Best NBA Picks and Parlays Today

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. Sunday’s version of the Prop Party features two wagers as of 10 a.m. on the DraftKings Sportsbook, so be sure to check OddsShopper for any updates when building any NBA parlay.

Bobby Portis Over 1.5 3-Pointers

The Bucks are rolling into the series against the Celtics without Khris Middleton, who is still out with a knee injury. That is giving Bobby Portis a larger role in the playoffs, and Portis played at least 25 minutes the last three games in the first series. The Bucks did win those last three games rather handily, but Portis is still an important player in this series. The Boston defense swarmed the Brooklyn Nets in the first series, but what was interesting is they allowed a 42.2% field goal rate in that series, which is the highest of any team in the playoffs. Portis was quietly a strong shooter from 3 during the regular season with a 39.1% conversion rate. Surely Boston will focus on slowing down Jrue Holiday and mostly Giannis Antetokounmpo, and that’s going to leave Portis opportunities on the perimeter. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 56% on this wager, and Portis may play almost 30 minutes today.

Ja Morant Over 8.5 Assists

One could argue that Ja Morant didn’t play exceptionally well in the first round because his scoring was down from his seasonal rate, but the assists were there in spades. Morant averaged 10.5 assists through those six games and also averaged 16.7 potential assists per game. The Warriors and Grizzlies were the top two scoring teams in the first round, and they were also both top five in pace — not to mention the Warriors were just average in defensive rating at 113.9. The expected win rate for Morant from OddsShopper is 52%, and the two picks would net a return of +255 from the Awesemo Parlay Calculator. This series should be highly entertaining, and the total of 222 points speaks to the firepower these two teams bring to the table. Everything runs through Morant, and even if his scoring picks up, he’ll still be the main ball distributor for Memphis today.
