Saturday features another early NBA slate, with all but one game getting underway before 8:30 p.m. ET. The Clippers will head to Dallas to take on the Mavericks in a battle between playoff hopefuls. The Mavericks are in good shape — they’re currently in fifth place in the Western Conference standings — while the Clippers are in eighth. Let’s dive into some NBA betting tips tonight and how to find the best NBA picks and parlays for Saturday, Feb. 12.
Same Game NBA Picks and Parlays: Clippers vs. Mavericks
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.
Luka Doncic Under 9.5 Assists
Doncic has been incredible recently. He’s been dominant in six games without Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr., averaging 34.8 points, 10.7 assists, and 9.5 rebounds per game.
However, the Mavericks did ship Porzingis to the Wizards before the trade deadline, and it’s possible that Spencer Dinwiddie is available for Saturday’s matchup. That would likely have an impact on Doncic’s assist potential.
Even if Dinwiddie is out, this line still seems a smidge high. Doncic has averaged just 9.1 assists per game this season, and OddsShopper gives the under a 66% expected win rate.
Reggie Bullock Over 2.5 3-Pointers
Bullock has been gathering dust on the Mavericks’ bench for most of the year, but he’s averaged 35.0 minutes over his past six games. He’s also started each of the past four games.
If Bullock is going to see that much playing time, this number is simply too low. He’s extremely proficient from downtown, making 38.7% of his 3-point attempts for his career. He’s been even more lethal over his past six games, making 4.0 3-pointers per game while shooting 42.9% from behind the arc. The Clippers are a tough matchup from a 3-point perspective, but I like Bullock’s chances of going over at better than even money.

Reggie Jackson Under 17.5 Points
Jackson has served as the Clippers’ top offensive option for most of the year, but he has a bit more help in that department at the moment. The team acquired Norman Powell before the trade deadline, who should be able to ease Jackson’s scoring burden.
Jackson has hit the over on 17.5 points in four of his past six games, but he’s still averaged just 16.5 points per game on the year. Dallas has quietly been an excellent defensive team this season – they rank fifth in defensive efficiency – and they’ve also played at the slowest pace in the league. That should help keep the scoring numbers down.
Ivica Zubac Over 6.5 Rebounds
Zubac’s playing time has been a bit volatile recently, but he is coming off 25.7 minutes in his last outing. If he sees that much playing time on Saturday, he should be able to hit the over on 6.5 boards. He had just three rebounds in his last game, but he’s averaged 7.9 rebounds in 24.0 minutes per game this season.
