Best NBA Parlays Today: Picks, Predictions for Tuesday's Gamesiv class=”bodyContent col-lg-9 mb-3″>

Having blamed himself for the Los Angeles Lakers' loss to the New York Knicks, will Anthony Davis light it up against the New Orleans Pelicans? Jon Metler shares three of his favorite NBA same-game parlays for Tuesday's games using the latest NBA odds. 

Davis is a crucial player for us with a straight bet in our NBA best bets and an alternate total in our same-game parlays. However, he's not the only player we're placing some faith in Tuesday. 

Here are our NBA SGP picks for Tuesday (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook).

NBA SGP predictions: Lakers vs. Pelicans

In my NBA best bets, I used Davis Over 26.5 points as a straight bet, but at FanDuel, Davis' player prop is trading with higher juice than what we could buy at BetMGM. Therefore, I'm opting to use an alternate total here in the same game parlay to increase our edge. 

With Davis projected to score 28.9 points against the Pelicans, the alternate total of 30-plus points should trade at +125 instead of +155. Our expected value is 13%, which is higher than if we played the Over on Davis' 26.5 points at -125. 

Murphy scored 41 points a gainst the Trail Blazers on Sunday, so the sportsbooks need to increase his points total to prevent an influx of Over money – and I'm taking advantage. 

Murphy is projected to score 14.6 points, far below his total of 16.5 points, and if an alternative total were available, I would also consider betting on it. Using this projection, we can establish a price of -180 for Murphy to go Under his total of 16.5 points, while FanDuel offers it at -118. 

NBA SGP predictions: Nets vs. Thunder

When I wrote the NBA best bets Tuesday morning, I found Johnson at Over 16.5 (-105) via BetMGM – and although the juice is a bit higher at FanDuel, it still represents good value at -111. The fact that we're still able to purchase this at 16.5 points surprises me a little, I thought it would be trading at 17.5 by mid-afternoon. It's moving, but at a slower pace than I expected.

I have Johnson priced at -140 to go over his total of 16.5 points, which means that at -111, this wager has a positive expected value of 11%.

FanDuel is offering the best price on the market for this prop at +116, while BetRivers and Caesars are trading it at +104, but the real kicker here is that this prop shouldn't even be trading at a plus price. 

Gilgeous-Alexander is projected to drop exactly six dimes, so the Over 5.5 should be trading at -115, not +116. We're not only receiving the best price on the market with this prop via FanDuel, but we're also seeing a significant edge based on our projections. 

NBA SGP predictions: Knicks vs. Trail Blazers

Randle scored 33 points in his last appearance, leading the Knicks to a victory over the Lakers – but he's still struggling with his three-point shooting, and 29.5 points is a massive total even without injured teammate Jalen Brunson (foot). 

There's no doubt that you'll be sweating this bet until the very end because Randle has a crazy “spurtability” when it comes to scoring. Randle is projected to score 28.3 points, so we can price the Under 29.5 points at -135

While I regret supporting this bet given my Bobby Portis for 6th Man of the Year future ticket, it appears to be a Quickley type night for the Knicks. Quickley's price feels like stealing when you consider that the Over 19.5 is being traded at -132 at Caesars and -120 at DraftKings. 

With Quickley projected to score 20.5 points, the Over 19.5 should trade closer to -115 than -106. Since Quickley trades for a price with much more juice (-132) than ours at other sportsbooks, this edge is limited to building this same-ga me parlay at FanDuel.
