Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks

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

Knicks vs Pistons same-game parlay

Knicks team total Over 105.5

Jalen Brunson 7+ assists

Josh Hart 10+ rebounds

The Knicks need to push the pace and make their free throws to close out this series in Motown.

Brunson will lead the Knicks' attack, with projections sitting around seven dimes for Game 6.

Hart is great at grabbing boards and turning on the transition attack. His models call for closer to 10 rebounds.

Nuggets vs Clippers same-game parlay

Ivica Zubac Over 18.5 points

Nikola Jokic Under 26.5 points

Clippers moneyline

As well as Jokic always plays, his scoring has required greater effort this series. In three of five games, he has fallen short of this prop.

The Joker has averaged 25.4 points in the five games. That is hardly a disappointment, but Zubac is making Jokic work.

Faith in Zubac on the offensive side can be doubled down with a touch of doubt in Jokic's points prop, and that combination plays into the Clippers extending this series.
