Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks
Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Tuesday's NBA lineup:
Pacers vs Cavaliers same-game parlay
Ty Jerome Under 14.5 points
Darius Garland Over 17.5 points
Jarrett Allen Over 12.5 points
If Garland does sit, Jerome won’t come anywhere near the 20 shots he took in Game 1. Even if he does get good minutes, the Cavs need him feeding the frontcourt.
Garland would embrace the pace of this Indiana team, and the Pacers have trouble slowing down explosive guards like Garland. Models call for 19 or more.
The Pacers got blasted in the paint, and Jarrett Allen should get his share of touches inside. He’s projected for 14 points in Game 2.

Warriors vs Timberwolves same-game parlay
Jimmy Butler Under 22.5 points
Warriors team total Under 100.5
Timberwolves moneyline
Minnesota amazed even itself with how well it responded to preparation time in last year’s playoffs. The Timberwolves loudly credited that for their defense in the 4-0 sweep of the Suns and then also the 2-0 start on the road against Denver.
Young teams benefit more from practice and preparation than veteran teams do. The younger team needs that emphasis, lacking some of the institutional knowledge and some of the discipline of veterans.
The five days that Minnesota has had off should provide value on its defense, particularly after Golden State just struggled to 103 points in a Game 7 against a lesser defense, not to mention while Steph Curry battles some amount of a thumb injury.
