Best NBA Parlay Picks Today, Wednesday 04/08 (7-Leg) Featuring Luke Kennard!: High Probability Plays

As the Lakers gear up to host the Thunder, all eyes will be on Luke Kennard, but not in the way you might think. Despite the buzz, betting the under on his assists at 6.5 feels like a savvy play. Kennard has been consistent, but recent trends suggest he's more of a scoring threat than a playmaker, averaging just 1.6 assists in his last five home games. When facing Oklahoma City, his numbers dip even further-averaging only about 2.8 assists at home against them. With an impressive 19 out of 20 overall hit rate recently, and a perfect 20 for 20 at home, it's clear that Kennard is more likely to find himself off-ball, exploiting his shooting ability rather than dishing out assists. Given the matchup dynamics, taking the under on his assists seems like the smart money here.

Luke Kennard (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 25.5 Points + Assists (-312)

As the Los Angeles Lakers prepare to face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder, all eyes will be on Luke Kennard. But let's not get carried away with lofty expectations. Despite the buzz, Kennard hasn't exactly lit it up lately-averaging just 9.6 points and 3.6 assists over his last five games, including a mere 6.4 points at home. When you dig deeper, his recent performances against Oklahoma City show he's only managed about 7 points per game, with just 4.6 of those coming at home. The numbers suggest a consistent pattern; he's hit the under in 19 of his last 20 games, and it's been a clean sweep at home-20 for 20. With an expected stat value significantly lower than that 25.5 line, it feels like a smart move to lean towards the under for Kennard in this matchup.

Tre Jones (Chicago Bulls) Under 31.5 Points + Assists (-345)

As the Bulls face off against the Wizards, all eyes will be on Tre Jones, but I see an opportunity to capitalize on his potential struggles. Despite averaging nearly 20 points and 5 assists over his last five games, his performance dips when he's on the road, where he's logged just 18.2 points and 6.6 assists. Against the Wizards, Jones has averaged only 10.2 points in their last matchups, a stark contrast to his usual output. Even more telling, he's hit the under on his combined points and assists in 19 of his last 20 games, including an impressive streak of 12 straight when playing away. With the Wizards' defense tightening up, I'm confident that Tre will fall short of that 31.5 total. It's a solid bet to take the under here-it just feels right.

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 34.5 Points (-333)

As the Dallas Mavericks prepare to face the Los Angeles Clippers, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg. However, betting on him to exceed 34.5 points seems risky. While Flagg has showcased his scoring prowess, averaging 30.2 points over his last five games, his away performances tell a different story. He's managed just 23.4 points on the road, and against the Clippers specifically, he's averaged 23 points-well below the mark we're targeting. Despite his recent form, Flagg's hit rate reveals a pattern; he's gone under in an impressive 18 of his last 20 games. With an implied probability of nearly 77% for this under, and considering the Mavericks' defensive schemes, it seems wise to lean toward the under on Flagg. Expect a competitive game, but not a scoring explosion from him this time around.

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 49.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-357)

As the Mavericks gear up to face the Clippers, Cooper Flagg finds himself in a challenging spot, making the Under 49.5 on his combined points, rebounds, and assists an intriguing play. While he's been a standout performer, averaging 30.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five games, his away numbers reveal a different story. His away averages dip to 23.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 6 assists. Against the Clippers, he's averaged only 23 points and 7.7 rebounds-but those figures drop to a mere 2 assists when playing on the road. With an impressive 18 out of 20 hit rate overall and a perfect 12 for 12 on the road in his last dozen games, it seems the odds are stacked against him this time. Expect the Clippers to tighten up defensively, making the Under 49.5 a smart bet.

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 41.5 Points + Assists (-357)

As the Dallas Mavericks head into their matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg. However, betting on him to go over 41.5 combined points and assists feels like a risky move. Despite Flagg's impressive season, he's averaged just 23 points and 2 assists in his last five away games against the Mavericks, with a concerning dip to 30.2 points and only 3.6 assists in his last five overall. What's particularly telling is his away performance where he's only hit the mark in two of his last twenty games. With an average of 35 points against the Mavericks at home, expectations should be tempered as he faces a tough road environment. The statistics suggest solid backing for an under bet-Flagg has only cleared this threshold away from home, making this prop a compelling play to consider for savvy bettors.
