NBA Big $$$ Parlay Picks Saturday 4/23/22

It is another full day of NBA playoff action today with four games through the day, including the Philadelphia 76ers looking to sweep the Toronto Raptors and Game 4 of the Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves series. All four games have a spread under six points and the totals get higher through the day, culminating in 232.5 for the Minnesota game. Today doesn’t have the same level of injuries that yesterday had, meaning there are a ton of interesting opportunities with our NBA picks and parlays today.

Using this fantastic site can help place smart wagers in an easy-to-use fashion and maximize the ROI on the wagers.

Best NBA Picks and Parlays Today

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 it 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. Saturday’s version of the Prop Party features four wagers as of 10:30 a.m. on the DraftKings Sportsbook, so be sure to check OddsShopper for any updates when building any NBA parlay. 

Gary Trent Jr. Over 17.5 Points 

The Philadelphia side of this game could be a little difficult to place wagers on because Joel Embiid has a ligament injury in his thumb. That adds an element to that team that could change the look of the 76ers in the middle of the game so siding with the Raptors and Gary Trent Jr. makes a little more sense. It appears that Scottie Barnes is going to miss this game with his ankle injury since he’s still doubtful. Trent Jr. came back and played 45 minutes in Game 3 after logging only 10 minutes in Game 2 due to an illness. He took 19 shots and scored 24 points and he also averaged 18 points per game through the course of the season. When Barnes was off the court this season, Trent Jr. had a 23.5% usage rate and OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 59% on this wager. It would be surprising if the Raptors didn’t put up a fight with their backs against the wall today and Trent Jr. is a vital cog in the offense with Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siakam. 

Bojan Bogdanovic Over 2.5 3-Pointers 

The game between the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz is going to be fascinating. The rumors are swirling about the changes that the Jazz could face if this series doesn’t go their way and they are down 2-1 after losing Game 3. On the Dallas side, Luka Doncic could return to the lineup but is still questionable so Dallas does not have any props and Utah could potentially adjust some of its rotations. One player that shouldn’t be worried about playing time is Bojan Bogdanovic, as he’s logged at least 32 minutes in all three games and scored at least 24 points. With Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley not pouring in points, Utah needs Bogdanovic to be that secondary scorer behind Donovan Mitchell, and Bogdanovic has taken 17 3-pointers through three games, and he’s hit seven of them. Bogdanovic shot 38.8% from a distance during the season, and he took 6.4 attempts per game. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 51% today and he should be looking at another 35 minutes today with the Utah season on the verge of disaster.

Kevin Durant Over 29.5 Points 

The expected win rate for Kevin Durant is 53% and the Brooklyn Nets come home down 2-0 to the Boston Celtics. That makes Game 3 practically a must-win for Brooklyn and Durant has not shot the ball well at all to this point. Boston, and Jayson Tatum especially, deserve full credit for its defensive prowess to this point but Durant has shot 13-for-41 from the field through two games and he’s still averaging 25 points per game in the series. It was a massive help that he shot 18-of-20 from the free-throw line in Game 2 but Durant is simply too talented to continue to shoot this poorly. He shot 51.2% from the floor during the year and he’s played over 40 minutes in both games. This is mostly a law of averages wager since Durant scored 29.6 points per game and the Nets are three-point favorites tonight. If the Nets were to take Game 3, Durant should be pouring in the points. 

Desmond Bane Over 18.5 Points 

Game 3 between the Grizzlies and Timberwolves was crazy as the Grizzlies came back from two separate 20-plus point deficits to steal the game in Minnesota. Desmond Bane was key to that win with 26 points scored and he’s averaging 19.6 points per game, slightly above his 18.3 points per game during the regular season. Bane is also 11-for-27 from a 3-point territory so far this series and that’s a little lower than his 43.5% rate during the season, meaning he should have some slightly positive regression coming. Dillon Brooks is questionable for the Grizzlies tonight and even if he plays, Bane has been the secondary scorer for Memphis throughout the season. The game has the highest total today and it has mostly delivered through the first three games. OddsShopper has an expected win rate of 58% for Bane and the Awesemo Parlay Calculator has a +1076 return on these four picks for the NBA parlay.
