It’s only a three-game slate in the NBA tonight, but we have ourselves a NBA TNT double-header!
The Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks square off at 7:30 pm ET, followed by the Portland Trail Blazers and LA Clippers capping off the night at 10 pm ET.
Let’s look at our same-game parlay on the Bucks vs Sixers game.
Seth Curry over 15.5 points (-104)
Andre Drummond over 15.5 rebounds (+100)
Giannis Antetokounmpo 30+ points (+106)
Parlay odds: +674
Seth Curry over 15.5 points (-104)
The 76ers have been hit hard by injuries and a Covid outbreak which forced coach Doc Rivers to use just 8 players in last night’s defeat against New York. Without their two top scorers, Philadelphia had issues all night and barely made it to 96 points. Under these circumstances I expect Curry to get a bigger role on the offense. He played 41 minutes last night and took only 10 shots. I think that number should go up to at least 15 tonight with 7 or 8 threes attempted. A lethal shooter from deep, Curry is averaging 16.8 points per game, which is the 3rd-most on the team behind Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris. He went over 15.5 points in 3 of his last 5 games and has already had 5 games of 20 or more points this season.

Andre Drummond over 15.5 rebounds (+100)
Last night Drummond became the first Philadelphia 76ers player since Charles Barkley in 1987 to record 25 rebounds in a game. This probably would not have happened if the 76ers had a healthier team, but right now they simply don’t have enough big bodies available to play, so it feels like Drummond is catching every rebound. Going against Giannis will be tough at times, but Milwaukee will also be without their starting center, Brook Lopez, so that helps our bet. Drummond will most likely be the only available center for Philadelphia in tonight’s game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo to score 30+ points (+106)
Embiid not playing leaves a big gap in the middle for the Sixers, and Giannis will know how to take advantage. Plus he will also saves a ton of energy not having to deal with him on the defensive end. With 2 of his co-stars out for the majority of the season so far, the 2-time MVP is still averaging the 3rd-most points in the NBA and shooting over 50% from the field. Getting back Jrue Holiday for this game will definitely be a boost for him, as their pick-and-roll combination is one of the tougher ones to guard in the NBA. Look for Giannis to go to work against the heavily depleted Sixers.
