The Doc Rivers era in Milwaukee has gotten off to a rocky start, with the Bucks looking to win just their second game under their new head coach on Tuesday when they visit the Footprint Center to battle Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and the Phoenix Suns.
Let's put together a same-game parlay for this matchup and potentially win some money.
Last Same-Game Parlay Results: Lakers Vs. Celtics (Feb. 1, 2024)
| Bet | Odds | Result | W or L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boston Celtics ML | -600 | 114-105 Lakers | L |
| Derrick White OVER 15.5 Points | -108 | 9 Points | L |
| Kristaps Porzingis To Record 8+ Rebounds | -105 | 7 Rebounds | L |
| Overall | +274 | L |
Whoops. Look, the Los Angeles Lakers didn't have LeBron James and Anthony Davis on this night, and the Boston Celtics absolutely played down to their depleted opponent.
There was every reason to think the Celtics had this in the bag, especially on their home floor when they had only lost two games all season. This was a bad parlay, but not bad in theory.

Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Phoenix Suns ATS 3.5
Milwaukee has proven incapable of stopping anyone on defense all season long, and facing the No. 7-ranked offense in basketball won't help matters.
With Rivers on the sidelines, the Bucks are allowing 116.7 points per 100 possessions (19th) across four games while Phoenix is scoring 127.5 points per 100 possessions (2nd) during that same stretch.
The Suns are returning home after a seven-game road trip in which they went 4-3. They're 4-1 in their own backyard over their last five games, though, and cover the spread just over 68 percent of the time in home games played on a Tuesday across 16 attempts.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Giannis Antetokounmpo To Score 30+ Points
Perhaps no one on the Bucks is more frustrated with their lack of stability than the Greek Freak, but that hasn't slowed down his production in the slightest bit.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has scored 30 or more points in 10 of Milwaukee's 17 games in the new year, averaging 31.9 points while shooting better than 63 percent from the field.
Teammates Brook Lopez and Khris Middleton are expected to be back in the lineup against Phoenix, but that shouldn't take away from Antetokounmpo's contributions. The Bucks rely heavily on the former MVP, and they'll need every last bucket to combat the Suns' diverse offensive attack.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Devin Booker To Hit 3+ 3-Pointers
There's only so much ball to go around for Phoenix's Big Three of Durant, Booker, and Bradley Beal, so it's often difficult to figure out which player will put up big numbers or if it will be an even distribution of points.
For Booker, he's connected on three or more 3-pointers in five of his last 10 appearances, averaging 7.5 attempts from behind the arc per game.
He's coming off a humdrum showing against the Washington Wizards, primarily due to fewer minutes in a blowout game. Booker should bounce back in a big way in a mainstream matchup with Milwaukee
