Torched. Our NBA parlay picks from Monday … not so hot. Jalen Duren looked mortal, and the Pacers looked pitiful in the closing minutes against the Bulls. We can’t complain too much after smacking back-to-back NBA parlays on Thursday and Friday. It’s a small slate, so we had to get a little frisky with our NBA parlay picks today. But, of course, I got in the lab and found us a FIVE-LEG PARLAY (that’s me yelling it at you).
And, if you feel so inclined, fire up the ole Twitter machine and follow me so we can sweat these bets and parlays out together.
NBA Parlay Picks Today: Best 5-Leg +353 Parlay Bet
Jalen Brunson 2+ 3-Pointers (Alt NBA Player Prop)
Tonight is Jalen Brunson night. Through three games this season, Brunson has attempted 25 3-pointers, including a game against the Hawks where he jacked up 12 (and made eight). He’s averaging over eight attempted 3’s per game and gets a tasty matchup against the Cavaliers and their fourth-worst 3-point defense. Teams are making 40.7% of their 3’s against Cleveland, and with Brunson chucking from deep quite often already this year, I love him to make some long-range shots tonight.
Kevin Durant Over 1.5 3-Pointers (NBA Player Prop)
In Phoenix tonight it’s going to be Kevin Durant and … Kevin Durant. He’s literally going to have to do basically everything with Devin Booker and Bradley Beal both out tonight. Granted, it’s against the Spurs, but still, he’ll be getting an insane usage, per usual. Over his last two games, Durant has attempted nine 3-pointers but made just two. It’s hard to call that a “slump” given it’s such a small sample, but you would definitely expect him to shoot closer to 35% to 40% instead of the 22% he’s at right now. The Spurs love to give up points, and if I’m getting another 4 to 5 attempts from beyond the arc for Durant, I’m taking over 1.5.
Eric Gordon Over 1.5 3-Pointers (NBA Player Prop)
What do we know about Eric Gordon? He shoots. And what does he shoot? Yes, he shoots 3’s. For this NBA parlay pick today, we’re looking for Gordon to go over 1.5 3-pointers. Gordon has made two or more 3-pointers in every game this year. Better yet, he’s attempted seven or more in every game this year. With Booker and Beal out, it’s an increase in minutes — and shots — for Gordon, and we know he’ll be chucking it from deep.
Suns Alternate Team Total Over 110.5 (NBA Team Prop)
As I mentioned earlier, the Spurs LOVE to give up points. They’re second worst in the NBA, allowing 123.7 points per game. That trend should continue tonight, as Durant will probably get 30-plus and lead the Suns to a big win. The game total is sitting right at 225, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this cleared 235.
Suns Moneyline vs. Spurs (NBA Prediction)
To sweeten this puppy up, we’re not even messing with point spreads (Suns -7.5), we’re just going with a straight-up moneyline. The Suns are the better team. They’re at home. It all sets up for a Suns victory here against a pretty meek San Antonio team. Slap this moneyline on the slip as our last NBA parlay pick today.
