While a marquee matchup on paper, Friday's game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and visiting Milwaukee Bucks may be devoid of some serious starpower.
Let's put together a same-game parlay and win some money.
Last Same-Game Parlay Results: Knicks vs. Celtics (April 11, 2024)

Matchup Page: Milwaukee Bucks vs. Oklahoma City Thunder, 8 p.m. ET
| Bet | Odds |
|---|---|
| Oklahoma City Thunder ATS -14.5 | -110 |

Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Oklahoma City Thunder ATS -14.5
Giannis Antetokounmpo has already been ruled out for an extended period with an injured calf, Damian Lillard is doubtful with a bad hip, and Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, and Bobby Portis are all questionable as any combination of three may be held out for rest.
This marks the seventh time this season that the Thunder are favored by 14 points or more, having gone a perfect 6-0 SU and 5-1 covering the spread.
This game could get ugly in a hurry.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Chet Holmgren OVER 14.5 Points
Not knowing as of Friday morning who will be available for the Bucks, we're going to roll with a pair of player props for Oklahoma City players we know will be suiting up.
Chet Holmgren may not be facing a ton of resistance opposing Milwaukee's frontcourt, especially with Antetokounmpo out and Lopez perhaps sitting. The 21-year-old has scored 15 or more points in four of his last six games, with one of the exceptions being his previous outing against the San Antonio Spurs in a blowout win on April 10 when he only played 14:37 in total.
He only scored six points against the Bucks on March 24, but the Thunder got hammered and went up against a fully-stacked Milwaukee core.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Lu Dort 2+ Made 3-Pointers
While Lu Dort did miss Wednesday's victory over the Spurs for rest purposes, he's fully expected to be back in the lineup for Friday's tilt with the Bucks.
He's converted two or more 3-pointers in four of his last five games, connecting on 37.9 percent of his 5.8 attempts which is hindered by a 0-of-5 shooting night from deep against the Boston Celtics on April 3.
Just over 36 percent of his total appearances in 2023-24 have come with Dort making at least a pair of 3-pointers, and with Milwaukee appearing to throw in the towel even before the festivities get underway, Dort should be favored to light it up from the perimeter.
