawks tonight and Atlanta remains in the bottom five of the league in defensive rating this season. Barnes played 32 minutes last night even in the blowout scenario and Toronto is missing OG Anunoby, who is out with a broken finger. Barnes only had one assist last night but he’s averaging 3.3 per game throughout the season. On top of that, he had six potential assists in last night’s game but the Raptors shot 44% from the field and 26.1% from a 3-point range. That hurt the assists for Barnes but facing another poor defense tonight should help catapult him to three or more. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 59% but the ROI of -105 is really worth chasing for a number that is right at a seasonal average.
Update – Both Pascal Siakam and Fred VanVleet are questionable for the Raptors and that means the prop for Barnes may not come back before the game tips off or it may change dramatically. As an alternative, consider Trae Young Over 26.5 points as OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 59% for him. The Raptors are in the bottom 12 in both frequency allowed and field goal percentage allowed from a 3-point distance this season. Young shoots 37.9% from a 3-point distance on the season and he’s also driving to the basket 17.4 times per game. Toronto is also in the bottom 12 in points allowed in the paint so Young should be able to score plenty of points tonight and averages 27.6 points per game as it is.
Nikola Jokić Over 8.5 Assists
OddsShopper has a 55% expected win rate for Nikola Jokić tonight and he’s always a strong addition to any NBA parlay. His assist numbers have been interesting this season. They have taken a small dip this year to 7.9 per game compared to 8.3 last year but his potential assists are almost identical. This year saw a dip of 0.3 per game to 13.5 but Jokic is still leading the league in passes made per game in what could be another MVP campaign. His Nuggets face the Sacramento Kings for the second straight game and this is a spot where the questionable supporting cast for Jokic can come through. He’s been missing Jamal Murray all season and Michael Porter Jr. for almost all of it, leaving Jokic with less talent around him. However, Sacramento ranks 29th in defensive rating and eighth in pace on the season. With the Nuggets only ranking 21st in pace, the Kings can make them play a little faster and their poor defense allows for Jokic to hit the over for his assist prop tonight.

Ja Morant Over 6.5 Assists
Tonight’s NBA parlay is all about sharing the ball with yet another assist prop and the Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives a return of +1142 for these four legs. Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies take on the Chicago Bulls in a game that has a 237.5 total and a spread of only 1.5 points so major fireworks are expected. Both teams are fighting for top seeds in their respective conferences and it’s easy to argue that this could be the best game of the night from a quality standpoint. For Memphis, they are still missing Dillon Brooks and the is important when considering any wager for Morant. When Brooks has been off the floor, Morant has his usage rate bump up to 34.2% and his assist rate is 33.7%. He’s already averaging 6.8 assists per game and the environment is elite with the Bulls ranking 20th in defensive rating. It’s hurt them that they have missed Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso from their perimeter defense for big chunks of the year and that’s still the case tonight. Morant is averaging 13 potential assists per game and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 55% for him tonight.
