While my friend Chris Walder cooked up a fantastic Knicks-Pacers same-game parlay, we'll look at tonight's crucial Western Conference NBA playoff matchup. Denver stormed out to a 34-point lead in Game 3, eventually coming away with a 117-90 blowout victory. Minnesota's celebrated defense looked hapless against the offensive onslaught of NBA MVP Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets. Can Denver even up the series in Game 4?
Let's dive into my same-game parlay for Nuggets-Timberwolves Game 4.

Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Anthony Edwards OVER 5.5 Rebounds (-130)
While his spectacular dunks and scoring chops get all the headlines, Edwards has crashed the boards with ferocity during the NBA playoffs. His athleticism allows him to be an effective contributor on the glass.
Edwards has gone OVER this prop line in six of eight playoff games, and I like that to continue in Game 4. Expect the 22-year-old sensation to play a ton of minutes tonight, as Chris Finch's squad aims to take a stranglehold of the series.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Michael Porter Jr. OVER 22.5 Points & Rebounds (-132)
I love the value on Michael Porter Jr. in today's crucial contest. Often the recipient of open looks as defenses collapse on Jokic and Jamal Murray, he's knocked down at least four three-pointers in five of eight playoff games. Those 12 points get us over halfway to this number, without even factoring in any other type of shots or rebounds.
The @nuggets' trio of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. combine for 69 points as Denver takes Game 3 in Minnesota!

Porter Jr.: 21 PTS | 4 REB | 4 3PM#NBAPlayoffs presented by Google… pic.twitter.com/FuY2zL8dcK
On top of that, he's gone OVER 22.5 points and rebounds in seven of eight games this postseason. Porter Jr.'s averaged nearly 28 points and rebounds per game so far these playoffs. Look for Porter Jr. to have another big game in a must-win situation.

Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Nikola Jokic OVER 8.5 Assists (-104)
As mentioned in today's NBA Expert Picks, I'm all over the defending NBA Champion Nuggets in Game 4.
Denver will need a huge game from Nikola Jokic to pull out a victory on Sunday afternoon. Jokic has at least nine assists in six of his last seven games. For all their struggles, Denver has knocked down 40% of shots from deep in this series. Michael Porter Jr, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Justin Holiday have been shooting the lights out as the T-Wolves look to limit Jokic and Murray. They've been getting great looks all series long. The freshly minted 3-time NBA MVP will ensure that continues in Game 4, far surpassing his 8.5 assist line.
