Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks
Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Wednesday's NBA lineup:
Magic vs Celtics same-game parlay
Over 199
Magic team total Over 93.5 points
Anthony Black Over 6.5 points
I’m betting on an offensive bounce-back from Orlando, and this team point total is juicy. The Magic averaged 105.4 points per game this season, and they scored at least 94 points in 65 games. The team scored at least that many in 20 of the final 25 games of the season.
Though the Magic posted a dud against the Celtics in Game 1, they scored 94 or more in all three regular-season meetings and have scored at least that many in each of the last nine regular-season tilts with Boston.
A boost on offense means role players will have to get involved, and that means some more minutes and touches for Black. Over the final month of the regular season, Black was the team’s leading scorer behind Banchero and Wagner, dropping 11.6 points per game and scoring at least seven in 10 of 13 appearances. He finished with 16 points in 28 minutes against the Hawks in the Play-In but logged only 14 minutes and scored three points in Game 1.
I expect him to be more involved in Game 2, so I’m taking the Over on his modest scoring line.

Heat vs Cavaliers same-game parlay
Darius Garland Over 5.5 assists
Jarrett Allen Over 11.5 points
Tyler Herro Over 2.5 threes
Darius Garland gets to the middle of the paint and makes plays for Cleveland with projections closer to seven assists.
Jarrett Allen will find more space to operate inside with models calling for 13 or more points in Game 2.
The big spread writes a game script that has the Heat trailing and Tyler Herro chucking from long range. Miami has to do a better job of creating off-the-ball shot opportunities for Herro.

Warriors vs Rockets same-game parlay
Alperen Sengun Over 20.5 points
Fred VanVleet Under 2.5 3-pointers
Rockets -3
VanVleet first hurt his ankle on Feb. 1 against Brooklyn. He promptly reaggravated that leg in his first game back on March 1. He returned for good on March 12, and since then VanVleet has shot 36.2% from deep while attempting 7.5 threes per game.
Making 2.7 per game is decent and something that could keep the Houston offense afloat, but he has shot terribly too often. Remove going 9-for-11 at Miami on March 21 and the other 13 games saw VanVleet shoot 30.9% from deep on 7.2 attempts per game, making 2.2 per game.
At some point, even someone as rightfully confident as VanVleet needs to notice his shooting is off right now. He is uncomfortable shooting. And better restraint there may have been all Houston needed to win Game 1. That added desperation in Game 2 justifies the spread moving a point toward the Rockets.
