Best NBA Game Day Parlay Bet Today: Jalen Brunson, Domantas Sabonis, and Kyle Kuzma @ +507 on 1/18

Today's parlay presents an intriguing mix of talent and opportunity, featuring Jalen Brunson, Domantas Sabonis, and Kyle Kuzma, at an enticing +507 odds over at FanDuel.

We will dive into the individual strengths and recent performances of each player, offering a detailed analysis of why their upcoming games hold significant promise for bettors.

From Brunson's playmaking abilities to Sabonis' scoring prowess and Kuzma's difficult matchup, let’s explore the factors that make this bet an exciting prospect.

Leg 1: Jalen Brunson - Over 7.5 assists (-130)

It’s fair to say that Jalen Brunson is one of the best point guards that the Knicks have had in a long time, and his excellent offensive performance this season only continues to support his case.

While it might seem enticing to look at Brunson’s points scored for tonight’s game against a poor-performing Wizards team, this recent trend makes it difficult to pass on looking for his assists instead: Brunson’s assists per game have shot up since Immanuel Quickley was traded. Right now, Brunson sits at an average of 8.8 assists per game, an increase of over two assists per game since the trade.

Complemented by a healthy roster and a favorable matchup against a battered and underwhelming Washington defense, it’s hard to imagine that there won’t be plenty of opportunities for Brunson to feed his teammates the ball.

Leg 2: Domantas Sabonis - Over 22.5 points (-104)

Domantas Sabonis has been absolutely electrifying on the court this season, putting up nine triple-doubles in his last 16 games, and consistently managing to put up twenty or more points each game.

Thus, in what’s expected to be a high-scoring game between the Kings and Pacers, Sabonis should be expected to play an instrumental role in his team’s success, motivated to face his former that struggled to utilize his talent.

What makes this especially appetizing is that Indiana’s defense has performed poorly when inside of the paint.

In their last three games, the Pacers have let up 57.3 points from inside the paint, ranking as the second-worst defense in that category, which makes a strong case for Sabonis to have another, phenomenal performance against a defense that will struggle to contain him.

Leg 3: Kyle Kuzma - Under 21.5 points (-104)

To cap off the parlay, despite the poor performance of the Wizards this season, Kyle Kuzma stands out as the highlight of an otherwise-lackluster offense, yet Washington’s matchup against a tough New York defense poses a great challenge for him.

With the Knicks acquiring a new forward, OG Anunoby, Kyle Kuzma will not just be subject to being the focus of the New York defense, but Anunoby is also known to excel when defending opposing forwards, which should lead to less of an impact from Kuzma during tonight’s game.
