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 11.00 a.m. on the Caesars Sportsbook, so be sure to check for any updates.

Kevin Durant Under 31.5 Points

The expectation is both James Harden and Kyrie Irving should be active tonight for the Brooklyn Nets when they take on the Chicago Bulls, and that would help keep the point a little lower for Kevin Durant. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 86%, a number that is rarely seen and that needs to be noted. Any wager over 80% can be a little surprising, but 86% is massive, and the line at Caesars is -115, so the ROI is not even that poor either. Durant leads the league in scoring and is logging an immense number of minutes, 0.3 minutes behind the league lead. However, he is still averaging under 30 points, and the odds of him scoring 32 change drastically with his two teammates active. Chicago is also ninth in defensive rating, and while that is not a deal breaker with a player of Durant’s caliber, it helps the under as well.

Joshua Primo Over 2.5 Rebounds

The San Antonio Spurs face off against the Houston Rockets tonight, and the Spurs are still missing multiple rotation players, opening up minutes for Joshua Primo. While his seasonal statistic for rebounds is just 1.6 rebounds per game, this is a matchup that lends itself to him going over. He has played 25, 39 and 28 minutes in the past three games, and the Rockets are 29th in rebounding overall this year. They also play at the second-fastest pace in the league, while the Spurs are fourth. This game has one of the highest totals on the slate, and Primo has an expected win rate of 78% from OddsShopper tonight.

Spencer Dinwiddie Under 8.5 Assists

Spencer Dinwiddie is expected to play tonight, and he will surely be a popular play in DFS as Bradley Beal is out again. What is interesting is this will be the first time that Dinwiddie has been available for the Washington Wizards on both legs of a back-to-back scenario. Up until this point he has sat one of those games out, and he played 34 minutes last night, so this will be uncharted waters when they face the Orlando Magic. On the season, Dinwiddie has the most minutes of anyone on the team without Beal on the floor, and he has a 38.3% assist rate. The uncertainty of how Dinwiddie reacts to the back-to-back is part of the reason OddsShopper gives the under an expected win rate of 71%.

John Collins Over 1.5 Assists

The four-leg parlay would give a return of +1284 according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 58%. While that is not as high as the other legs, the ROI is the best of the parlay at +120, and that boosts the return strongly. John Collins averages two assists per game, but it helps that the Miami Heat are without Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Without Butler the defensive rating dips to 111.9, and that would rank 24th while the seasonal rank is ninth. That is a significant gap, and Collins has an 8.1% assist rate without Clint Capela, who is expected to be out tonight. This is a strong cap to the parlay, and Miami’s defensive issues without Butler should help Collins reach just two assists.
