NBA Big $$$ Parlay Picks Friday 4/15/22

The final two playoff spots in each conference are up for grabs tonight in the NBA as the Cleveland Cavaliers host the Atlanta Hawks and the New Orleans Pelicans look to upset the Los Angeles Clippers. Both games should be close as the spreads are under five points in each game and that leaves plenty of routes to make picks for a small NBA parlay this evening.

Wednesday is a perfect opportunity to use Awesemo OddsShopper to build some of the best NBA picks and parlays today. Using this fantastic site can help place smart wagers in an easy-to-use fashion and maximize the ROI on the wagers. It is truly betting made simple since you can find the best bet in 30 seconds or less. Take these NBA betting today, then head to OddsShopper and find your best odds.

Best NBA Picks and Parlays Tonight

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. Sunday’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.

Darius Garland Over 8.5 Assists

Darius Garland may have only had five assists against the Brooklyn Nets in the first play-in game, but that does not tell the story about how he passed the ball. Garland was on the floor for 39 minutes and he should see a similar workload tonight. In those minutes, he had 12 potential assists. There were multiple plays where he made a pass for an easy bucket and his teammates were not expecting the ball and fumbled it away. The 12 potential assists were actually lower than his seasonal average of 15.6 and he averaged right at 8.6 assists through the year. It is not going to hurt that Atlanta was one of the worst defensive teams in the league either with their defensive rating that ranked in the bottom five. This game has the higher total at 223 points and with Garland getting an extra workload compared to the regular season, the 65% expected win rate from OddsShopper is appealing.

Jonas Valanciunas Over 2.5 Assists

This wager has been a favorite coming down the stretch in the regular season and it paid off again when Jonas Valanciunas had three assists in the New Orleans victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Valanciunas only had four potential assists in that game, but it goes deeper than that because he made 47 passes. That is more than Brandon Ingram and only five behind C.J. McCollum for the team lead. Valanciunas played 36 minutes against the Spurs and even though the Clippers have the ability to run smaller lineups, Valanciunas can keep up as far as running the floor and he is talented enough offensively to punish a team on the interior for going small. The Clippers likely have to keep Ivica Zubac and Isaiah Hartenstein on the floor through a large chunk of this game. The ROI is +114 tonight and the expected win rate from OddsShopper is 61%, which is a strong mix to make a pick. If Valanciunas is flirting with 50 passes made again, it has a great chance of hitting and the two picks would net a return of +301 according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator.
