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 four wagers as of noon on the FanDuel Sportsbook, so be sure to check for any updates.

Stephen Curry Over 6.5 Assists

The NBA parlay kicks off with an expected win rate of 66% for Stephen Curry when the Golden State Warriors travel to Utah to face the Jazz. The ROI of +112 is appealing and the Warriors will be without Draymond Green and Klay Thompson tonight, leaving almost all of the offensive responsibility on Curry’s shoulders. The assist rate for Curry jumps to 30.6% in that scenario, and he is already averaging 6.4 assists per game and 10.2 potential assists per game this season. An added bonus for Curry is the game environment because the Jazz are still missing their defensive anchor in Rudy Gobert. When Gobert has been off the floor this year, the defensive rating of the Jazz is 118.5. For context, that would rank 24th in the league next to the Orlando Magic, so Curry gets a much easier path to hit seven assists or more tonight.

Keldon Johnson Over 1.5 3-Pointers

This wager is the highest ROI by a lot at +158, so naturally it has the lowest expected win rate from OddsShopper at 52%. Keldon Johnson and the San Antonio Spurs take on the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight, and Johnson is very quietly shooting the lights out from a 3-point distance (43.1%). On the season he is only averaging 2.4 field goal attempts per game, but he has started to let it fly since the calendar has turned to January. In the 17 games he is played since January, Johnson is averaging 6.1 attempts per game and the shooting percentage has remained strong at 40.4%. Cleveland does do a strong job guarding the 3-point line, as they allow the 10th-lowest frequency of 3-point shot attempts. But with how well Johnson is shooting, this is well worth chasing with such a large return and boosting the NBA parlay so much.

Fred VanVleet Under 7.5 Assists

The largest spread of the night comes from the Toronto Raptors game, as they are 10-point favorites over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fred VanVleet logs the most minutes per game of anyone in the league (38.6), so betting the under is not always the most comfortable but VanVleet is averaging just 7.1 assists per game. Even his potential assists per game sit at just 13.9, so there is a clear path to hitting under eight assists, and the expected win rate is 70% from OddsShopper. Both teams are 16th or lower in pace this season, and the Thunder quietly have the ninth-best defensive rating this season. There is a reason the total for this game is 204.5 points, and the other five games of the night are at least 216 points.

Patrick Beverley Over 0.5 Blocks

There is no denying that blocks and steals are some of the more difficult stats to predict, but Patrick Beverley has a very good chance of recording at least one block tonight. The Minnesota Timberwolves face the Sacramento Kings again tonight, as they did last night, in a game that features two teams in the top eight in pace this year. The total for this game is 234 points after 248 were scored last night, and Beverley has typically been logging around 25 minutes per night and averages 0.9 blocks per game. What is really notable from last night is the guards for Sacramento (De’Aaron Fox, Davion Mitchell and Jahmi’us Ramsey) accounted for 42 shot attempts out of the 83 total the Kings took. With so many attempts coming from perimeter players, Beverley has an expected win rate of 60% from OddsShopper and the Awesemo Parlay Calculator has a return of +2072 tonight for the four-leg NBA parlay.
