Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks
Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Wednesday's NBA lineup:
Knicks vs Celtics same-game parlay
Jrue Holiday Over 3.5 assists
Jaylen Brown 20+ points
Kristaps Porzingis 7+ rebounds
Holiday is at the wheel of this Celtics offense, which will shoot much better in Game 2 and makes the most of his set-ups.
Jaylen Brown’s projections are north of 20 points. He still scored 23 points despite a horrible night from beyond the arc.
Kristaps Porzingis was under the weather in Game 1 but still pulled down four rebounds in 13 minutes. I like him to have seven or more boards in Game 2.

Nuggets vs Thunder same-game parlay
Nikola Jokic Over 13.5 rebounds
Nikola Jokic Under 1.5 threes
Thunder moneyline
Jokic does not shoot as well against Oklahoma City. He went 2 of 6 from deep in Game 1, now 7-for-28 against the Thunder this season. As much as you might focus on that 25%, realize it is worse than it seems.
For context, Jokic hit 42.5% of his threes against everyone else this regular season. Holmgren and Hartenstein might not be up to take Jokic’s body blows, but Holmgren, in particular, can contest his perimeter shots.
Betting on Oklahoma City to win this game is simply a stressor worth enduring. The Thunder should keep Game 2 from ever reaching clutch time.
