Well, the Celtics decided they wanted to bone our Monday NBA parlay picks, so we couldn’t cash that +552 ticket. We were ALL OVER the player props, just couldn’t get the game line picks. Our NBA parlay picks today come from the Suns-Lakers In-Season Tournament game, and we’re doing some frisky stuff over at Bet365. Let’s run to the window and get a cash tonight.
NBA Suns-Lakers Same-Game Parlay Picks Today (+425 Odds)
Kevin Durant o23.5 Points (NBA Player Prop)
If I asked you the last time Kevin Durant scored less than 24 points in game, would you say opening night against the Warriors? Well, if you wanted to be right, that’s what you’d have to say.
Yes, it’s been 17 straight games of scoring 24 or more points for Durant. Obviously, this dude is a stone-cold killer, we already knew that.
The Suns offense all centers around Durant and Devin Booker, as well it should. Durant is averaging over 36 minutes per game, and the second-most shots per game in his career (20.6).
In his one game against the Lakers earlier this season, Durant almost dropped a 40-burger, but that was sans Booker. This should be a near lock, so I’m firing it up for Leg 1 of our parlay.
Devin Booker o40.5 PRA (NBA Player Prop)
As I mentioned before, the Phoenix offense is basically just Booker and Durant, especially with Bradley Beal being out. Eric Gordon might not play in this one as well, so it could mean even more shots for both Booker and KD.
Booker has become the de facto point guard for the Suns, which has me wondering why this points + rebounds + assists line is only sitting at 40.5?!?
Honestly, I don’t care, because I’ve already hammered this as a single bet, and love it as part of our parlay.
The OddsShopper Prop Tool has this as a solid +EV bet, and an expected win percentage of just about 54%.
LeBron James 5+ Rebounds (NBA Player Prop)
We’re using some alternate lines here, and this is one I really like — LeBron James 5+ rebounds.
LeBron has hit the 5+ rebound mark in 11 of his last 13 games. The two he didn’t? He had 4 in a game against Houston last time out, and the other was an absolute outlier dud where he recorded as many rebounds as ME against the 76ers when they got WAXED.
We know he loves to show up in big primetime games like these, especially when it’s against someone like Kevin Durant.
I think we can fire up the 5+ rebound with great confidence here and move along.
Anthony Davis o19.5 Points & 10+ Rebounds (NBA Player Prop)
This is more like the Anthony Davis we’ve all been wanting for years. Just dominating teams — and staying healthy. Knock on wood.
His last eight games have been great, averaging almost 22 points and almost 13.5 rebounds. So, let’s fire up the OVER 19.5 points and 10+ rebounds here for him.
The books have Davis’ points prop set at 25.5 tonight, and the OddsShopper Prop Tool has him hitting the over on 25.5 almost 50% of the time. But, we’re not looking for 26 points, we’re looking for 20.
Davis has hit 20+ points in six of those last eight games, and has gone for 10+ rebounds in all of them.
Austin Reaves o8.5 Points (NBA Player Prop)
While Austin Reaves might not quite be HIM like he was during last year’s postseason, he’s still a solid contributor for the Lakers.
One of the biggest reasons I feel comfortable putting Reaves in this parlay is that I believe his minutes will see an increase tonight with it being a “playoff atmosphere.”
So, instead of the 26-28, I think we could see him get upwards of about 32-34 minutes, which gives him more opportunities.
We’re looking for 9 points, which Reaves has cashed in seven of his last eight games, and he’s averaging 13.7 points per game.
Let’s cash this final leg, and get ourselves a parlay win tonight, friends.
