Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks
Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Thursday's NBA lineup:
Bucks vs Pacers same-game parlay (SGP)
Pacers first half/full-time double result
T.J. McConnell Over 3.5 assists
Myles Turner Over 2.5 made threes
As Jon Metler points out, T.J. McConnell’s stat line was robbed on Tuesday by teammates missing shots. He logged only three assists despite handing out seven potential assists. Role players tend to shoot better at home, so they should reward T.J. McConnell more tonight.
Myles Turner is much more than a role player, but his shooting suffered similarly. He has gone 4 of 13 (30.8%) from deep in Indiana’s two road losses in this series but 14 of 25 (56%) in the three wins. If trusting the Pacers to lead at the end of both halves tonight, then it should be assumed Turner plays a part in that.

Knicks vs 76ers same-game parlay (SGP)
Joel Embiid Over 41.5 points + rebounds
Kyle Lowry Over 3.5 assists
Josh Hart Over 11.5 rebounds
The Over on the Kyle Lowry assists prop was a winner in my Game 5 SGP and I’m going back to the well here, with the line sitting at 3.5 again.
Lowry had five dimes on Tuesday after a seven-assist display in Game 4, and the 76ers are going to need another ball-handler to take some of the strain off Maxey. After only logging 26 minutes in Game 5, Lowry should at least be relatively fresh.
The Knicks have dominated on the boards in this series, lapping Philadelphia in second-chance points and cashing in on the 76ers’ lack of size behind Embiid. Josh Hart has been one of the biggest beneficiaries, and there’s every chance that he plays the full 48 minutes tonight.
Hart is averaging 12 rebounds per game in this series and he’s had 13 or more in three of the five contests. Give me the Over here.
