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:
Knicks vs Celtics same-game parlay
Celtics team total Over 111.5 points
Kristaps Porzingis 7+ rebounds
Derrick White 5+ assists
The Celtics will get more space on the outside and throw plenty of firepower at a New York defense with glaring holes.
Kristaps Porzingis is a nightmare matchup and will hit the glass for seven or more boards, including some offensive rebounds.
Derrick White’s projections hover around five assists, and he averaged six dimes in the matchups with the Knicks in the regular season.

Nuggets vs Thunder same-game parlay
Thunder -9.5
Nuggets team total Under 107.5
Peyton Watson Over 3.5 points
Do not underestimate the reality of this rest advantage. It looms larger for the Nuggets than it would for most teams. They should pick their moments to win games in this series, and if a game is lost, do not sacrifice a chance in another game in hopes of a heroic comeback.
That may sound defeatist, but it's mostly pragmatic.
That should lead to packing it in relatively early in Game 1, putting the Denver bench in, including seventh-man Peyton Watson.
