Best NBA Picks and Parlays Tonight: Expert Bets & Player Props for Wednesday, 2/2/22

Normally the NBA on Wednesday has a sprawling schedule with double-digit games but tonight there are only nine games and seven of them have a spread of six points or lower. That should make for a fun night of basketball with tight games all around and that helps players hit props when the games stay close. There also are not a ton of teams that are on a back-to-back with just four, so the normal chaos of players sitting out will hopefully be at a minimum and the NBA parlay will not be forced to change during the day.

Wednesday 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 11:00 a.m. on the Caesars Sportsbook, so be sure to check for any updates.

Nikola Jokic Under 9.5 Assists

The Denver Nuggets are one of the four teams on a back-to-back but Nikola Jokic seemingly never seems to miss a game unless there is an injury involved, and facing the Utah Jazz does not profile as a game to sit out. Jokic does continue to lead the league in passes made but that has not translated to dishing all sorts of assists, as he is averaging 13.8 potential assists and 7.8 assists per game. Jokic is having to carry the entire load of the Nuggets offense since they have been missing guard Jamal Murray all season and forward Michael Porter Jr. for the majority. That has led the assists to come down just a bit and Utah will be without their defensive anchor in Rudy Gobert. On top of that, Hassan Whiteside is questionable and the Jazz could be very short on big men to defend Jokic. He may not have much incentive to pass the ball in the frontcourt and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 66%.

Tre Mann Over 2.5 Rebounds

The absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will continue to open up minutes for secondary role players like Tre Mann, who has played 26 and 24 minutes in the past two games. He is averaging 2.1 rebounds on the season and typically has been playing under 18 minutes for the Thunder. The matchup against the Dallas Mavericks is generous. They are just 23rd in rebounding overall and Mann does not have a specific distance from the basket that he does most of his work on the glass. He is balanced across the board and with the extra minutes he is likely to get, OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 68% and the ROI of +110 is very appealing to add into the NBA parlay tonight.

Torrey Craig Over 4.5 Rebounds

OddsShopper has a massive expected win rate for Torrey Craig tonight at 82% and the Indiana Pacers have seen their rotation just fall apart lately. They are missing Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner, Malcolm Brogdon and Goga Bitadze tonight when they face the Orlando Magic. Craig was on the court for 27 minutes in the last game in this scenario. Orlando played last night and is 26th in rebounding overall, while Craig averages 3.6 rebounds per game in an average of 19 minutes per night. Just like Mann, the extra minutes should put him over the top and Orlando is in the bottom-10 in rebounds allowed inside and outside of the paint. Craig is the lowest ROI of the NBA parlay, but the expected win rate is very difficult to ignore.

C.J. McCollum Over 2.5 3-Pointers

The NBA likely hoped that the Portland Trail Blazers facing the Los Angeles Lakers tonight would feature Damian Lillard playing against LeBron James, but both players are out tonight. That is especially important for each team and Portland is led by C.J. McCollum, who has a 28.6% usage rate when Lillard is off the floor. The Lakers are allowing a 40.7% 3-point frequency to opponents and McCollum is shooting 39.6% from a 3-point distance this season across 265 attempts. Additionally, 43.7% of all of McCollum’s field goal attempts are from a 3-point distance and he takes over eight of those shots per game. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 65% tonight and projects McCollum for 3.3 shots made tonight. These four legs of this NBA parlay combine for a return of +1042 according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator and it is always a little bit more fun to have a bet on a late-night game to sweat out.
