Best NBA Picks & Parlays for Thunder vs. Mavericks Tonight | 2/2/22

Though at first glance this may not look like a particularly enticing game for NBA betting tonight, the Mavericks and Thunder provide a great spot to target for an NBA same-game parlay. The Thunder are without their best player, opening up avenues for role players to hit the overs on props. Let’s dive into some of the best NBA picks and parlays for Wednesday, Feb. 2.

Same Game NBA Picks and Parlays: Mavericks vs. Thunder

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 10.5 Points

The Thunder are currently playing without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is easily the team’s top player. It is going to be tough for them to compete without him, as they are listed as 12-point underdogs vs. the Mavericks, but it does open up some additional opportunities for the rest of the roster.

Mann is someone who should see a bump in value. He logged 24.4 minutes in his last outing, and he responded with 13 points and two rebounds. He has attempted at least 10 shots in back-to-back games, so he should be able to get to at least 11 points in this contest.

The rebounds are the bigger concern, but the over is available at better than even money across the industry. That results in an expected return on investment of 46% on OddsShopper, making it one of the most profitable wagers on the slate.

Josh Green Over 2.5 Rebounds

The Thunder are not the only team dealing with a key absence on Wednesday. The Mavericks are also without both Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr., so they are going to have to rely on some unusual sources.

Green has seen a slight uptick in playing time recently, logging at least 21.7 minutes in three of his past four games. That has not led to a boost in rebounds, as he has had two or fewer in each of those games, but his numbers suggest he can do better than that. He has averaged 1.8 rebounds in 13.1 minutes per game, so he should be able to get to three with around 20 minutes of playing time.

This prop is also available at better than even money, and it grades out as the most profitable in this contest per OddsShopper.

Luka Doncic Under 9.5 Assists

Doncic sees a nice spike in scoring potential with Porzingis and Hardaway Jr. sidelined, but his assist numbers stay pretty stagnant. Overall, he has averaged just 9.2 assists per 36 minutes in that situation, which makes the under the preferred side in this contest. Doncic has hit double-digit dimes in three straight games, which has caused this line to become a bit inflated.

Luguentz Dort Over 2.5 3-Pointers

With Gilgeous-Alexander sidelined, Dort is going to have to take over as the team’s top offensive option. That should include a healthy amount of shots from behind the 3-point line. He has racked up at least eight attempts in back-to-back games, and Dort is capable of making three of them. He has already had 18 games with at least three made 3-pointers this season, and he is shooting 32.5% from downtown.
