Best NBA Picks & Parlays Tonight: Expert Bets & Player Props for Saturday 1/22/22

The NBA only has three games tonight as the NFL playoffs are in full swing, 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. Saturday’s version of the Prop Party features five wagers as of 11:30 a.m. on the Caesars Sportsbook, so be sure to check for any updates.

Josh Giddey Under 13.5 Points 

The Oklahoma City Thunder are in Cleveland to face the Cavaliers tonight and Josh Giddey is still averaging just 11.6 points per game. Cleveland remains one of the best defensive squads in the league, ranked second in defensive rating and that’s going to make life tough on Giddey. It’s interesting to look at his splits because he’s played four games that were the second leg of a back-to-back like he is tonight. In those games, he’s averaged 14 points scored but his 3-point percentage jumps from 27.8% to 35%. That seems unsustainable given the sample he’s put on the court so far this year and his true shooting rate is only 47.1% on the season. OddsShopper has him at a 67% expected win rate for the under tonight. 

Jae Crowder Under 1.5 Assists 

It can always be a little scary placing a wager on something like an under 1.5 assists because any player can fall backward into an assist at any point. However, Jae Crowder only averages 1.4 per game in large part because over half of his passes go to Chris Paul. When 51.5% of the passes made go to the player who co-leads the league in assists per game, it’s not likely that the player is piling up assists. Even with Deandre Ayton off the floor as he will be tonight, Crowder has an assist rate of just 7.8% and both Paul and Devin Booker are over 23% in their assist rate. Caesars has this wager at +100 so it’s a nice ROI boost for the parlay and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 60%.

Richaun Holmes Over 6.5 Rebounds 

The playing time for Richaun Holmes came up in his second game back from a stint in the health protocols and that’s a great sign for the Sacramento Kings. They’ll need some size in the matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks tonight since they feature both Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis on their interior. Holmes is averaging 8.2 rebounds on the season and 6.1 come from within six feet of the basket. Milwaukee is only 12th in rebounds allowed in the paint so that helps explain why OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 68%, the highest of the three legs. The Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives the NBA picks and parlay a return of +585 tonight and Holmes is quietly in a good spot to exceed this line.
