Well, I woke up hungry after having a fancy three-course dinner of ice chips last night thanks to Tyrese Maxey selling on our NBA parlay picks. We were ALL OVER that game, Maxey just couldn’t hit a 3-pointer to save his life or make a layup or two late. Tough break. I ain’t deterred because I cooked up even more NBA picks and parlays for today. And this a big one. Please, for the love of god, let’s hit this … I need something other than ice chips today.
NBA Parlay Picks Today: Best 6-Leg Parlay Friday
Giannis Antetokounmpo 20+ Points (Alt NBA Player Prop)
What an embarrassing game from Giannis last time out. He looked incredibly disinterested in all facets of that one against the Raptors as they dismantled the Bucks. You never see that from Giannis, and I doubt we will again tonight. If we know anything about him, it’s that he takes that stuff personally. There’s a BIG bounce-back game from Giannis here, and I love this 20-plus points prop for him. The OddsShopper NBA Player Props Tool projects Giannis to go over his 26.5-point prop nearly 53% of the time, and he’s a lock for 20 tonight against the Knicks.
Jalen Brunson 15+ Points (Alt NBA Player Prop)
Speaking of fellas who have let us down in the recent past … can we get the Jalen Brunson payback spot? This dude had been CHUCKING from 3 going into the game against the Cavaliers, and he just didn’t want to fire any off. Strange. Let’s get this next NBA parlay pick fired up with the Brunson 15-plus points prop. He’s hit 15 or more points in all but one game this season, and if we’ve seen anything from the Bucks, it’s that Damian Lillard — and the rest of the team, for that matter — can’t defend anyone. Dude might cash this leg for us in the first quarter.
Jimmy Butler 15+ Points (Alt NBA Player Prop)
Disappointing isn’t even a strong enough word to describe Jimmy Butler’s start to the 2023-24 NBA season. That Karen Cut he be rockin’ might have something to do with it. I don’t know, just spitballing here. But for as disappointing as it’s been for him so far, there’s no better cure than the Washington Wizards defense. Somehow, the Wizards aren’t dead last in defensive rating this season (the Pacers and Bucks are worse), but they’re still REALLY stinky. This feels like the Butler get-right game where he gets his 20 to 23 points, but we can afford to play it safe with the 15-plus mark since we have a parlay boost from FanDuel.
Stephen Curry 20+ Points (Alt NBA Player Prop)
This dude is automatic. Stephen Curry has poured in 20 or more in every game so far this year, and with the game tonight having a 227.5 total against the Thunder, he’s likely going to be jacking ’em up if they’re thinking that’s the number. I don’t feel like this NBA parlay pick needs much more analysis than … it’s Steph Curry.
Stephen Curry 4+ Rebounds (Alt NBA Player Prop)
Now let’s get to some analysis. This four-plus rebounds number is one Curry has also hit in every game this season. It seems like Draymond Green is a little less active on the boards thus far as he gets his legs back under him from injury, which has allowed Curry to get in there a bit more. The Thunder are 22nd in the NBA in overall rebounding percentage, which is another plus for us in this game. Fire it up.
Warriors Moneyline vs. Thunder (NBA Pick & Prediction)
The Thunder are without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in tonight’s game, who is basically the lifeblood of this Oklahoma City offense. The Warriors are 6.5-point favorites, but I’m not even messing with covering a spread tonight. We’re just going straight-up, raw-dog moneyline on this game. The Warriors, despite being a bit older and having some guys coming back from injury, just seem to be the better team, especially when the Thunder are without their best player. For the last leg of our NBA parlay today, we’re rocking with the Warriors moneyline.
