*Editor's Note: We have something MASSIVE coming your way on oddschecker+ for the Thanksgiving season. Check back for something big*
The NBA Cup is back today for Friday's NBA slate, and I have put together a same-game parlay for it that I am really liking. The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Indiana Pacers tonight in a rematch of last year's playoff series. This time, Giannis should be playing, and more motivated than ever after the events that took place against the Pacers last season. I think this game should be super competitive and a great one to watch! I have a 3-leg same-game parlay that I put together for it. I'm going to dive into each leg and why I am adding it to the parlay.

Pacers vs. Bucks Same Game Parlay
Leg 1: Giannis Antetokounmpo 30+ Points
I like Giannis to have a huge game tonight so it's only right that I take him for 30 or more points. He has dominated in this matchup in the past, going for at least 30 points in five of the last six matchups. He also has gone for 30 or more points in six of the last eight home games this season. The matchup really suits his play style, as Indiana has not been a good paint defense this season or last. They are allowing the 5th-most points to opposing power forwards and the 4th most points in the restricted area. Given the motivation I expect from Giannis, I would be surprised if he doesn't produce in this game.
Leg 2: Giannis Antetokounmpo 13+ Rebounds
The 2nd leg of the parlay is going to be Giannis to record at least 13 rebounds. Giannis has seen 21+ rebound chances in five of the last six matchups with Indiana which is absurd. In his last 14 games with at least 18 rebound chances, he has gone over 12.5 rebounds in 12 of the last 14 games. If he continues to see those rebound chances, he should be able to hit this number fairly easily. Luckily, this is a great rebounding matchup again. The Pacers are allowing the 3rd most rebounds on the season to opposing power forwards, and the most over the last seven days. With Myles Turner pulling Brook Lopez out of the paint a lot, Giannis should be able to grab a ton of rebounds.
Leg 3: Tyrese Haliburton 4+ Threes
The last leg of today's parlay is for Tyrese Haliburton to make four or more 3's. Haliburton has had a disappointing start to the season, but his 3-point volume has been fairly consistent as of late. He has taken 8+ 3-point attempts in five of the last six games. Last season against Milwaukee, he averaged 8.54 3-point attempts in 11 games played. With Brook Lopez in a drop a lot, Haliburton should be able to take advantage like he has in the past and I expect to see 8+ attempts once again. The Bucks have allowed the 5th most 3's to opposing point guards on the season.
