What a crushing way to lose our NBA parlay last night — Mikal Bridges getting 4 PRA in his last 90 seconds on the floor to go over 31.5. Just a dagger to our hearts. I stand by it being the right play, we just got a poor runout. It happens. We’re going to fire up 3 NBA parlay picks today at FanDuel, and enter the weekend with a +555 parlay win tonight. I can feel it.
NBA Parlay Picks Today: +555 Parlay Friday
Jordan Clarkson 20+ Points (NBA Player Prop)
We kick off our Friday NBA parlay with Jordan Clarkson, and we’re looking for a 20-piece from him.
Clarkson has gone for 20 or more points in 5 of his last 7 games, and that includes games with 30, 26 and 33 in his last 3 games.
If there’s one thing Clarkson is not scared of, it’s jacking it up, and he hasn’t been shy at all about it lately. Our guy has taken 61 shots over his last 3 games, so he’s been looking to score the rock.
We know the Jazz play up in pace, so that generally means more possessions and more shots. The Suns are right at league-average in defensive rating, and we’re sitting at a 237.5 total here with the Jazz being 5.5-point dogs. If they’re going to keep it close, it’ll be with Clarkson and Lauri Markkanen scoring the ball. Let’s go, boys.
Jusuf Nurkic o9.5 Rebounds (NBA Player Prop)
We like the Jazz players to be looking to chuck, so we should like the idea of someone having to rebound the ball with all those shots being hoisted up. That’s why we like Jusuf Nurkic for over 9.5 rebounds tonight.
The frontline of the Jazz looks a little different on the boards without Walker Kessler in there. So, it’s mainly been Markkanen and John Collins. And, if we’re at dudes that could slow down and move the big-bodied Nurkic out of the way for boards, they ain’t it.
The Jazz just allowed the corpse of Bismack Biyombo to grab like 15 rebounds a few nights ago. It feels like a good spot for Nurkic to be able to gobble up some boards, especially with the Jazz looking to get shots up.
Dejounte Murray o28.5 PRA (NBA Player Prop)
I’ll admit it. I love Dejounte Murray as a player, and always have, so you’ve probably noticed I enjoy betting his player props.
But, this isn’t just me going with a man crush. The OddsShopper Prop Tool agrees that the OVER on Murray’s 28.5 PRA is a #GoodBet. The projections have Murray hitting the over on 28.5 PRA 55% of the time, and I think we’re getting pretty solid value here as well.
If we look at shooting guard averages against the 76ers this season, Philly is giving up over 21 points, 5 rebounds and just under 5 assists per game. We know the offense flows through Trae Young and Murray for Atlanta, and they’re playing at the third-fastest pace in the league.
I assume Tyrese Maxey will draw the assignment of guarding Trae, so Murray could be freed up to cook a little more. Let’s rock with it.
