Saturday features a five-game NBA main slate. The game between the Thunder and Kings doesn’t stand out as the most exciting, but that’s why sports betting was invented. Nothing will make an uninteresting game interesting more than having the potential to win a few dollars. Let’s dive into some NBA betting tips tonight and how to find the best NBA picks and parlays for Saturday, Feb. 5.
Same Game NBA Picks and Parlays: Thunder vs. Kings
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 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.
Tre Mann Over 2.5 Rebounds and Over 13.5 Points
The Thunder are currently playing without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, which opens up plenty of playing time for the rest of the roster. They’ve also emphasized a youth movement recently, which includes Mann at the point guard position. He racked up 32 minutes in their last game, but he finished with just nine points.
That said, Mann did record 17 shots in that contest, which was the top mark on the squad. He was just 4-17 from the field and 1-9 from 3-point range, so he was extremely inefficient. With some positive shooting regression, he should be able to get to 14 points in a solid matchup vs. the Kings. They rank ninth in pace and 29th in defensive efficiency, so the Thunder have a bit more offensive upside than usual.
Hitting the over on 2.5 boards seems a little riskier to me, but it grades out extremely well on OddsShopper. They give it an expected win rate of 64%, making it one of the most profitable wagers in this contest.

Harrison Barnes Under 17.5 Points and Under 2.5 Assists
Barnes is coming off 39.3 minutes in his last outing, but his playing time has been a bit volatile recently. He played just 28.8 and 32.7 minutes in his previous two contests, so he could be a bit overvalued on Saturday. If his playing time returns to normal – he’s projected for 32.6 minutes vs. the Thunder – he should be able to go under on his scoring and assist props.
Josh Giddey Over 1.5 3-Pointers
Giddey is one of the Thunder’s most promising young players, and he’s been at his best with SGA out of the lineup. Most of his value has come from his increased role as a distributor, but he’s capable of knocking down some 3-pointers as well. His efficiency leaves a lot to be desired – he’s shot just 25.8% from 3-point range – but he still has 13 games with multiple made 3-pointers. That includes two triples in his last contest, so I’ll roll the dice on the over at better than even money.
