Longshot NBA Parlay Picks & Player Props Today

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 state is customizable along with the sportsbook. Though it is rare, underdogs eventually have their day, and when they do, the payouts are oh so nice. Here are our best bets for underdogs if you like to fade the favs and cheer for the upset at high odds. As a reminder, betting the props individually is always a smart way to build your bankroll. An underdog parlay is not exactly the most stable return if it is always being bet just as a parlay. Let us find out what the best-projected bets are for Friday and build some NBA parlay picks.

Jusuf Nurkic Under 13.5 Rebounds (Louisiana Betting Offers)

There is no denying that Jusuf Nurkic is in a great spot tonight when the Portland Trail Blazers face the Houston Rockets. The latter team has gotten hammered on the interior this season and they sit 26th in rebounds allowed in the paint. However, Nurkic is only averaging 10.8 rebounds per game so far in 27.2 minutes per night. That is a fairly significant gap between what he averages and how many he needs to hit the over and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 56%. Nurkic also does average 18.7 rebound chances per game and that is sixth in the league. Where he is behind the rest of the players in the top 10 is the conversion rate at 57.9%. That is last among those 10 players and there is a path for him to fall under 14 rebounds tonight.

Cade Cunningham Under 5.5 Assists (Louisiana Betting Offers)

As is the case with most rookies, Cade Cunningham has some inconsistencies in his game and from night to night. Twenty-year-old players in the league are not normally players that you can depend on for the same production every night and Cunningham is no different. He flashes his massive upside at times but also has averaged just 5.3 assists per game thus far. Cunningham makes an average of 54.6 passes per night but is only averaging 10 potential assists per night. If that stays stable against the Orlando Magic tonight, the Pistons will need to shoot pretty well from Cunningham passes to hit the over. This wager gives the latest boost to the ROI at +130 and it has the largest expected win rate at 71%.

Dejounte Murray Under 8.5 Assists (Louisiana Betting Offers)

The San Antonio Spurs host the Chicago Bulls tonight and Dejounte Murray is up to 9.1 assists per game this season. He is playing over 34 minutes per night, and he is eighth in passes made per game with 16.6 potential assists. The Bulls are down to 17th in defensive rating but that could lead Murray to score a little more than anything else. Murray is also due to come back to Earth a little bit with his assists lately because he has had at least 10 in each of the past five games. That is helped the average get over nine when it has not been through most of the season and OddsShopper gives Murray an expected win rate of 65%. Murray does not have a favorite player as far as who is on the receiving end of the passes, with Keldon Johnson, Derrick White, and Lonnie Walker combining for 42% of passes received. Chicago is third in points allowed outside of the paint this year, which could tamper the assists for Murray tonight.

Josh Giddey Under 12.5 Points (Louisiana Betting Offers)

Josh Giddey has been a popular target lately because sportsbooks seemingly will not react to Giddey averaging 11.5 points per game so far. Just like Cunningham, Giddey is a rookie who has not shown the most consistency yet and he is shooting 26.6% from 3-point distance. That is not the largest part of his offensive game with 169 attempts through 42 games, but it is not helping his scoring either. Giddey is also averaging under 12 field goal attempts per game so far and that is not surprising with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the main offensive player for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The matchup against the Indiana Pacers is easier than normal since they are missing Malcolm Brogdon and Myles Turner. However, that is going to clear the path even more for Gilgeous-Alexander without the on-ball defense of Brogdon. OddsShopper has Giddey at an expected win rate of 60%.

Terry Rozier Under 4.5 Assists (Louisiana Betting Offers)

The final leg of the NBA parlay tonight comes from the Charlotte Hornets hosting the Los Angeles Lakers and Terry Rozier is averaging 4.1 assists per game this year. While both teams are in the top-five in pace this season, Rozier is only at a 20.2% assist rate when the Hornets are missing Gordon Hayward, as they are tonight. The Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives a massive return of +3954 and Rozier himself has an expected win rate of 63% with a projection of four assists. LaMelo Ball is the team leader in assist rate at 37.2% and that is getting into the territory of doubling Rozier. Additionally, 24.2% of passes made from Rozier go to Ball and that lessens his chances at racking up many assists even in an elite game environment.
