Nets vs. Bucks Same-Game Parlay: Can Damian Lillard, Brook Lopez Deliver on Thursday Night Against Nets?

The Milwaukee Bucks will host the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday Night in what looks to be a good spot for Milwaukee. The Bucks should be fairly healthy for this one as both Giannis and Khris Middleton are probable. The Nets on the other hand are on the second night of a back to back after playing in Toronto last night. I have put together a parlay using Bet365's SGP boost with some of my favorite player props in this game. Let's dive into each leg I like and why I have added it to today's parlay.

Nets vs. Bucks Prediction

Leg 1: Damian Lillard 7+ Assists

The first leg I am taking for this parlay is Dame to get us seven or more assists. Dame has seven or more assists in three of the last four games, with both Giannis and Middleton averaging 15.5 potential assists. He went for 11 assists on 15 potentials last time out vs. the Nets, who are currently allowing the fifth-most assists to opposing point guards over the last 15 days. Dame has 7+ assists in 9 of 12 home games this season, and in seven of eight home wins (avg 8.8 assists). Dame has 7, 10, 13, and 10 assists in home wins by 10+, which I think is very likely to happen in this game. I think he racks up the dimes tonight.

Leg 2: Bobby Portis 10+ Points

The 2nd leg I have added is Bobby Portis to get us 10 or more points. Bobby has been thriving as of late and a lot of that is due to Giannis being out, but he was able to still see over 30 minutes last game despite Giannis' return so I do think his minutes are still safe and he should see 25+ minutes. When he sees 24 or more minutes, he has 10+ points in 14 of 15 games this season with the one miss being on nine points. Bobby always seems to play well vs this Nets team as well, going for 18, 23 and 16 points in 3 prior matchups this season. All we need is 10 tonight!

Leg 3: Gary Trent Jr. 2+ Threes

Leg number three is Gary Trent to knock down two or more 3's for us. Trent has been playing great as of late. He has two or more 3's in four of his last five games, but that's not the main reason for targeting him. The matchup looks great for Trent as Brooklyn has really been giving up a ton of 3's. A lot of them are catch and shoot three's, which we know is what Gary Trent does. The Nets have allowed the highest catch and shoot 3-point frequency % in the NBA over the past 10 games, and are currently allowing the second-most 3's to opposing shooting guards over the past 15 days. Trent also has gone for two, three and two 3's vs. the Nets in three games this season. I think he makes it 4-for-4 after tonight!

Leg 4: Brook Lopez 2+ Blocks

We are going to round out the parlay with leg number four, Brook Lopez to record two or more blocks. The main reason I love this leg is because the Nets have been very prone to allowing blocks to opposing Centers. They have allowed the fifth-most Center blocks on the season, and it looks as if Cam Thomas will be back in the lineup for the Nets which is huge. He leads the team in drives, which is what I like to look for when targeting blocks props. Lopez has two or more blocks in five of the last seven home games, including a 2-block game v.s the Nets. Look for him to repeat that in tonight's matchup.
