Can the Milwaukee Bucks push their winning streak to 12 games on Thursday against the Chicago Bulls? Jon Metler shares three of his favorite NBA same-game parlays for Thursday's games using the latest NBA odds.
While there may be concerns about teams mailing it in before the NBA All-Star break, I don't get that vibe from the Milwaukee Bucks.
I believe the Bucks are now focused on securing the No. 1 seed and a relatively smooth path to the NBA Finals after the Brooklyn Nets traded Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant to the Western Conference.
It's our last set of NBA games that we can bet on until next Thursday, so don't miss out on these NBA same game parlays.
Here are our NBA SGP picks for Thursday (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook).

NBA SGP predictions: Bucks vs. Bulls
Do you really believe Antetokounmpo is going to walk into Michael Jordan's house on a Thursday night on TNT and not drop a 30 piece on the Chicago Bulls? It may seem like a lot to ask for 30 points on an alternate total, but Antetokounmpo has scored 30-plus points in nine of his last 10 games, and he's projected to score 33.8 points on Thursday.
In his last meeting with the Bulls, Antetokounmpo grabbed 22 rebounds. Granted the game went into overtime, but we're not hoping for 22 rebounds on Thursday. Antetokoumpo will grab 13.6 rebounds against the Bulls according to the projections. This is in line with how FanDuel is trading his rebounding prop, with the Over 13.5 priced at +104.
Holiday just torched the Boston Celtics for 40 points on Tuesday, and he's had at least 15 points in nine of his last 10 games. Holiday will face a tired Bulls defense after suffering an emotional loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Holiday is projected to score 20.1 points against the Bulls, which is slightly more than his FanDuel total of 19.5 points.
In a game against the Pacers on Wednesday, Vucevic only grabbed seven rebounds, his first time missing the 8-plus rebounding prop in 25 games. Although Vucevic didn't earn the green check mark against the Pacers, I expect a different outcome on Thursday, as he's projected to grab 12.1 rebounds and surpass his FanDuel total of 11.5 rebounds.
NBA SGP predictions: Wizards vs. Timberwolves
With this line on Thursday, the books are showing no respect for Gobert, who just grabbed 14 boards against the Dallas Mavericks. Gob ert's rebounding prop was used in our same-game parlay on Monday, and we'll be using it again on Thursday. The alternate total of 10-plus rebounds should trade at -400 against the Washington Wizards, as Gobert is projected to grab 13.3 rebounds
If we're using a teaser leg on Beal, I feel more comfortable asking him to get 15-plus points instead of 20-plus points because he either drops 30 points or ends up just below 20 points. Beal is projected to score 25.7 points against the Timberwolves, well above the 15-plus points we require for a green check mark. Based on this projection, we can price Beal at -1340 to score 15 or more points.
Kuzma is always a sneaky good addition to these teaser parlays since he's such a consistent rebounder. We also see an edge in Kuzma's prices on Thursday in addition to being consistent. The price I have for Kuzma to grab six or more rebounds is -375, based o n his projection of 8.1 boards.
Gobert has much better chemistry with Mike Conley than he did with D'Angelo Russell, from their time together in Utah, which leads to more easy buckets for him. It's not the most thrilling prop, but it's one of our biggest edges in this parlay. I have Gobert priced at -775 to score at least 10 points in Thursday's game against the Wizards.
NBA SGP predictions: Clippers vs. Suns
While Booker hasn't played more than 30 minutes in either of his last two games, he has still managed to score at least 20 points in both of them. Booker has a points total of 23.5 at FanDuel against the Los Angeles Clippers, and I expect Booker to go Over that total since his projections have him scoring 25.6 points.
The price you're getting on George scoring 15-plus points against the Suns is easily my favo rite leg of this parlay. George is projected to score 24.7 points against the Suns, so this prop should be trading at -910 instead of -650.
If you follow me on Twitter, you know I love to play Over on Paul's assists prop, but on Thursday we're looking at his points instead. I love backing players with extra motivation outside of the numbers, and that's definitely what we have with Paul against his former team. It's projected that Paul will score 16.3 points on Thursday, which is higher than his FanDuel total of 15.5 points.
Ayton has grabbed eight or more rebounds in nine of his last 10 games, averaging 11.5 rebounds per game during this time. Since Ayton is expected to reach this average on Thursday, the alternate total of 8-plus rebounds should trade at -660, so you're getting a fair price.
