6 minNBA Playoffs Same-Game Parlay Picks Today: 76ers vs. Celtics, Nuggets vs. Suns
The first round of the NBA Playoffs is officially over. We've seen a bunch of intriguing upsets and exciting matchups.
It's only going to get better in Round 2 of the Playoffs.
Tonight, we've got two Conference Semifinals matchups between the Celtics and 76ers, along with the Nuggets and Suns. The 76ers and Celtics will play the first game of their series, while the Suns and Nuggets will play Game 2 of theirs. Here are a couple of same-game parlays to consider for tonight's NBA matchups.
NBA Same-Game Parlays for Monday
76ers vs. Celtics Same-Game Parlay

- Malcolm Brogdon Over 12.5 Points (-138)
- James Harden Under 6.5 Rebounds (-113)
- Marcus Smart Over 1.5 Threes (-186)
Malcolm Brogdon won the Sixth Man of the Year Award. That's because he averaged nearly 15 points per game this season, mainly coming off the bench. He's scored at least 13 points in nine of his last ten games and 75% of his previous 20 games. He's been the X-Factor for the Celtics and should attempt close to 13 shots per game in this series. That would be enough for him to score 13 points.
Marcus Smart has also come up big for the Celtics. He's nailed at least two threes in nine of his last ten games and 80% of his previous 20 games. Smart only shot 38.5% from three in the first round of the playoffs but hit at least two threes in all but one game.
On the other hand, the 76ers have listed Joel Embiid as doubtful. He's not officially out, and I wouldn't be surprised if he miraculously plays, either. Harden has added only seven threes in two of his last ten games and had five or fewer in three of four games against the Nets in Round 1. Don't rely on Harden to do any dirty work consistently.
Nuggets vs. Suns Same-Game Parlay
3-Leg Same-Game Parlay Odds (+494) (Bet $100 to collect $594) Click here to find out which sportsbook has the best odds for this pick
- Chris Paul Over 13.5 Points (-128)
- Kevin Durant Over 4.5 Assists (-104)
- Devin Booker Over 4.5 Rebounds (-138)
No one thinks of Chris Paul as a premium scorer, especially with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant on the team. But even when Booker and Durant do their thing, Paul should shine offensively. Paul scored 11 points in Game 1 on 5-for-11 from the field. But he added 13.6 points per game in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. He's consistently scoring 14 or more points in three of five games. After missing it in his first game, he'll come alive in the second.
And while I expect Durant and Booker to score at least half of Phoenix's points tonight. I also like them to add some assists and rebounds to the box score. Durant only had one assist in Game 1 against the Nuggets. That's going to change in Game 2. He averaged 6.2 assists per game for the Suns in the first round against the Clippers. He'll need to share the ball and get others involved if the Suns want a chance.
Lastly, Booker has hit at least five rebounds in three of his last five games. He fell one rebound short in Game 1 against the Nuggets. But he'll play over 40 minutes a night and should have more rebounds fall into his lap the longer he's on the floor.
