Best Same Game Parlay Picks for Celtics vs. Bucks
- Nicolas Claxton OVER 9.5 Points
- Patty Mills OVER 3.5 Three Pointers
- James Harden to Record a Double Double
- Carmelo Anthony OVER 13.5 Points
Nicolas Claxton OVER 9.5 Points
Claxton has been an emerging force for Brooklyn, and should have a matchup advantage with James Harden back in the lineup for the Nets (more on him in a bit) and the Lakers slow footed bigs struggling in the pick-and-roll.
For more on Claxton's player prop, check out my prop preview.
Patty Mills OVER 3.5 Three Pointers
Mills has become a key cog to the Nets rotation and he has had nothing but a neon green light. He is taking a career high seven three pointers per game and with the Nets down several key shooting options such as Kevin Durant and Cameron Thomas, we can see extra sets ran for the gunner.
James Harden to Record a Double Double
Harden will return to the lineup after being placed in COVID-19 Protocols and will enter as the focal point of the Nets offense that will be without Kevin Durant.
Of course there is some concern about Harden's conditioning, but this matchup should suit him well against the Lakers defense that is tied for the fourth most assists allowed this season. Harden will have a high usage rate on Christmas and should have ample opportunities to get a double double with assists.
As for rebounds, Harden is averaging nearly eight rebounds per game, and the Lakers are 19th in rebounding rate this season, potentially opening the door for a triple double as well for 'The Beard.'
Carmelo Anthony OVER 13.5 Points
Anthony is averaging only 10 points in the month of December in 23 minutes per game, but I'm going to bank on some Christmas magic from Melo.
Maybe I'm running too much of a narrative case, but Anthony consistently shows up on Christmas, averaging 31 points in six games on the annual marathon. I'm not counting on even half as much from him, just some extra reps in front of the holiday crowd.
