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:
Celtics vs Heat same-game parlay (SGP)
Bam Adebayo Over 3.5 assists
Caleb Martin Over 1.5 made threes
Jaime Jaquez Jr. Over 0.5 made threes
If we're going to get a green checkmark on our Adebayo assists prop, we're going to need some players on the Heat to make some 3-pointers.
I'm rolling with these two because I prefer their odds compared to Herro, who is trading at 3.5. Adebayo will most likely collect an assist from Herro on the DHO action and Herro cashing a three, but I just think the 3.5 threes made for Herro is too high. Erik Spoelstra has shown us in this series he is willing to play Jaquez and Martin for 30+ minutes against the Celtics.

Thunder vs Pelicans same-game parlay (SGP)
Pelicans team total Under 101.5
Josh Giddey 5+ assists
Chet Holmgren Over 15.5 points
As Jon Metler points out, the Pelicans are leaving Josh Giddey open on the perimeter — something most teams will do in these playoffs — and that often puts the ball in Josh Giddey’s hands against a rotating defense. On Saturday, he turned those chances into six assists.
The meaningful part of that stat is that Giddey was willing to make the right play. If he carries that mindset into tonight, he should have just as many moments to do so. Taking his assists prop to an alternate line of 5+ from its Over/Under of 3.5 raises this same-game parlay’s payout by 54.5%, far more than one additional assist should.
Adding Chet Holmgren to this parlay may as well be doubling down on Giddey’s assists. Giddey gets the ball out of pick-and-rolls, often delivered by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, while New Orleans focuses on Jalen Williams. That often leaves Lu Dort and Holmgren available for easy looks.

Lakers vs Nuggets same-game parlay (SGP)
D'Angelo Russell Over 4.5 assists
Aaron Gordon Over 3.5 assists
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Over 1.5 rebounds
Russell’s assist numbers haven’t been great but he’s coming off 11 potential assists in Game 4 and player projections call for as many as seven-plus dimes.
If Murray is out, Aaron Gordon can step up in the pick-and-roll gameplan. He’s an underrated passer and his forecast calls for more than four assists in Game 5.
KCP will be putting in minutes if both Murray and Jackson sit, which includes stepping up on the glass. He’s projected for closer to three boards tonight.
