Bettors looking for an NBA same-game parlay for tonight’s 76ers-Bulls game must look no further — FanDuel has left too much value on the board, especially for Joel Embiid and Nikola Vucevic.

Best 76ers-Bulls NBA Same-Game Parlay | March 22
Joel Embiid 1+ 3-Pointer: -155
Let’s start with the least likely leg. Joel Embiid is averaging 1.1 3-pointers per game this year and 0.8 since the All-Star Break. However, he is averaging 1.7 3-pointers per game against Chicago’s center, Nikola Vucevic, across a 16-game sample. Embiid has sunk at least one triple in 13 of their 16 meetings (81.3%).
Joel Embiid 6+ Rebounds: -4000
This line isn’t even available via the same-game parlay feature at DraftKings because of how safe it is. Embiid is averaging 10.3 rebounds per game this year and 11.3 per game against Vucevic. He is yet to stay under this number against Vucevic and has cleared it in 55 of his 58 appearances this year (94.8%).
Nikola Vucevic 1+ 3-Pointer: -410
The rest of this parlay hinges on Vucevic. The center has averaged 1.8 3-pointers per game against Embiid throughout his career and has made at least one in all but three of their meetings, two of which came in 2017 or earlier. Vucevic just shot 1-for-2 from the perimeter against the 76ers on Monday.
Nikola Vucevic 2+ Assists: -460
This play is the third riskiest leg of our same-game parlay. Vucevic is averaging 3.3 assists per game this year but rarely misses this number. He has dished out at least two assists in 58 of his 71 appearances (81.7%), which is right around the implied odds for this line. Vucevic has also dished out at least two assists in all but one of his starts against Embiid.
Nikola Vucevic 10+ Points: -1100
Unlike the above two, our final two plays on Vucevic carry much less risk. The center is averaging 18.4 points per game against Embiid and has gone over this number in all but two of their meetings. There is also some positive correlation with his 3-pointer prop. Vucevic is averaging 17.8 points per game for the Bulls this year and has scored in double-figures in 67 of his 71 starts (94.3%).
Nikola Vucevic 6+ Rebounds: -2300
Like the Embiid rebounding prop, this one is too likely for DraftKings to offer it. Vucevic is averaging 11.3 rebounds per game this year and 11.1 rebounds per game against Embiid. He has gone over this number in all but one of their meetings, a blowout loss in 2018 in which he played only 22 minutes.
