NBA Parlay Leg #1: Portland Trail Blazers Under 111.5 Points (-120)
This feels like the number is trying to buy on the hype that Brooklyn struggled last time out instead of what the Blazers can do. Portland is averaging 110 points per game and will be without shooting guards Keon Johnson and Gary Payton II while power forward Justice Winslow and center Jusuf Nurkic are listed as questionable and those injuries really make it difficult for the Trail Blazers to score outside of Damian Lillard.
This Brooklyn Nets team is coming off getting completely embarrassed against the Sacramento Kings, so people are going to expect more of the same in this game. However, the Nets are still 11th in the NBA with 111.7 points per game and they looked a lot better overall with Jacque Vaughn as their head coach.
NBA Parlay Leg #2: Saddiq Bey Under 1.5 Threes (+135)
Saddiq Bey is one of the young players that should be able to help the Detroit Pistons play a lot better than their 3-12 record shows. However, he is struggling to shoot the ball from distance as he has connected on 27.6 percent from three in his last 10 games played.
To give a perspective on exactly how cold he has been in his last five games, he is a putrid 5-for-27 (18.5 percent) from beyond the arc. He is one of those shooting lulls where he will eventually break out of it, but not against a stout defensive team like the Los Angeles Clippers.

NBA Parlay Leg #3: De'Aaron Fox Under 36.5 Points, Rebounds, and Assists (+100)
De'Aaron Fox does a lot of things at a solid level to help the Sacramento Kings, but he is not going to put up a huge stat line in every game that he plays as other players do.
This season, Fox is averaging 24.6 points, five rebounds, and 6.3 assists. If you add those numbers together, you get 35.9, which means they are asking you to expect a better performance than he has been providing throughout the season.
He has failed to reach 37 combined points, assists, and rebounds in three of his last four games and with the strength of the team around him, it should be difficult to see him dominating the game.
