Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks
Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Saturday's NBA lineup:
Cavaliers vs Heat same-game parlay
Over 213.5
Max Strus Over 7.5 points
Darius Garland Over 6.5 assists
Max Strus is a key cog in Cleveland’s 3-point barrage, and he’s knocked down seven of his 13 triples so far in this series. Playing off Mitchell and Darius Garland is a dream scenario for any shooter, and Strus has consistently punished the Heat for overhelping.
Back at Kaseya Center against his old team, I see Strus continuing his hot start. He eclipsed this 7.5 O/U line in both of his outings against Miami this season, and he’s making his 3-pointers at a 39% clip this season on six attempts per game.
Garland was in a great rhythm in the two contests at Rocket Arena, and his playmaking especially stood out in Game 2, where he finished with nine assists. If I’m picking the Cavs’ offense to power this Over, it’s only natural that a Garland prop ends up in my SGP.
An O/U line of 6.5 dimes feels generous for the Cleveland maestro, who averaged 7.6 assists per game in his final five regular-season contests.

Thunder vs Grizzlies same-game parlay
Over 222.5
Zach Edey Over 18.5 points + rebounds
Williams Over 1.5 threes
Hammering the ball inside has worked to some extent on offense for the Grizzlies, and with that, I believe they’ll continue to lean on Zach Edey to play a large role once again in this one.
Edey has seen his minutes increase with every game, reaching 29 in Game 3, and in that aforementioned contest, he produced his best game of the series with nine points and seven boards.
The Grizzlies were a far better team on the glass than the Thunder all season, and while that’s yet to come to fruition through three games, the tide should turn here, particularly if Edey is going to be logging more minutes.
On the other side of this one, I’m going to bet on the Thunder waking up from deep, especially with a weaker look on defense for Memphis. Jalen Williams is the top target for me with six 3-point attempts in each of the last two games and back-to-back cashes of two or more makes.

Nuggets vs Clippers same-game parlay
Clippers -6.5
Under 211.5
Christian Braun Under 12.5 points
If you've parlayed Clippers ATS and the Under in every game so far this series... let's just say the first round of beers is on you tonight.
I'm backing the Under to hit for the fourth straight Nuggets-Clippers game tonight, even with the total at its lowest point so far. Denver dropped just 83 points in Game 3, and with their overall health in decline, I can't see them doing enough to send this game Over.
Christian Braun shares some of the blame for the Nuggets' shortcomings thus far in this series. He's been held to single-digit points in two straight despite an increase in playing time, going below 12.5 points in all three Round 1 tilts.

Rockets vs Warriors same-game parlay
Rockets moneyline
Warriors Under 102.5 points
Moses Moody Over 14.5 PRA
As mentioned above, Golden State’s offense is not the same without Butler in the lineup. The team is already operating at a disadvantage, but Houston’s physical defense makes scoring an even more difficult task for the Warriors.
Golden State has posted point totals of 94, 95, 96, 105, 90, and 99 across their last six meetings with Houston, eclipsing 102.5 points only once. I expect the Rockets to put the clamps on the Butler-less Warriors.
Someone’s got to step up in Butler’s absence, and I expect that guy to be Moses Moody. He finished with 12 points, two rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Game 2, scoring in double figures for the first time in nine games as Butler was limited to just eight minutes.
Moody has started 31 straight games for Golden State, averaging 10.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists, good for 15.3 PRA. He hit the Over on this line 17 times, and I expect him to do it again in Game 3.
