NBA Picks and Parlays Today: Player Props & Betting Picks

The first step is finding the brand new Parlay Builder for OddsShopper. It is located on the top banner and is just one click away. This tool is a game changer because the Awesemo data scientists have built the parlay already. The user has the choice of what type of parlay they prefer to chase, and the slate is customizable along with the sportsbook. The parlay is built based on the top ROI bets based on Awesemo simulations and to exceed at least 10 times your initial bet. As a reminder, betting the props individually is always a smart way to build your bankroll. A 10x parlay is not exactly the most stable return if it is always being bet just as a parlay. Let’s find out what the best-projected NBA player prop bets are for Thursday and build some NBA parlay picks. OddsShopper updates the parlay constantly, so this is a guideline, and all plays will be linked to build the particular parlay.

Jalen Green Under 2.5 Assists

The Houston Rockets host the Toronto Raptors tonight, and neither team is expected to make any big trades that would have an effect on the game. The Raptors are 13th in defensive rating on the season, and Jalen Green is averaging 2.4 assists per game in about 30 minutes per game. Green is not passing the ball a ton, and 46% of his passes go to Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Jr., but they average a combined 3.6 field goal attempts from his passes. Only Wood has a lower assist rate of the five starters than the 13.3% Green has, and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 62% for Green tonight.

Jimmy Butler Over 1.5 Steals

There is always a reason that a wager on steal or blocks is an underdog, and there is another one coming, but Jimmy Butler is averaging 1.8 steals per game this year. The Miami Heat visit the new-look New Orleans Pelicans, who are sitting 22nd in turnovers per game this season. On top of that, the Pelicans are expected to have C.J. McCollum available tonight, and that will be the first time he has played with his new team. That can lead to an extra mistake or two on the court, and someone like Butler will be waiting to take advantage. Butler is tied for fourth in steals per game this year, and Brandon Ingram averages 2.5 turnovers per game. It is likely that Butler will face Ingram on the defensive side of the floor often tonight, and OddsShopper gives Butler an expected win rate of 59% — fairly high for an unstable category.

Kyrie Irving Over 5.5 Rebounds

James Harden has been traded to the 76ers, and though the Nets added Ben Simmons in the trade, it is unclear when he will see the floor. That leaves Kyrie Irving as the last man standing as far as star players for Brooklyn when they face the Washington Wizards, who sit just 20th in rebounding. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 53% on this bet tonight, and the projection is 5.8 rebounds. Irving is averaging 4.8 total rebounds per game. and 3.2 of those rebounds come from outside of six feet from the basket. Washington is just 17th in rebounds allowed outside of the paint and 20th inside the paint, so the matchup is very soft for Irving to grab six rebounds for an undermanned Brooklyn team tonight.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 1.5 3-Pointers

Since the other three legs of the parlay are all underdogs, the wager for Giannis Antetokounmpo brings some balance, even though the ROI is not great individually at -162. The one aspect of Antetokounmpo’s game that is not very reliable is his 3-point shot, as he is hitting just barely over 30% of his attempts this year. The rest of the NBA is thankful for that because if he can hit a 3-pointer with regularity, it is all over for trying to defend him. The much-anticipated matchup with the Suns is tough for Antetokounmpo on multiple fronts.

Phoenix is fourth in defensive rating, and they are top 10 in 3-point frequency allowed and field goal percentage allowed. This game does feature the highest total of the night, and both teams are inside the top nine in pace, but that does not mean Antetokounmpo will be bombing 3-point shots. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 69%, and the return for this four-leg NBA parlay is +1464 according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator.
