Best NBA Picks & Parlays Tonight: Expert Bets & Player Props for Saturday 3/26/22

There are eight games total for the NBA today and it looks to be another competitive night. Six of those eight games have a spread under seven points and there are two games that have some strong playoff implications. The Cleveland Cavaliers play the Chicago Bulls while the Brooklyn Nets face the Miami Heat. The Eastern Conference standings are incredibly tight with the top four teams all one game apart and seed 5-7 are separated by just one game as well. Those games represent some strong environments to make picks and build an NBA parlay tonight.

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 five wagers as of 12:45 p.m. on the DraftKings Sportsbook, so be sure to check OddsShopper for any updates when building any NBA parlay. 

Kyrie Irving Over 3.5 3-Pointers 

The Nets are looking to build momentum toward a deep playoff run since they are likely going to be the eighth seed for the play-in scenario. Finding their rhythm and playing strong basketball is at the top of the list and Kyrie Irving may only have a 44% expected win rate from OddsShopper but the +120 ROI is extremely appealing. The game tonight is in Miami but Irving is now back to being a full-time player and his 20 games played so far this year is a reminder of how wildly talented he is. Irving is averaging 28.5 points per game and he’s shooting 43.8% from a 3-point distance on almost eight attempts per game. He should flirt with 10 attempts tonight since the Miami Heat allow the highest frequency of 3-point attempts this year (45.6%). That has translated to the fourth-most attempts per game this year and with a talented shooter like Irving, the ROI is well worth chasing despite the slightly lower expected win rate. 

Damian Jones Over 6.5 Rebounds 

The Sacramento Kings play the Orlando Magic tonight and this matchup is the exact opposite of games that matter for the playoffs. However, the game has a total of 224 points and the spread is under three points while both of these teams are in the top eight in pace. There should be plenty of opportunities for Damian Jones to hit the glass in this game. Orlando is just 16th in rebounding overall and 28th in rebounds allowed in the paint. The key is Domantas Sabonis remains out for the Kings and in the last game, Jones played 30 minutes and had 12 rebounding chances. If he plays that many minutes again tonight, it would certainly explain the 65% expected win rate from OddsShopper and it wouldn’t hurt if Wendell Carter Jr. sat out for the Magic. He is currently questionable and that would eliminate 10.4 rebounds per game from the Orlando side. 

O.G. Anunoby Over 13.5 Points 

This number is quite low for O.G. Anunoby as far as his season average of 17.4 points per game for the Toronto Raptors. Anunoby did make his return from a fractured finger in the past game and logged just 26 minutes, 10 fewer than his average. That should be expected to rise in a hurry when the Raptors face the Indiana Pacers because Toronto runs their main players for so many minutes. They need to win as many games as they can because they are currently tied for the sixth seed and a guaranteed playoff series. Anunoby only shot 4-11 in his first game back in a little over a month and since the traded deadline in February, the Pacers are 27th in defensive rating. They made so many big changes to their team at that time that it’s a notable checkpoint in the season and Anunoby should be in line for 30 minutes tonight and the line is set almost four full points under his average. The expected win rate from OddsShopper is 64% and that’s a perfect pick for the NBA parlay.

Tyus Jones Over 6.5 Assists 

This is the third wager out of the parlay that is at a return of at least +102 and Tyus Jones is in line for a large role in the Memphis Grizzlies offense for the next couple of weeks. Ja Morant will be out with a knee injury and Jones is going to take over as the starting point guard. The past three games give a glimpse into his style of game, as he’s racked up 11.3 potential assists and 7.3 assists in 30 minutes per game. He’s cleared this number in two of those three games and he landed on five in the third game despite playing just 25 minutes. The matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks should lead to a highly competitive game and these two teams have been in the top five in pace over the past month. Milwaukee is missing at least Jrue Holiday tonight and could be missing Giannis Antetokounmpo as well since he is questionable Playing this wager at +100 with an expected win rate of 54% is a strong addition to the NBA parlay. 

Nikola Jokic Over 23.5 Points 

The parlay closes with Nikola Jokic who is fighting for his second straight MVP award and the Denver Nuggets are fighting to stay out of the play-in games. Denver is just 5-5 in its last 10 and now leads the Minnesota Timberwolves by just half a game for the sixth seed. It’s time for Jokic to take over and projections have his points at 27.0, a huge gap from the line. The Oklahoma City Thunder represents a must-win game as they are 14th in the Western Conference and there is no way around Denver needing this game badly. Oklahoma City also is a glorious matchup for Jokic as they are 20th in points allowed in the paint and dead last in points per possession defending the post-up. Jokic is scoring almost six points per game in the post-up and the Thunder simply doesn’t have the personnel to defend him in the interior. Jokic himself has a 66% expected win rate and the five picks for the NBA parlay have a return of +3361 from the Awesemo Parlay Calculator.
