Round 2 Same Game Parlay Picks for Round of 32
Leg 1 – Furman +5.5 (-110)'
The Furman Paladins upset the Virginia Cavaliers and are now in the Round of 32.
They needed a couple things to go their way in the final seconds but were able to earn an enormous upset over the Cavaliers.
Now they’re looking to get into the Sweet 16. They’ve got a similar matchup against San Diego State. The Aztecs are very good defensively and slightly above-average on offense.
Furman is shooting 34.4% from three and 58.7% from inside the arc. Meanwhile, San Diego State is only shooting 34.2% from three and 49.4% from inside the arc.
It’s going to be a bit harder for Furman to score. Another game in the 60’s would make sense between these two teams. Furman’s defense isn’t tremendous inside, but the Paladins are at least good enough on the glass to keep the Aztecs from earning a lot of second chances. I’ll take Furman with the points.
Leg 2 – Under 137.5 (-110)'
San Diego State has held teams to 28.9% from downtown this season. Furman is shooting 34.4% from three an relies on taking a bunch of threes. The Paladins will make some, as we saw against Virignia. But overall, San Diego State should be able to get some stops and will limit fouls and offensive rebounds to make things harder on the Paladins.
Meanwhile, San Diego State will take fewer threes and might get to the foul line more. Second chances will still be hard to come by but turnovers will be limited. The Aztecs will use more time per possession than Furman and likely try to slow the game down to slow Furman’s offense down.
I’ll take the Under in this game.
Leg 3 – Jalen Slawson Over 12.5 Points (-125)
Slawson is the second-leading scorer on the Paladins. He’s added 15.8 points per game but his line is sitting at 12.5.
Over the last three games, Slawson has earned at least 15 points while taking at least nine shots. Slawson added 20 points against Virginia after the team scored just 68 points. He’ll be just as good against San Diego State tonight. The game can still go under with Slawson adding 13 points.
Parlay Odds: +514
Leg 1 – Duke -3.5 (-105)'
The Duke Blue Devils haven’t played well all year long. But they’ve figured it out over the last two months.
Everyone’s talking about Tennessee’s defense. As they should. The Vols have held teams to 26.4% from three and 44.5% from inside the arc throughout the season.
