4 minNBA Cup Parlay: Can Derrick White, Jalen Duren Step up Defensively in NBA Cup Group Stage?
We have the first day of NBA Cup games today and I have put together a defensive prop parlay for it that I am really liking. It consists of three different legs from three different games, and I am going to break down each leg and why I have added it to the parlay below. Let's cash a parlay tonight!
Tuesday NBA Cup Parlay Picks
Leg 1: Derrick White 1+ Steal
The first leg I am taking is for Celtics guard Derrick White to get at least 1 steal. White gets a great matchup vs the Atlanta Hawks. The Celtics are 15-point home favorites and should win this game with ease. The Hawks are without Trae Young too so we could see their turnovers increase with him out of the lineup. This season so far the Hawks have allowed the 9th most steals. Derrick White has a steal in four straight games vs Atlanta and in nine of 11 games so far this season. In Home Wins by 10+ Points, White has recorded a steal in 21 of the last 24 games. I'm expecting him to have zero issues clearing this prop!
Leg 2: Kyle Lowry 1+ Steal
The next leg of the parlay is Kyle Lowry to record a steal. He has recorded a steal in seven of the last eight games with 11 total steals. He has a steal in six of the last eight games vs. the Knicks with 21+ minutes played. The Knicks aren't the perfect matchup, but they have allowed the 11th-most steals to opposing point guards this season, so I do think he will be able to continue his steals streak in this matchup!
Leg 3: Jalen Duren 1+ Block
To round out the parlay, I am taking Jalen Duren for 1+ Block against the Miami Heat. Duren has a block in six of seven games this season when he plays 18+ minutes including a 3-block game vs the Heat. He has had success in this matchup overall as he now has a block in six of his last seven games vs the Heat. The Heat have allowed the 9th-most blocks overall this season, so I think Duren will be able to keep his blocks trend alive tonight in this matchup.
