Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks
Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Friday's NBA lineup:
Celtics vs Magic same-game parlay
Over 198.5
Celtics moneyline
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Over 2.5 rebounds
Boston's big three combined to shoot just 34% from the floor in Game 1, and the Celtics still cruised to a 17-point win. Even without Tatum on Wednesday, they pulled away for a nine-point victory.
Orlando's dynamic duo of Banchero and Wagner have been bringing their A-games, and the Magic still haven't threatened. If they can't win with those guys playing at a high level and Boston's stars underperforming, then I can't back them on the moneyline in any spot.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope played 35 minutes in each of the first two games of this series and grabbed four boards in each. He has now pulled down 3+ rebounds in nine of the last 10 contests where he's logged at least 24 minutes.
Orlando desperately needs KCP's experience and perimeter defense, so expect him to keep getting minutes and eclipse his rebound total.

Pacers vs Bucks same-game parlay
Pacers team total Over 112.5
Pascal Siakam Over 20.5 points
Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 32.5 points
This is why the Pacers traded for Pascal Siakam a few years ago. Not only is he an outstanding player, but he has invaluable playoff experience, and it’s showing so far in this series.
Spicy P has been uber effective through two games. He went 10-for-15 for 25 points in Game 1 and followed that up with an 8-for-16 performance for 24 points.
The Bucks' defense has been bad, and oddsmakers are giving us a point total for Siakam sitting at 20.5. Over.
And of course, we have to talk about Giannis. The guy has been incredible and is doing everything he can to will his team to wins.
In Game 1, he went 14-for-23 for 36 points. Then went for 24 points on 14-of-20 from the floor. I'll take Over 32.5 points for Giannis in what is a must-win game for the Bucks.

Lakers vs Timberwolves same-game parlay
LeBron James Over 22.5 points
Austin Reaves 5+ assists
Timberwolves moneyline
It’s becoming clear that if the Lakers want to win this series, it will all fall on LeBron and Luka. Los Angeles is going to need 50-plus points from that dynamic duo.
With Luka and LeBron letting it rip, someone has to get them the ball. Although Austin Reaves’ shot isn’t going down, he can still impact the game with assists.
The Lakers' shooting woes at home will be compounded on the road with the series swinging to Minnesota, which boasted the sixth-best home-court defense in the NBA (110.4).
