Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks
Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Sunday's NBA lineup:
Pacers vs Cavaliers same-game parlay
Pacers +8.5
Ty Jerome Over 12.5 points
Myles Turner Over 1.5 threes
I’ll go with Ty Jerome to keep things up after posting a couple of 13+ point games. He’s been seeing steady minutes and shooting a ton from inside the arc, where the Pacers have had trouble. With steady volume, he should get here in a fast-paced game.
I also like keeping with the trend we laid out above with the Pacers and 3-pointers. Turner will have an excellent shot to make his presence felt against a frontcourt that struggles to defend the perimeter. On top of that, he’s taken six 3-pointers in three of his last five.

Warriors vs Rockets same-game parlay
Stephen Curry 30 points
Fred VanVleet Over 17.5 points
Steven Adams Over 15.5 points and rebounds
Fred VanVleet has cooked across his last three games, averaging 26.7 points and six triples while shooting 59% from the floor and 66.7% from beyond the arc. He’s been electric from beyond the arc, but he’s excelled at the charity stripe, hitting 16 straight free throws in that span.
VanVleet has been Houston’s best offensive weapon over the last three games, and his team will need him to deliver another strong offensive performance in a pivotal Game 7. This line is set way too low considering his recent heater.
Steven Adams logged a season-high 31 minutes in Game 6 and finished with a season-high 17 points to go with five boards. Dillon Brooks got into some early foul trouble, and Houston rolled with its double-big lineup for most of the second half.
Playing Adams alongside Sengun gives Houston a massive size advantage, and after the success of Game 6, he may see more run in the final game of the series. Houston is +53 with Adams on the court through six games, so there is a real value in getting him on the court more.
