Best NBA Picks & Parlays Tonight: Expert Bets & Player Props for Saturday 2/5/22

The NBA has five games on the main slate tonight including the New York Knicks visiting the Los Angeles Lakers and three teams on a back-to-back scenario. Only two games have a total of over 225 points tonight but every game is under 11 points as far as the spread goes so blowout shouldn’t be too large of a factor. Tonight 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 four wagers as of 12:30 p.m. on the FanDuel Sportsbook, so be sure to check OddsShopper for any updates.

Montrezl Harrell Under 5.5 Rebounds 

The Washington Wizards are hosting the Phoenix Suns tonight and this is not the best spot for Montrezl Harrell to rack up rebounds. Not only are the Suns seventh in rebounding overall and 14th in rebounding in the paint, but Harrell is also in a timeshare for playing time in the Washington rotation. He is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game so far, but that has been without Thomas Bryant active through the year aside from the last nine games. Harrell has averaged 4.7 rebounds per game within six feet of the basket and the Suns have size through their rotation, making it tough on Harrell. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 71%, very high for a wager that is at +104. 

Jaren Jackson Jr. Under 7.5 Rebounds

Be aware that this game starts outside of the main slate window at 5:00 p.m., but the expected win rate from OddsShopper of 75% for Jaren Jackson Jr. is the highest of any of the five legs for the NBA parlay. While the young forward for the Memphis Grizzlies is having a strong season overall, he’s only averaging 5.9 rebounds per game and the Grizzlies have center Steven Adams to attack the glass. Jackson Jr. only grabs 3.7 rebounds per game within six feet of the basket so the Orlando Magic ranking 25th in rebounds allowed in the paint may not matter all that much. On top of that, Jackson Jr. only averages 11.4 rebound chances per game with a conversion rate of 51.3%, so he would have to have an abnormal game on the glass to not hit this wager. 

Bobby Portis Over 1.5 3-Pointers

Another wager with a positive ROI at +102, the Milwaukee Bucks take on the Portland Trail Blazers, and Bobby Portis is in a good spot to hit multiple 3-point shots. Portland allows a 42.3% frequency from a 3-point distance and they also allow the second-highest field goal percentage. Portis isn’t exactly the player that comes to mind for hitting a ton of 3-point shots but he’s shooting 39.9% this season over 198 attempts. Milwaukee draws Portland the night after they played and they traded two players, leaving the Trail Blazers rotation fairly thin and Portis has an expected win rate of 59%. 

Duncan Robinson Under 3.5 3-Pointers 

The Miami Heat are mostly healthy coming into this game against the Charlotte Hornets and the minutes for Duncan Robinson have been inconsistent. He’s averaging 27 per game but in the last five, he has played 34, 15, 27, 20, and 26 minutes. Robinson has been a player that Miami is not afraid to trim his minutes if he’s not playing well on a particular night and if he’s not hitting his shots, he’s typically not bringing much else to the floor. The Hornets do allow a 3-point frequency of 43.7% but Robinson will have to contend with Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Kyle Lowry for shot attempts in this contest. On top of that, the 36.3% field goal rate for Robinson is far below his career mark of 40.3% and he’s projected for 2.9 made 3-pointers and has a 66% expected win rate from OddsShopper.

Tre Mann Over 2.5 Rebounds 

This game does feature one of the teams on a back-to-back scenario but the Oklahoma City Thunder are already missing Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, so Tre Mann should continue to play big minutes as he logged 32 last night and has played at least 24 since Gilgeous-Alexander has been out. Mann and the Thunder face the Sacramento Kings, who are in the top five in pace this season and in the bottom five of defensive rating. They are also in the bottom 10 in rebounding on the year, clearing a path for Mann to grab three rebounds since he’s already averaging 2.1 per game on the season. Sacramento is just 19th in rebounds allowed outside of the paint so Mann doesn’t have to get mixed up with the big men on the interior and he has an expected win rate of 64% from OddsShopper. The five legs would give a return of +2348 according to the Awesemo Parlay Calculator and that is a return well worth chasing with these four wagers.
