Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks

Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Monday's NBA lineup:

Cavaliers vs Heat same-game parlay

Cavaliers first-half moneyline

Cavaliers moneyline

Heat team total Under 101.5

First of all, these playoffs have seen a renewed physicality allowance from the officiating crews. Entering Sunday, 19 of 26 playoff games had fallen short of their totals, though the first two games of this series both hit their Overs.

Miami has hit the Under on its team total twice in this series, the Game 2 exception coming in some part thanks to trailing by 13 at the start of the fourth quarter.

But a similar deficit in the clinching game should not evoke the same desperate rally. It should instead prompt an expedited quarter looking a lot like garbage time while Miami thinks about Cancun.

Rockets vs Warriors same-game parlay

Warriors -4

Under 202

Stephen Curry Over 38.5 points + rebounds + assists

This is a wildly low point total, but this series has been wildly low-scoring. All three games have hit the Under. Houston’s defense has been one of the best in the league throughout the season, and Golden State has amped it up on that end of the court as of late.

Expect another physical, low-scoring affair after Games 1-3 featured point totals of 180, 193 and 197, respectively.

The Warriors won’t get a win without another strong performance from Curry, and he knows it. He’s averaged 29/6/7 in this series, hitting the Over on this combo line in both Golden State victories.

He’s reached at least 39 PRA in five of his last six at home, including four straight. This is a pivotal contest, and I expect him to be at his best under the bright lights.
