NBA Parlay Leg #1: Joel Embiid Over 42.5 Points, Rebounds & Assists (-125)
Joel Embiid is going to do extremely well in his second consecutive game against the Atlanta Hawks, this time in their own building. Embiid is averaging 28.8 points in his last four games while averaging 11.5 rebounds in his previous two games.
Without James Harden on the court, they will give Embiid the ball. Atlanta does not have a dominant center to defend him as Clint Capela is going to do decently well. He combined for 41 total points, assists, and rebounds on Thursday but that was in 32 minutes. Expect more time on the court and for him to improve his scoring numbers, as he should score 30+ points in this game.
NBA Parlay Leg #2: Brandon Ingram Under 22.5 Points (-105)
Brandon Ingram is a solid player but is not going to be that scoring threat for the Pelicans in their matchup against the Houston Rockets in this game. In his three home games this season, Ingram is averaging just 16.7 points per game and has failed to hit 23 points in three of his last four games overall.
In 17 career games against the Rockets, BI is averaging 21.6 points per game against Houston with 10 of those games being below the desired total. With Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum as more of the scoring options, expect Ingram to fall shy of scoring 22.5 points here.
NBA Parlay Leg #3: Paul George Under 26.5 Points (-115)
Paul George has been asked to do a lot more this season as Kawhi Leonard has been out for the majority of the early season. The Clippers are not scoring many points as they are averaging 104.7 points as a team and have an adjusted offensive rating of 104.6 according to DunksandThrees.
This Brooklyn Nets defense has bolstered up lately as they are averaging 90.3 points per game allowed in their last four games played. Paul George has played against the Nets 26 times in his career and is averaging just 21.5 points, so I do not see a way that he has enough points by the end of the game.
