Best FREE NBA DraftKings Same Game Parlay Picks Today

The first step is finding which sport you are going to wager on, so the banner at the top of the screen has the sports separated. Once you are on the NBA page, it is super simple to customize what you are looking for as far as teams and players on the left-hand side of the page.

Now, if you miss one of the odds highlighted in the article because it changed, do not worry. The lines do not always stay the same as they are updated every two minutes. There will be examples of when you can still wager based on the Awesemo projections. It is also easy to sort the props by what style you want to bet them, meaning that you can choose the highest ROI or the highest expected win rate.

Generally, the best approach is a mix of the highest ROI and expected win rate, and this whole process should take under 30 seconds to filter what you are looking for. The highlighted wagers in the article can also be bet individually, so if the parlay misses by one leg, it is not a total loss. Let us find out what the best-projected bets are for Saturday night and build an NBA same-game parlay tonight.

Julius Randle Over 8.5 Rebounds and Nerlens Noel Over 5.5 Rebounds

Discussing both players at the same time makes sense because the matchup against the Celtics is so similar. The Knicks are starting to really pile up players that are going to miss this game, so Julius Randle should be almost guaranteed to play 36 minutes or more. For Nerlens Noel, he should be around 24 minutes and the only reason he played 18 minutes in the last game was foul trouble. Randle is already averaging 16.3 rebound chances per game with a 59.7% conversion rate for 9.8 rebounds per game. The matchup with Boston is prime for him and Noel to crash the glass because they are 20th in paint rebounds given up per game. It also helps that Al Horford is out for the Celtics since he’s averaging the third-most rebounds for the Celtics. Noel is averaging 5.9 rebounds per game in volatile playing time but the Knicks will need him in the interior to help defend and matchup against Robert Williams for the Celtics. Both players have an expected win rate of at least 63% from OddsShopper.

Alec Burks Over 16.5 Points

OddsShopper has Alec Burks at a 54% expected win rate and projects him for 17.1 points, but the opportunity is going to be so high for Burks tonight it’s worth adding him to the same-game parlay. New York is missing RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Miles McBride, Obi Toppin, and Kevin Knox. On top of all of them, Derrick Rose is listed as questionable and he left the last game due to an ankle injury. Burks and Randle are going to play as many minutes as they can handle and Burks can’t shoot much worse than he has these past three games at 6-32, 18.8% from the field. On the season, Burks is shooting 38.8% and 40% from 3-point distance. Boston is in the bottom 12 in 3-point frequency allowed and there will be so many shots for him to take.

Robert Williams Over 9.5 Points

It is a larger number for Robert Williams since he only averages nine points per game, but the matchup is excellent and Williams will need to log heavy minutes again tonight. The Celtics are still without Al Horford, Grant Williams, and Dennis Schroeder tonight so Williams should flirt with 35 minutes. He scores over eight points per game in the paint and New York is 23rd in points allowed in the paint. Even though New York allows a 59.4% field goal rate within five feet of the basket, Williams is shooting over 73% on the season. OddsShopper gives him an expected win rate of 60% and the Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives the four legs a return of +1071.
