The fine people at TNT are bringing us two NBA games back to back tonight so the least we can do is get down on them. The first one will be at 7:30pm ET when the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Boston Celtics in Boston. That is where we will look for our same game parlay tonight. There are edges to be found if you just look hard enough and we may have one here. At +1142, it’s hard not to at least take a stab.

Jayson Tatum to record 3+ made threes (+110)
It seems crazy to take this many Celtics to make three-pointers but is it? Over past 10 games, no team in the NBA has attempted more three-pointers than Boston. They are full-on chuck and duck so why not take advantage. Jayson Tatum has taken at least seven and as many as 12 threes in his last six games. He’s drained a minimum of three of those attempts in five out of six of those games. He’s a great place to start tonight.
Kemba Walker to record 2+ made threes (-330)
Next up is Kemba Walker. The price tag on this one is a little hefty, but it’s for good reason. He’s taken at least six three-pointers in each of his last ten games. Even better, he’s made at least two of them in all ten games. The Celtics are averaging 16.8 made threes per game over their last ten games. If they get to that number tonight, it is a very safe bet that Kemba Walker has at least two of this makes.
Jaylen Brown to record 3+ made threes (+108)
It’s crazy that Jaylen Brown’s price for just three makes is at +108 being that he’s done it in eight out of his last nine games. He’s averaging nine attempts per game over that span which is the type of volume we want to see from a bet like this. Philadelphia does a decent job of covering the perimeter as they are middle of the pack in the association in three-point defense. They can be had though, as they just allowed the Grizzlies to drill 42% of their threes last game. If the Celtics are just average, Jaylen Brown should make at least three.
Danny Green to record 3+ made threes (+122)
The Celtics are not the only ones making it rain lately as Danny Green is too. In his lat 10 games, Green has attempted 78 three-pointers. He has hit at least three in eight of those ten games. There is concern that with Joel Embiid back, Green won’t get as many shots but just the other night against the Timberwolves, Green was able to reach this number in only 27 minutes. He is the 76ers undisputed three-point specialist and they should need him tonight.
