It’s good to be back! That Thanksgiving Day break was good for the soul, but definitely not the waistline … #FAT! Speaking of fat, we’re going to be making our POCKETS fat with our NBA parlay picks today, because I slapped together a +417 parlay, and we’re cashin’ tonight! We’re rolling with picks from Magic-Celtics, Kings-Timberwolves and a prop for Scottie Barnes. Below, also please take note of our Black Friday only sale going on for OddsShopper Premium!
NBA Parlay Picks Today: +417 Parlay Friday
Celtics Moneyline (NBA Pick)
We’re getting in on the early Magic-Celtics game here, but we’re not going to be messing around with the spread. This feels like it could get weird with it being a day game. Early game, coming off a holiday … I’d rather just pick a winner.
We know the Celtics are one of the best teams in the NBA, and probably the best team — outside maybe the 76ers — in the Eastern Conference. They’re 6-3 on the road, and according to the OddsShopper simulator, should win this matchup about 67% of the time.
Today, the Celtics have listed Jrue Holiday as probable and Jaylen Brown as questionable. Even if Brown does take the day off, it feels like a spot the Celtics should win due to the fire power they have outside of him.
Like I said, we’re not tinkering with the spread here. Fire up the Celtics moneyline for Leg 1 of our NBA parlay today.
Scottie Barnes o5.5 Rebounds (NBA Player Prop)
This is the best rebounding year of Scottie Barnes‘ three-year career, snatching just a shade over 9 boards a game so far this season. The man has been a MONSTER cleaning the glass, and we’re going to keep taking advantage of some of the value the books are giving us.
I lowered this rebound prop down on an alternate total because we have a DraftKings boost to use on a parlay today, so we can tilt things a bit more in our favor.
Barnes goes up against a Bulls team that is like me after a parlay loss by 1 point — in shambles. In his last six games against the Bulls dating back to Feb. 2, 2022, Barnes has cashed the over on 5.5 rebounds in every game. Moreover, he’s gone over 5.5 in five of his last six games as well.
He should be highly involved again in this game against the Bulls.
Rudy Gobert Double-Double (NBA Player Prop)
I never thought I’d find myself betting as many Rudy Gobert props as I have this season, but they’ve been turning a profit for your boy.
It used to be a question of whether or not Gobert would even get enough shot attempts to come close to 10 points back in the day, but the fella is getting his looks this year — mostly thanks to Anthony Edwards.
Gobert is averaging 12 points per game this season, and over 11 rebounds. He’s been a double-double machine this year obviously, and the books are still giving us a bit of value on these lines.
Historically against the Kings, Gobert has owned the boards, and has gone for 14 or more rebounds in his last EIGHT games against them — and that includes a pair of games with 16, and a pair of games with 20. If you wanted to get REALLY spicy, you could play an alternate rebound total for Gobert and juice this up even more.
But, for me, I’m going with a double-double for the big fella.
Timberwolves ML
The Wolves have just been flat out awesome this season. I admit, I was wrong about them and my expectations for them heading into this year.
With that said, let’s ride with the boys from Minnesota. They get a home game against the Kings tonight, and it should be a great matchup watching Edwards and De’Aaron Fox go at it.
Ultimately, I think the Wolves come out with the win, and we’re adding them as the final leg of our 4-leg NBA parlay today.
