It's do or die for several teams tonight, and we've got NBA same-game parlay picks for each of tonight's matchups as the Bucks and 76ers try to stave off elimination — can one of them defy the NBA playoff odds? — while one of the Cavs or Cavaliers will seize command of their 4 vs. 5 bout.

Tonight's NBA same-game parlay picks

Our betting experts have scoured through today's NBA odds to find your best SGP bets for Tuesday's NBA lineup:

76ers vs Knicks same-game parlay (SGP)

OG Anunoby Over 20.5 points + rebounds

Kyle Lowry Over 3.5 assists

Knicks moneyline

I’m continuing the ex-Toronto Raptors theme by taking the Over on Kyle Lowry’s assist total tonight. Lowry had seven dimes on Sunday, and he’s much happier in the facilitator role these days, despite pouring in 18 points in Game 1.

Nick Nurse knows he can trust Lowry in big spots, and that points to a key role in this elimination game. With Embiid questionable and Tyrese Maxey sure to be attracting a crowd, Lowry’s playmaking could be the X-factor as Philly tries to keep the series alive.

But I’m still riding with the Knicks. Though their starters logged monster minutes in Game 4, a fired-up MSG crowd and more Brunson magic feels like a formula for New York stamping its ticket to the second round.

At this stage, it seems like a safer bet to rely on the Knicks’ role players than on meaningful moments from Tobias Harris or Buddy Hield.

Magic vs Cavaliers same-game parlay (SGP)

Gary Harris Over 5.5 points 

Harris Over 1.5 assists

Paolo Banchero Over 21.5 points

I was highlighting the decreased minutes and production in Games 3 and 4 for Harris and how it was adjusting his points total down, but I don't think it's an accurate representation of his role on this Magic squad.

It was more of a byproduct of the score in each game. With that being said, you're seeing value on the Over for several of Harris' props on Tuesday, and it's why I'm going to pair the Over on his assists total with the Over on his points total. I just believe his minutes will be higher than how he is being priced.

If Harris is on the floor for 30+ minutes, knocking down shots and hitting the Over on his part of this SGP, that means he will also be spacing the floor for Banchero. If Banchero has more room to operate in the lane, thanks to Harris, he should have an easier time hitting the Over on his points total.

Pacers vs Bucks same-game parlay (SGP)

Pacers -4

T.J. McConnell Over 3.5 assists

Brook Lopez Over 15.5 points

The busted Bucks gave all they had left in Game 4, and it wasn’t enough. The Pacers put away this series tonight.

T.J. McConnell could get extra run with Tyrese Haliburton hurting. He’s projected for closer to five dimes in Game 5.

Meanwhile, Lopez is one of the only healthy bodies left for the Bucks. The center's 18 shots in Game 4 tied a season high, and he could have eclipsed 27 points if he hit any of his four free throws.
