NBA Big $$$ Parlay Picks Sunday 5/8/22

The two games for the NBA playoffs today are remarkably similar in many aspects, including both games having just a 2-point spread. The Dallas Mavericks and the Philadelphia 76ers both won Game 3 in their respective series once they got a home game. These Game 4’s see the Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat looking to rebound from disappointing efforts, even though both teams still have a 2-1 lead overall. With both games projected to be close affairs, there are plenty of picks to choose from for an NBA parlay.

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. Sunday’s version of the Prop Party features two wagers as of 10:45 a.m. on the DraftKings Sportsbook, so be sure to check for any updates.


The Latest Sports Betting Content from Stokastic Odds


Chris Paul Over 8.5 Assists

This wager currently has a +106 ROI, which at first glance seems crazy for Chris Paul. This is a player that averaged 10.6 assists during the regular season and approached 20 potential assists per game. This series has been different because Devin Booker is leading in potential assists with 11 compared to 10.7 for Paul, but Paul also still leads the team in passes and they are almost identical to his regular-season numbers. It seems like an anomaly that he’s not dishing out more assists in this series, with the numbers all looking close to his season average. Phoenix certainly doesn’t want to go back home with this series tied, and the excepted win rate from OddsShopper is 63%, one of the highest of the day. Even with the drop in potential assists, Paul is still averaging six assists through three games, so even a little bit of a shift could make this wager well worth chasing at plus money.

Joel Embiid Over 24.5 Points

It’s been a very long time since Joel Embiid has had a points prop this low, and it is understandable. He missed the first two games of the series with a concussion and a fractured orbital bone and then returned for 18 points in Game 3. Embiid shot just 5-for-12 from the field, and that also isn’t a surprise because he didn’t shoot a ball for nearly a week. Now that he has that first game under his belt and he played 36 “limited” minutes, things should start going better for him. He got to the free-throw line 10 times, and he is unlikely to only take 12 field goal attempts again, nor should he hit just five of them. If Embiid were more toward his normal prop of 31 or 32 points, this may be more of a concern. As it stands, OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 73% and projects Embiid for 30.2 points. Additionally, the Awesemo Parlay Calculator gives a return of +307 for these two picks in the NBA parlay today.
