It’s a busy night in the NBA with 26 teams taking the floor and we have ourselves yet another ESPN double-header.
The Nets travel to Beantown to take on the Celtics and it’s live at 7:30 pm ET. Our same-game parlay includes some of the best bets we have picked out for tonight’s game.
Let’s focus on the Nets and Celtics!
Kevin Durant 3+ made threes (+164)
James Harden over 8.5 assists (-110)
Jayson Tatum over 27.5 total points (-114)
Parlay odds: +767
Kevin Durant 3+ made threes (+164)
Durant’s 3-point shooting has been stellar this month, he has upped his percentage from 37.9% in October to 44% in November. He has drained 3 shots from deep in 3 of 7 road games this month and for the season he is attempting 4.1 per game. Boston isn’t really all that good when it comes to defending the perimeter, they allow teams to shoot 34.3% from 3-point land which ranks 15th in the NBA. Brooklyn is the No. 1 3-point team in the NBA, scoring on 37.6% of their attempts. In road games that number goes up to 41.3% and the main reason behind that is the play of Kevin Durant. This bet is just too good to pass up.

James Harden over 8.5 assists (-110)
James Harden has collected 103 assists in 11 November games at an average of 9.3 per game. His scoring has taken a bit of a hit with the new rule changes, but luckily for us when his shot isn’t falling Harden focuses on dishing it to his teammates. He’s coming off a 14-assist game against the Cavaliers last night which was his season-high. In last season’s playoffs he averaged 10.6 assists in 5 games against the Celtics. If the Nets want to stand a chance tonight, Harden will have to get everyone involved. Brooklyn has won every single time this season when Harden dished out double-digit assists.
Jayson Tatum over 27.5 total points (-114)
Tatum has been Boston’s best player this season, even though his efficiency has dipped a bit. He’s averaged 25.7 points per game, but over his last 4 games he has scored 30, 33, 37 and 34 points. In 3 of those 4 games he has drained at least 4 shots from deep, including a 6-for-12 night against the Thunder two games ago. With Jaylen Brown back in the line-up, some of the Nets’ attention of defense will have to go to him, which benefits Tatum here. In his last 3 games against Brooklyn, Tatum has scored 32, 40 and 50 points. Fingers crossed he has one more special performance in him to land our parlay.
