Here are today’s best NBA bets.

NBA Same Game Parlay

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Atlanta Hawks

    • Leg 1: Dejounte Murray Over 19.5 Points (-111)
    • Leg 2: Trae Young Over 2.5 Rebounds (+106)
    • Leg 3: John Collins Over .5 Threes (-280)'

Dejounte Murray is going off right now. He’s hit at least 20 points in seven straight games. On the season, he’s nailed 20 or more points in 59% of games, and over the last 20 games, he’s scored 20 points in 60% of games. Don’t try to fix what’s not broken. Murray is dominating right now.

Meanwhile, Trae Young isn’t known for his rebounding. But his rebound prop is a little bit low at 2.5. Young has hit three rebounds in three straight games and four of his last five games. He’s on the floor so much that the ball will eventually find him here and there.

Lastly, John Collins has averaged 1.2 threes per game in January. We can add his line in here to finish up the parlay. He’s nailed at least one three in each of his last five games and eight of his last ten.

Let’s rely on the Atlanta Hawks to help us get parlay one out of the way.

Parlay Odds: +429

NBA Game Picks

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston Celtics

The Knicks-Nets rivalry is fun. But there’s nothing like the Lakers-Celtics rivalry. The history between these two teams is incredible.

Boston, again, is coming off a loss to the Knicks. But the Celtics clawed back in that game to even get overtime in the first place. Boston has lost three straight games, but with a home game against a below .500 Lakers team, the Celtics should be able to get back on track.

The Celtics have held teams to 24% offensive rebounds this season. That’s the top rate in the NBA on the defensive end. Meanwhile, the Lakers aren’t very active on the glass and probably won’t get many second chances. The Lakers are above average at getting to the foul line, but the Celtics also lead the NBA in defensive free throw rate.

On the flip side, the Celtics won’t dominate the offensive glass either and can limit turnovers just as well. The Lakers are also limiting foul shots this season and are still holding opponents to a 54.4% effective field goal percentage.

This game should be a bit closer. Boston knocked off the Lakers, 122-118, in overtime the last time they faced. But I still like the Under 236 in this matchup and think neither team gets close to 120.

Bet: Under 236 (-110)'
