NBA Parlay Leg #1: Giannis Antetokounmpo Over 30.5 Points (-118)
Giannis Antetounmpo is third in the NBA in scoring this season, averaging a career-best 31.1 points per game while shooting 54.1%.
While the two-time NBA MVP will face defending champions Golden State Warriors, they have not been the same elite unit at the defensive end. After finishing last season ranked third in opponents points per game and first in defensive rating, Golden State is 23rd and 16th respectively in the two categories this season.
Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo has scored at least 31 points in 12 of his 22 games this season. Look for him to finish with at least 31 points for the 13th time this season against the Warriors' struggling defense.

The Los Angeles Lakers star is averaging 27.7 points per game and 12.4 rebounds per game while shooting 59.6% from the field, 31.0% from the 3-point range and 83.2% from the free-throw line.

The New Orleans Pelicans are the top team in the Western Conference; they're 18-8 and playing their best basketball of the season.
The Pelicans have won their last seven games and nine of their last ten. Meanwhile, they have been elite on both sides of the ball, ranking third in points per game, fifth in offensive rating, eighth in opponents points per game, and third in defensive rating.
They face a Utah Jazz team that has struggled recently, losing eight of their last 11 games. Look for New Orleans to take advantage of a defense that ranks 22nd in opponents points per game and 26th in defensive rating by winning this contest by at least two points.
