The reigning champion Denver Nuggets look to extend their winning streak to seven games when Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns pay a visit to Ball Arena on Tuesday night.
Let's put together a same-game parlay and win some money.
Last Same-Game Parlay Results: Thunder Vs. Lakers (March 4, 2024)

This would have been an easy win, but the Los Angeles Lakers sat Anthony Davis late after having a sizeable lead when all he needed was another three points to seal the deal here.

Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Denver Nuggets ML
As previously mentioned, the Nuggets are in the midst of a winning streak matched only by the Milwaukee Bucks and surpassed by the Boston Celtics. They're offense ranks second overall during this stretch, and their defense is sixth by allowing just 106.2 points per 100 possessions.
Denver prevailed on the road against Phoenix back on Dec. 1 without Jamal Murray, although the Suns didn't have the services of both Bradley Beal and Devin Booker. The latter will be unavailable once again as Booker will miss some time with a right ankle sprain.
Phoenix has a losing record in 2023-24 when Booker doesn't play at just 4-7, while the Nuggets have lost only twice at home in the calendar year. The Suns missing key bodies against a Denver team riding a wave of success explains itself.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Kevin Durant OVER 28.5 Points
In 11 games without Booker by his side this season, Kevin Durant is averaging 30.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 5.5 assists while shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from 3-point range.
The 28.5-point total set for Tuesday has been surpassed by the All-Star forward just once since Feb. 10, but not having Booker by his side does present even more scoring opportunities and greater potential for that number to be toppled.
To add even more faith in this prop, Durant dropped 30 points on Denver back in December on a poor shooting night (8-of-25). It contextualizes how much more of an option he becomes in big games when parts of Phoenix's Big Three are absent.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Nikola Jokic To Record 10+ Assists
The Nuggets could go on cruise control if this game starts to get away from the Suns. When that occurs, Nikola Jokic could become less of a scorer and more of a facilitator, improving the potential of him reaching double-digit assists for the first time in three games.
The two-time league Most Valuable had four consecutive games of 11 or more assists from Feb. 22 through 28, all of which resulted in wins of at least 15 points for the Nuggets. Jokic also had 16 dimes against the Suns on Dec. 1 in just under 35 minutes of action.
