With the NFL season behind us, the attention shifts fully to NBA basketball. Monday features a nine-game NBA slate and the matchup between the Spurs and Bulls stands out as one of the best of the day. The total currently sits at 234.0 points, so there should be plenty of scoring to go around. Let’s dive into some NBA betting tips tonight and how to find the best NBA picks and parlays for Monday, Feb. 14.
Same Game NBA Picks and Parlays: Spurs vs. Bulls
The first step is finding which sport you are going to wager on, so the banner at the top of the screen has the sports separated. Once you are on the NBA page, it is super simple to customize what you are looking for as far as teams and players on the left-hand side of the page.
Now, if you miss one of the odds highlighted in the article because it changed, do not worry. The lines do not always stay the same, as they are updated every two minutes. There will be examples of when you can still wager based on the Awesemo projections. It is also easy to sort the props by what style you want to bet them, meaning that you can choose the highest ROI or the highest expected win rate.
Generally, the best approach is a mix of the highest ROI and expected win rate, and this process should take under 30 seconds to filter what you are looking for. The highlighted wagers in the article can also be bet individually, so if the parlay misses by one leg, it is not a total loss.
Dejounte Murray to Record a Triple-Double
Everyone is feeling a little bit blue with the NFL season now in the rear-view mirror, so spice up your same-game parlay with Murray to record a triple-double. It is available at around +350 across the industry, so it will significantly juice up the wager.
The best part is Murray getting a triple-double is totally reasonable. He accomplished that feat just two games ago and missed it in his last contest by just three boards. Murray has 11 triple-doubles in his 50 games this season.
Murray should also continue to thrive with Derrick White now in Boston. He has increased his usage and assist rates in seven games without his former running mate and has averaged 27.9 points, 10.3 assists and 8.4 rebounds in those contests.
Keldon Johnson Over 5.5 Rebounds
The over on Johnson’s rebounding prop is grading out as the most profitable prop bet in this contest, per OddsShopper. It owns a 62% expected win rate and the prop is available at better than even money across the industry.
Johnson is another player who figures to benefit from the White trade. His playing time is a bit more secure, and he is currently projected for 32.4 minutes against the Bulls. Johnson has averaged 6.0 rebounds in 31.2 minutes per game this season and has recorded at least six boards in just over half of his games.

Ayo Dosunmu Under 1.5 3-Pointers
Dosunmu has played a ton of minutes for the Bulls recently and he is looking at another monster workload against the Spurs. The Bulls are currently without Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso, leaving Dosunmu and Coby White to handle most of the minutes in the backcourt.
However, Dosunmu is not much of a scorer. He has posted an average usage rate of just 10.0% across his past two games and has done most of his damage as a distributor. Dosunmu has made at two 3-pointers in both of those contests, but he has attempted just seven total. That means he is been thriving on efficiency, not volume. If his shooting numbers regress, he should hit the under more times than not.
Nikola Vucevic Under 13.5 Rebounds
Vucevic is an excellent rebounder and is coming off 15 boards in his last outing. That has caused his rebounding prop to become a bit inflated. He has averaged 11.7 rebounds per game this season and has had 13 rebounds or fewer in 33 of 50 games.
The Spurs are a quality matchup for Vucevic, as they rank 21st in team rebound rate, but the under still grades out favorably on OddsShopper. Vucevic is projected for 12.2 rebounds, giving the under an expected win rate of 66%.
