Brooklyn Nets vs Milwaukee Bucks Single Game Parlay
The Brooklyn Nets are 3.5 point home favorites with a total set at 225.5. This is an elite matchup between two teams who figure to battle for a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals.
This is a big game with a tight spread, so the stars should shine and we should avoid a blowout. It’s been a while since we did a same game parlay, so I’m going wrap up the three biggest scorers into one tonight.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has scored 25 points or more in 22 of 26 games this season for a 85% success rate. Durant and Irving have shared the court 22 times this season and Durant scored 25+ in 18 of those games while Irving scored 20+ 19 of those games.
The Bucks control the paint which opens up outside opportunities for Irving and Durant. All three players cleared their respective point total in the last four games they shared the court. Put all three together for +100 odds!!
Same Game Parlay:
Giannis Antetokounmpo 25+ Points
Kevin Durant 25+ Points
Kyrie Irving 20+ Points
