Thunder vs. Pelicans Parlay Analysis

Oklahoma City Thunder vs. New Orleans Pelicans, 9:30PM ET

LEG 1: CJ McCollum Over 22.5 Points

DimersBOT absolutely loves McCollum tonight - predicting the Pelicans star guard to go over both his points and assists (and turnovers) against the Thunder. Which makes sense, because McCollum will certainly be heavily utilized and featured for the New Orleans offense tonight. McCollum is no stranger to big playoff performances, after years of pairing with Damian Lillard now he will play Robin to Brandon Ingram's Batman, but McCollum may be the safer choice to hit his Over. He has scored more than 22.5 points in three consecutive games, and we expect an even more aggressive CJ McCollum tonight, with a projection of 26.3 points.

LEG 2: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 4.5 Assists

SGA is one of the most explosive playmakers in the NBA right now, and he should be applauded for getting Oklahoma City into the play-in for the first time in a few seasons. Shai has blossomed as a facilitator in recent games, going Over 4.5 assists in three consecutive contests to end the regular season, good for an average of 6.3 assists in April. We project SGA to record 5.6 assists tonight, and betting his line down to 4.5 assists in the Same Game Parlay is a great addition as we look to cash in big.


LEG 3: Brandon Ingram Under 31.5 Points

Ingram has really taken his game to a new level this season, as evidenced by an explosive 42-point performance in his last game of the regular season against the Timberwolves. However, prior to that huge night, Ingram had gone under 31.5 points in six of his previous seven games. Ingram is no doubt the best scorer on the Pelicans roster, but while we expect a huge night from McCollum, the Thunder defense will be fixated on limiting Ingram, and we project 26.8 points for the Pelicans star, making this an easy under.
