Parlay betting can provide an exciting chance to increase your earnings by placing wagers on multiple games with a single bet. The key to this strategy is to identify bets with positive expected value (EV) that can result in long-term profits. A positive return on investment (ROI) is the primary measure used to assess the value of each bet.

Best NBA Parlay: Eytan’s Picks | FanDuel
Klay Thompson Under 28.5 Points + Assists + Rebounds
This may seem like an odd bet to make, as Thompson is known for his scoring prowess, but there are good reasons to take this under. Firstly, OddsShopper has identified a market discrepancy, with some sportsbooks setting the line at under 26.5. That gives bettors an edge with the under on 28.5. Additionally, Thompson is coming off an injury and has played limited minutes in recent games. In his last two games, he has only played 19 and 22 minutes, making it unlikely that he will have enough time on the court to rack up significant stats.
Furthermore, with the Warriors being a well-balanced team, there are plenty of other players who can step up and contribute offensively. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are obviously capable of taking over a game, so it is not necessary for Thompson to put up big numbers for the Warriors to win. All of these factors make the under 28.5 line a solid pick for this parlay.
Kelly Olynyk Under 4.5 Assists
Olynyk is primarily a scoring and rebounding big man, not a playmaker. He has only averaged 2.2 assists per game over his career, so the line of 4.5 is already a bit high for him. Furthermore, with the absence of fellow big man Lauri Markkanen, Olynyk will likely have an increased role in scoring and rebounding. This means that he will likely be focused on shooting rather than distributing the ball to his teammates. All of these factors make the under 4.5 line a solid pick for this parlay.
Houston Rockets +8.5 First Half vs. Memphis Grizzlies
The Rockets have been one of the worst teams in the league this season, but there are reasons to believe that they can keep the game close in the first half. Houston has been playing better recently and have been competitive in losing efforts, losing by 10 or less in four of their last five losses.
Plus, looking at first quarter and first half spreads and totals are great opportunities to find market value. By including this bet, we have three legs that are beating the market and thus make for a good parlay.
