NBA Same Game Parlay
Los Angeles Lakers vs. New York Knicks
-
- Knicks Moneyline (-130)
- Julius Randle o11.5 Rebounds (-115)
- RJ Barrett o2.5 Threes (+150)
The Knicks are the better of the two teams. Bottom line. Los Angeles continues to garner unwarranted respect in the betting market, and we’ll take advantage of such misjudgments. Even with the return of Anthony Davis (and the trade for Rui Hachimura), the Lakers severely lack depth and will be playing on tired legs in Madison Square Garden tonight.
This month, Randle is averaging 13.8 boards per game and has crossed this number in ten of fourteen games. We love Randle to continue his dominance on the glass here. The Lakers rate 27th in the NBA in Opponent Rebounds, and the Pace they play with should offer the Knicks’ PF plenty of opportunities to cross this threshold.
Here’s where we get juicy. Barrett has been elite from beyond the arc these past ten days, crossing this number in four of five games whilst shooting it at 53.6% from deep. The Lakers’ opponents haven’t shot the three-ball particularly well, but they allow the sixth-most attempts in the NBA.
Parlay Odds: +727

NBA Game Picks
Los Angeles Lakers vs. New York Knicks
The Lakers didn’t play LeBron James or Anthony Davis in their matchup against the Nets. However, those two are expected to play against the Knicks tonight.
The Knicks are dealt a much more difficult hand here. Although the Lakers have lost three of their last four, Los Angeles is competitive with James and Davis on the floor. The Lakers are getting to the foul line at a solid rate throughout the season and limiting turnovers. However,' the Lakers aren’t earning a high rate of offensive rebounds and are taking lower-quality shots than the average team.
The Knicks have done well limiting quality looks, holding teams to an effective field goal percentage of 53.2%. New York won’t get a ton of turnovers and aren’t impressive on the defensive glass, but New York should at least be able to limit the Lakers from getting good looks.
On the other hand, the Knicks probably don’t get enough credit offensively. The Knicks have scored 116.7 points per 100 possessions and limit turnovers at a top-five rate in the NBA. The Knicks earn close to 32% of offensive rebounds and get to the foul line at an above-average rate.
Still, the Lakers have kept teams off the glass well and should at least limit the Knicks on the offensive glass a little bit. Let’s back the Under 231.5 in this one.
Bet: Under 231.5 (-110)

First Basket Scorer
Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Tonight the tipoff could go either way. That means the team to score first will be the most consistent on defense and offense. Currently, that team is the Clippers. When they have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on the basketball court, they are one of the better teams in the NBA. The issue has been keeping them on the court.''
