Let’s turn to Saturday night’s late slate for today’s NBA parlay picks. We’ve got a pair of not-so-exciting games: the Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors vs. the Victor Wembanyama-less San Antonio Spurs at 8:30 p.m., then the Scottie Barnes-less Toronto Raptors at the Scoot Henderson-less Portland Trail Blazers. Most of my action is just straight how-to guide here!
NBA Parlay Bet Today: Picks for Jeremy Sochan & More
Leg #1: Kelly Olynyk u7.5 RBD | NBA Parlay Bet Today
Journeyman center Kelly Olynyk arrived in Toronto at the trade deadline and was quickly signed to a sizeable extension. Now with both Scottie Barnes and Jakob Poeltl sidelined, he’ll have to step up in a big way for Toronto.
But despite Olynyk’s increased playing time, the rebounds just haven’t been there for him. Over Toronto’s last three games, the first of which saw Poeltl go down with an injury, Olynyk has just 14 rebounds — good for 4.7 per game!
The Trail Blazers aren’t a bad matchup for Olynyk, as they have allowed the eighth-most rebounds per game to centers (15.2), but his total is trading at a whopping 7.5 rebounds!
Since ing the Raptors, Olynyk has gone for eight or more rebounds just once while staying under this line 10 times. He may have beaten this line versus Portland three times this year, but he did so with a different team, and we’re getting too good a price to up.
Leg #2: Jeremy Sochan u12.5 PTS
Jeremy Sochan and the Spurs are sizeable dogs to the Curry-less Warriors in this spot. Sochan is averaging only 11.3 points per game this year, and while you’d expect to see more from him as a scorer when Victor Wembanyama sits, we haven’t seen that yet this year. He is averaging just 11.1 points per game without the superstar rookie.
Sochan’s points prop is trading at 12.5, which is above both his season average and his average without Wembanyama. Further, it’s a mark Sochan failed to even approach in his last game against the Warriors — he scored just seven points in that one!
Other books are being far less generous with Sochan’s under today, so take advantage of the -105 available at BetMGM before it disappears.
