Today, we will create a same-game parlay for this highly anticipated New York Knicks and Boston Celtics matchup to tip off the NBA season.
Last night, we smacked another +800 same-game parlay in the NFL. That means we have cashed a +1100 SGP and a +800 SGP in the last 48 hours.
Before we dive into my Knicks vs. Celtics FanDuel Same Game Parlay, let's briefly look at this matchup.
The Celtics and Knicks were the two best teams in the Eastern Conference last season.
Boston posted a 64-18 record a season ago on their way to an NBA title. The Celtics' 64 wins were the most wins since the 2007-2008 season.
Jayson Tatum led the squad last season with 26.9 points per game. Jaylen Brown led the team in the postseason, claiming his first NBA finals MVP.
Boston comes into this contest as a 5.5-point favorite.
New York will look to get their season off to a strong start tonight as last season was the Knicks' best season since 2007. The Knicks come into the 2024 season viewed as NBA Championship contenders.
In the offseason, New York was extremely active as they traded for Mikal Bridges and Karl Anthony Towns.Now, the Knicks' new starting five is amongst the strongest in the NBA.
Jalen Brunson was the star of the team last season with 28.7 points per game. Towns averaged 19.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game with the Timberwolves last season.

FanDuel Same Game Parlay - New York Knicks vs. Boston Celtics
4- Leg Parlay (+1056 Odds @ FanDuel)
Leg 1: Jalen Brunson Under 28.5 Points
Brunson led the team in scoring a season ago, but in the first game of the season, I love the value of his under tonight.
The former Villanova standout will distribute the ball at a high clip tonight in the season opener. The addition of Towns and Bridges will take shots away from Brunson and his point total will suffer.
Leg 2: Karl Anthony Towns Over 21.5 Points
The big man will make his Knicks debut tonight and I'm sure he's going to be looking to make a statement. Towns is one of the best-shooting big men in the NBA and will fit perfectly into this Knicks' lineup.
The pick-and-roll game with Brunson will be among the best in the NBA and I think Boston will struggle to slow down Towns tonight.
Leg 3: Jayson Tatum Over 8.5 Rebounds
We are getting great value on this prop at plus money.
Tatum will see extremely high usage tonight and is one of the best rebounders at his position in the NBA. The 26-year-old averaged 9.7 rebounds per game last season.
Leg 4: Jalen Brunson Over 7.5 Assists
As mentioned, I expect Brunson to distribute the basketball tonight and get his teammates involved.
Brunson averaged 7.5 assists per game a season ago and will have plenty of opportunities to exceed this total tonight.
Let's start the season with a win tonight!
