NBA Parlay Leg #1: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 31.5 Points (-115)
Giannis Antetounmpo is second in the NBA in scoring this season, averaging a career-best 31.1 points per game while shooting 53.0% from the field. The Milwaukee Bucks star has scored at least 32 points in 11 of his 23 games played during the 2022-2023 season, including seven of his past 11 games.
The Bucks will be without Jrue Holiday, who is currently second on the Bucks in both points per game and field goal attempts. That should mean more touches for Giannis. Look for him to take advantage of the additional touches by finishing with at least 32 points for the eighth time in 12 games.

NBA Parlay Leg #2: Milwaukee Bucks ML (+112)
The Milwaukee Bucks have been the second-best team in the NBA this season, just one game behind the Boston Celtics. Milwaukee has been elite defensively, ranking second in the league in both opponents' points per game and defensive rating. While the Bucks will be without Jrue Holiday, they still have plenty of talent on both sides of the ball. Look for Milwaukee to emerge victorious against the Memphis Grizzlies despite entering as road underdogs.

NBA Parlay Leg #3: New Orleans Pelicans -1 (-110)
The New Orleans Pelicans are currently the top-ranked team in the Western Conference, thanks to strong play on both sides of the ball. New Orleans ranks fifth in both points per game and offensive rating. Defensively, the Pelicans are ranked ninth in opponents' points per game and third in defensive rating.
Prior to losing to the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night, the Pelicans had won seven consecutive games. Meanwhile, the Jazz had lost eight of 11 contests. While Utah was able to defeat New Orleans, they should not be expected to do so again. Look for the Pelicans to avenge their loss from two nights ago by defeating the Jazz by at least two points.
