NBA Same Game Parlay Preview

Tonight, the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat will meet at the Kaseya Center for Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Tip-off set for 8:30 p.m. on ABC.

Ahead of tip-off, Tyler Herro continues to be listed as out on the official injury report, despite reports from earlier in the week that he had a chance to play this evening. Even without Herro, the market is expecting a competitive game script, pricing Denver as 2.5-point favorites on the spread.

Nuggets vs. Heat Same Game Parlay Picks

Bam Adebayo u3.5 Assists (+128)

In two games to begin the NBA Finals, Bam Adebayo is averaging 7.5 potential assists, leading to five assists and four assists, respectively. Despite the fact that Adebayo has eclipsed this market number in four consecutive games dating back to the Eastern Conference Finals, the under is a worthwhile inclusion in this parlay. Simply, Adebayo’s conversion rate of potential assists to actual assists is unsustainably high. Facing a tough Denver in a pivotal Game 3, expect some negative regression for Adebayo in this spot.

Nikola Jokic u9.5 Assists (+116)

Following a 14-assist performance in the series opener, Nikola Jokic had only four assists and 11 potential assists in Game 2. The Miami Heat made a concerted effort on Sunday to make it difficult for Jokic to be a playmaker, which will likely continue to be a point of emphasis as this series progresses. Simply, Jokic is going to need a lot more than 11 potential assists if he is going to eclipse this market number on Wednesday evening. The under is worth a roll of the dice here.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope u9.5 Points (-115)

Heading into Game 3, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has yet to score in double-figures in this series, despite playing two games in his home building. His fortunes are unlikely to improve as the Nuggets travel to Miami for Game 3 and Game 4. During the regular season, Caldwell-Pope averaged fewer points per game and had worse shooting percentages from the field and three-point line on the road than he did at home. Expect him to continue to struggle with his shot in this spot.
