Best NBA Picks & Parlays for Pelicans vs. Nuggets Tonight | 2/4/22

Friday’s NBA slate features nine games, and the matchup between the Pelicans and the Nuggets stands out as one of the best for a same-game parlay. The Nuggets are expected to get Nikola Jokic back after missing their last game, which would be a huge boost for their offense. Let’s dive into some NBA betting tips tonight and how to find the best NBA picks and parlays for Friday, Feb. 4.

Same Game NBA Picks and Parlays: Pelicans vs. Nuggets

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.

Nikola Jokic Over 11.5 Rebounds and Under 9.5 Assists

Jokic missed the Nuggets’ last game, but he is probable to return to the lineup on Friday. He draws a solid matchup against the Pelicans, who rank just 21st in defensive efficiency. They are a good rebounding team – they have the fifth-best team rebound rate this season – but this number still seems too low for Jokic. He has had a career year from a rebounding perspective, averaging 13.8 rebounds per game. He is coming off 16 boards in his last game, and he did that in just 30.4 minutes. OddsShopper gives the over a 68% win rate, making it one of the best wagers in this contest.

Conversely, his assist prop might be a smidge too high. Jokic is actually averaging fewer assists per game than he did last season, at just 7.8 per game. He has hit the under on 9.5 assists in four of his past six games.

Monte Morris Over 2.5 Rebounds

The Nuggets’ supporting cast has been subpar this season, which has forced Morris into a more significant role. He is coming off 31.3 minutes in his last outing, and he has averaged 3.6 rebounds per 36 minutes this season. He finished with three rebounds in that contest, and he should be able to hit that threshold again on Friday. Morris has averaged 4.5 rebounds over his past six games, and the over has an expected win rate of 68% on Friday.

Jonas Valanciunas Over 10.5 Rebounds

This is another rebounding prop that seems too light. Valanciunas is one of the best rebounders in the league, and he has averaged 12 rebounds per game this season. He has recorded at least 11 boards in 30 of his 45 games this season, including his only previous game against the Nuggets. As long as he avoids foul trouble against Jokic, he should be able to cruise past this number.

Will Barton Over 2.5 3-Pointers

Barton has averaged just 2.3 3-pointers per game this season, but there are reasons to believe he can get to three on Friday. The Pelicans defense has been particularly vulnerable against the 3-pointer this season. They allow the ninth-highest frequency of opposing shots from behind the 3-point line, and they rank 26th in opponent 3-point percentage. Overall, the Pelicans allow 12.8 made 3-pointers per game. Barton has made at least three 3-pointers in 16 games this season, and this is a spot where he can get there again.
