Following a head-to-head battle between Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic on Monday, who will emerge as the betting favorite to win the NBA MVP award? Jon Metler shares two of his favorite NBA same-game parlays for Monday's games using the latest NBA odds.
With the two favorites for the NBA MVP battling it out on Monday, it seemed only fitting to make a same-game parlay featuring both Jokic and Embiid.
Unfortunately, I don't think you'll love one of the bets in the same-game parlay involving the 76ers and Nuggets.
Here are our NBA SGP picks for Monday (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook).

NBA SGP predictions: 76ers vs. Nuggets
Let's go full fun police here and take the Under on Embiid's points prop in a matchup against Jokic, which will most likely determine the NBA MVP. The narrative for Embiid to finish Over his points total against Jokic is definitely there, but I can't take the Over when it's trading at 34.5 points.
I have the Under 34.5 points priced at -160 based on Embiid's projections, and you can bet it on FanDuel at -113.
It only makes sense that Jokic should end up with a few more rebounds if we're rooting for Embiid to miss some shots. It 9;s projected that Jokic will grab 12.8 rebounds against the 76ers, so we can price the Over 11.5 rebounds at -145 instead of the -125 we're seeing at FanDuel.
FanDuel is offering a solid price on the Over for this prop at -125, as it's trading at -140 on PointsBet and -143 at Caesars.
