Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: New York Knicks ATS +9.5
For a team that's won four in a row with three victories over teams with a record greater than .500, the Knicks being listed as the 9.5-point underdogs seems a tad harsh.
That's not to say the Nuggets don't warrant such a spread. They've lost just a pair of games SU since Feb. 22, with eight of their 12 wins covering the spread set forth for Thursday's meeting in the Mile High City.
New York has proven to be a resilient bunch with Julius Randle, O.G. Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson all out with injury. This has resulted in its starters playing a heavy dose of minutes to compensate, which leads me to believe the score will be closer than oddsmakers will give the visitors credit for.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Michael Porter Jr. 3+ Made 3-Pointers
We're riding this prop until the wheels fall off because it's been so gosh darn effective whenever assembling a same-game parlay involving Denver.
Michael Porter Jr. has been as reliable a 3-point marksman as it gets over the month of March, shooting 48.4 percent from behind the arc by averaging 3.3 makes on 6.9 attempts.
Now his efficiency actually drops to just 37 percent across four games at home, but he's still making 2.5 perimeter shots per contest. Factoring in that he's made at least three in seven of his last 10 games is enough of a reason to keep the confidence flowing until proven otherwise.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Jamal Murray To Record 6+ Assists
Jamal Murray's assist numbers have taken a considerable jump from his season average of 6.7 per game to 8.7 across nine appearances in March, which places him ninth overall amongst all players.
He's failed to finish with at least six dimes just once during that stretch, and Murray still recorded five with zero turnovers in that lone blemish.
You could probably increase Murray's assist total to eight to improve your odds, which he's nailed in two of his last three games. This is more so being conservative than anything else, as six assists is still a big number.
