Best NBA Parlay Picks Tonight: Expert Bets & Player Props for Wednesday 1/5/22

The NBA has a large 11-game slate tonight, which is a perfect opportunity to use Awesemo OddsShopper to build some of the best NBA parlay picks today. Using this fantastic site can help place smart wagers in an easy-to-use fashion and maximize the ROI on the wagers. It is truly betting made simple since you can find the best bet in 30 seconds or less. Take these NBA betting today, then head to OddsShopper and find your best odds.

Best NBA Picks and Parlays Tonight

The first step is locating the new Parlay Builder tab on the OddsShopper home page, which is very simple to do. After that, the user can customize to their heart’s content. OddsShopper offers the parlay bets by state, sportsbooks, and a variety of parlays. This article will be featuring the Prop Party Parlay, which gives up to five player prop bets that will give you the best chance to win based on our Awesemo simulations. The prop party is the most popular betting combo within the Awesemo community and Alex “Awesemo” Baker – the world’s No. 1 daily fantasy player – uses these almost exclusively when he is looking for an edge. It is always a smart idea to bet each wager as a solo piece as a way to build the bankroll. Parlays by their nature are harder to hit, which is why the reward is so large. Wednesday’s version of the Prop Party features five wagers as of 10:45 a.m. on the DraftKings Sportsbook, so be sure to check for any updates.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Under 11.5 Rebounds

The Milwaukee Bucks host the Toronto Raptors tonight, and Giannis Antetokounmpo has the second-highest expected win rate from OddsShopper (80%). While Toronto is 17th in rebounding, Giannis is averaging 11.5 rebounds per game. He has a 65.4% conversion rate on his rebounding chances, which is 17.6 per night. That is tied for 10th, so it may not be as high as some think, and when there are expected win rates of 80% or higher, that is very notable. That also leads directly into the next wager.

Update: Giannis has been ruled out.

Bradley Beal Under 8.5 Assists

Based on his past two games, this wager from Bradley Beal would be a fool’s errand, but a closer look at the metrics in the past three games is more encouraging. The Washington Wizards have been without Spencer Dinwiddie for the past three games, and Beal has had games of 10 and 17 assists. Considering the 17-assist result was a very significant anomaly, that has pushed his averages to unsustainable numbers. He is averaging 19 potential assists per game for a total of 57. That means his teammates have converted 35 of those potential assists, a 61% rate. Even against the Houston Rockets (fourth in pace, 26th in defensive rating), most teams are not going to shoot 61% from the floor for any length of time. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 83%, and the ROI is at plus money at some sportsbooks.

Nikola Jokic Under 7.5 Assists

The assist numbers for Nikola Jokic have fallen under seven per game (6.9), and they have been trending downward. Part of that reason is the Denver Nuggets are missing both Michael Porter Jr. and Jamal Murray, leaving Jokic short on reliable offensive threats around him. It is interesting because Jokic still leads the league in passes made per game (73.6), but he is barely in the top 20 in potential assists per game (12.9). The Utah Jazz currently has multiple starters listed as questionable, including Rudy Gobert, so the matchup for Jokic could change dramatically. If it does, it could  give him an easier path to scoring points and dishing fewer assists in this game, and OddsShopper has a 71% expected win rate.

LaMelo Ball Under 20.5 Points

OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 72% for this wager, another strong addition to the NBA parlay. The Charlotte Hornets host the Detroit Pistons tonight and LaMelo Ball has been somewhat inconsistent this season. There are some games where he looks like an elite player in the league and others where he is a little quieter. He does lead the Hornets in usage rate at 27.3%, and he is shooting 42.5% from the floor this year. This game is between two teams in the top 10 in pace, so there should be plenty of possessions, but Ball’s shot is something that is not reliable. With other talented scoring options on the Hornets like Terry Rozier and Miles Bridges, Ball does not need to carry the scoring load every night.

Maxi Kleber Over 8.5 Points

With these five legs built, the Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives a +2747 return, and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 69% for Maxi Kleber. The Dallas Mavericks face the Golden State Warriors, and the Mavericks will be without Kristaps Porzingis, opening up extra minutes for Kleber. In the past two games Kleber has played 24 and 31 minutes while taking seven shots in each game. The usage without Porzingis is under 13%, which is not a surprise since Luka Doncic dominates the ball, but that is going to get Kleber good looks at the basket. He shoots 36.8% from a 3-point distance, which is solid, and in 30 minutes or more Kleber should do just enough to hit the over.
