ONE BLOCK! We missed our Wednesday NBA parlay picks by ONE BLOCK! Absolute pain. That three-banger would’ve been a great way to start the NBA season in earnest.

I used the OddsShopper Premium tools all MLB season and we’ve CRUSHED for almost 50 units; and I used them to make today’s NBA parlay. Check ’em out if you want, I think you’ll find them useful — and profitable!
Now let’s get this parlay rockin’!
NBA Parlay Today: Best Bucks-76ers Parlay Bets
Giannis Antetokounmpo 10+ Rebounds (Alt NBA Player Prop)
Are you kidding me? Giannis wakes up with 10 rebounds. This fella should be extremely energized with it being Damian Lillard’s — more to come on him later — regular-season debut with the new-look Bucks. Not only that, but Giannis enjoys himself a matchup against Joel Embiid and the 76ers. In his career, Giannis is averaging 11.6 rebounds against Philly. Plus, in 4 games against the 76ers last year, Giannis had games of 14, 14, 13 and 13 rebounds. You know, good enough for an average of 13.5 boards per game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo 1+ Blocks (Alt NBA Player Prop)
Much has been made about the need for Giannis to become a better defender and rim protector this season, and I think he’s going to show the critics he’s ready to take on that challenge. We’re only looking for one block tonight, which seems more than doable for the uber-athletic Stretch Armstrong doppelganger. OK, he doesn’t LOOK like Stretch Armstrong, but his wingspan sure looks like it. In the four matchups against the 76ers last year, Giannis had at least one block in every game and had two games with as many as three. We’re not looking for more than one, and we’re going to get it.
Damian Lillard 20+ Points (Alt NBA Player Prop)
Quick, how many games of 20 or more points does Damian Lillard have? If you didn’t answer 554, you’re wrong. So with that type of track record, and definitely having some extra juice playing alongside Giannis on a true contender, do you really think he’s NOT going for 20? The books have his points prop set at 27.5, but we’re not even going to mess with that. We’re taking a number we know Dame can hit with ease.
Damian Lillard 2+ Made 3-Pointers (NBA Player Prop)
If we’re thinking Lillard gets to 20 points, we’re definitely going to be locking in some 3-pointers for him. Here’s a number for you: Damian Lillard has made two or more 3-pointers in 602 games. Another good one: He had 31 games with over three made 3-pointers a year ago. Look, my friends, we’re getting at least two made 3’s from our guy tonight. He will probably even cash this parlay pick in the first quarter.
Tyrese Maxey 4+ Assists (NBA Player Prop)
Someone on Twitter said earlier they felt bad about Tyrese Maxey being included in our NBA parlay today. Wild. I feel great about it. We know the 76ers will be without James Harden for this game, which means more usage will be funneled toward Maxey. He should take on a bit more of the ball-handling and play-making role with Harden off the floor. In 13 games without Harden last year, Maxey averaged 5.4 assists and cashed the four-plus assists prop 11 times. We’re not getting cute or overthinking it here; go with the players we know are going to get usage, especially with a ball-dominant player like Harden out of action.
