There are 3 games on the NBA slate tonight people. That’s it. It hardly seems fair but it is what it is. We have to just dig deep and see what we can do about it. The first thing I though of was a same game parlay with the Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets. It’s on TNT at 7:30pm ET so you know we’re all watching it. What else would we all be doing? All we have to do is find 2 player props and tie them together. How hard is that?
Let’s take a look at the best options for this showdown and don’t forget to check out our full game previews for picks on the sides and totals of all the NBA games tonight. As always, follow me on Twitter just in case there are more NBA player props to bet.
Steph Curry (Warriors) 35+ points (+205)
James Harden (Nets) 12+ assists (+310)
Parlay odds: +987
Steph Curry (Warriors) 35+ points (+205)
The Golden State Warriors are pretty much just Stephen Curry these days. That’s just a scientific fact. But it’s fine. I always say, if you’re going to be a 1-trick pony, just make sure it’s a good trick. This game feels like one of those Christmas Day games where the superstars just go off. We have all kinds of narratives at play which I love. My favorite of all of them is the “Nets’ defense is elite” narrative thought. It’s not TMZ worthy but it’s one that might affect this line. Sure they might be good but they’re last 3 games were against the Thunder, Pelicans and Magic. The last time they actually played someone they got smoked by the Chicago Bulls. DeMar DeRozan hung 28 that night. Given all the drama surrounding the Curry and Kevin Durant, I bet Curry puts an emphasis on scoring (like always). If this stays competitive, Curry could easily see 35+.

James Harden (Nets) 12+ assists (+310)
This guy may have lost his scoring touch with the new rule changes but he hasn’t lost the ability to drop dimes. It’s crazy really. He’s currently second in the NBA averaging 9.3 per game but he’s topped double digits in his last 3. He’s gone for at least 12 in 2 of those 3 with the lone exception being against Orlando when he only played 29 minutes due to a blowout. I don’t see a blowout happening tonight and I do think Kevin Durant will lead the Nets in scoring. Only 49.4% of his field goals are assisted but that’s fine with me as long as Harden is the 1 assisting. I like this parlay tonight and it shouldn’t be +987.
