NBA Parlay Picks: Odds and Predictions for 4-23-2024 Playoff Games

Brace for alliteration: We have a trio of tilts on Tuesday with the NBA Playoffs marching forward and a gaggle of Game 2 showdowns on the oddsboard.

The Phoenix Suns and Minnesota Timberwolves get us started at 7:30 p.m. ET while the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET. The main event of the evening takes us to La-La Land, where the Los Angeles Clippers host the Dallas Mavericks at 10 p.m. ET. 

If you’re looking to run a thread through those three games with NBA player props, I have two NBA parlay predictions and NBA picks for the playoff contests on April 23. 

As always, bet these accumulators responsibly and treat parlays like hot sauce in a skull-shaped bottle… just a sprinkle.

Best NBA parlay picks for Tuesday

NBA parlay pick 1

Kevin Durant Over 3.5 assists

Tyrese Haliburton Over 18.5 points

P.J. Washington Over 1.5 3-pointers

+449 at FanDuel

Kevin Durant’s assists have dwindled over the past five games, sinking his passing prop to 3.5 O/U for Game 2 tonight. While projections vary, all of the models consulted come in above 3.5 assists and the majority call for four or more, with a ceiling of 5.2 dimes. My number sits at 4.8 assists from KD. Durant will draw his usual attention and his passing could help fellow Phoenix Suns stud Devin Booker get going early on after a poor Game 1 effort.

Tyrese Haliburton is coming off a quiet showing versus the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 1, scoring only nine points on seven field goal attempts. After scoring only 94 points in the opener, the Indiana Pacers need their playmaker to take the reigns and put up buckets. Forecasts for Haliburton vary from 18.9 points to 22.5, with my number at 20.7 points. That’s more than enough to get Over the 18.5 points.

The Dallas Mavericks’ role players forgot to get off the plane in L.A., leading to a poor shooting effort from the support staff. P.J. Washington scored 11 points and was just 2-for-7 from beyond the arc in Game 1. The Los Angeles Clippers will look to take the ball out of the hands of Kyrie and Luka, putting the pressure on guys like Washington to make shots. He’ll get his chances from deep and has hit at least two triples in 10 of his last 12 outings.

NBA parlay pick 2

Karl-Anthony Towns Over 17.5 points

Pascal Siakam Under 25.5 points

Kyrie Irving Over 4.5 assists

+593 at DraftKings

Karl-Anthony Towns needed only 27 minutes and seven shots to score 19 points in the Game 1 blowout of the Suns, picking up eight of those tallies from the foul line. He averages more than 15 field goal attempts per game, so expect KAT to be much more active on offense as the series tightens. Player projections for Towns call for as many as 22-plus tonight with my number just shy of 19 points. 

Pascal Siakam is coming off a monster 36-point performance against the Bucks in Game 1, which makes fading his Game 2 scoring output very tempting. Siakam’s prop is as big as 25.5 O/U for tonight, a notable uptick compared to past prop totals of 20.5 in recent Games. Projections all sit south of this number and even the more bullish models call for 24 points. My forecast is 23.2 points from Indiana’s forward, but several models call for fewer than 22 points.

A bad shooting night from the Mavericks’ support staff ruined Kyrie Irving’s assist total in Game 1, with the Dallas PG finishing with only four dimes but eight potential assists. Los Angeles is collapsing on Kyrie and trying to take the ball out of his hands, leaving him to trust his teammates to make open shots in Game 2. Projections all sat above the 4.5 O/U with a ceiling closer to six dimes. My prognostication is 5.2 assists from the Mavs’ star PG tonight.
