The Philadelphia 76ers probably wish Wednesday night’s showdown against the Golden State Warriors was a potential NBA Finals preview, but that likely isn’t the case. While Golden State is the best team in the Western Conference (and the entire league), Philadelphia – for various reasons – doesn’t look anywhere near the same in the East. Let’s take a look at the best same game parlay option for 76ers vs Warriors, and also be sure to check out our full game preview for picks on the side and total.
Warriors -10.5 (-110)
Andrew Wiggins to score 20+ points (+120)
Draymond Green over 7.5 assists (+116)
Parlay odds: +626
Part of the value in same game parlays, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is the entire plan here, as Andrew Wiggins pouring in points and Draymond Green dishing out assists left and right would obviously work well with a Golden State win and cover. Let’s break down each of the three legs one by one.
Warriors -10.5 (-110)
Since Joel Embiid landed on the injury report due to COVID health and safety protocols, Philadelphia is 2-6. Golden State is 15-2 overall to begin the 2021-22 campaign, having taken only an overtime loss to Memphis and a road setback against Charlotte. Over their last eight games without Embiid in the lineup, the 76ers rank 26th in the league in net rating — having been outscored by 5.5 points per 100 possessions. Adding insult to injury (or vice versa) Seth Curry, Danny Green, and Tobias Harris are questionable. This is one of those games in which the Sixers would probably get blown out anyway, so they might as well use it as a rest day for their best players. Regardless, it will be extremely difficult for Philly to be competitive against the best team in the NBA. Golden State is led by the MVP frontrunner Stephen Curry, who is averaging 28.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game.
Andrew Wiggins to score 20+ points (+120)
Both Wiggins and Jordan Poole have emerged as legitimate contributors — each averaging 18.4 ppg or better per night. They are big reasons why the Warriors are the NBA’s best even in the absence of Klay Thompson (who appears to be close to returning, but it won’t be tonight). Wiggins has scored in double figures in every single game this season and his two most recent point totals are 27 and 32. Given how big of a blowout this could be, Curry may not have to log a ton of minutes, giving Wiggins all the more reason to score even more.
Draymond Green over 7.5 assists (+116)
More rest than usual for Curry would also allow Green to facilitate the offense for a longer period of time. Of course, the former Michigan State standout could exceed this assist quota simply by dishing the rock to Curry and letting the Davidson product rain threes. Green has recorded at least 8 assists in 3 consecutive contests, including 14 against Cleveland last Thursday. He has also reached the 8 mark in 8 of the last 13 outings.
