Best NBA Same Game Parlay Bet Today: Nuggets vs. Suns @ +465 Odds 12/1

On a smaller Friday slate, the nationally televised game between the Denver Nuggets and Phoenix Suns is an exciting matchup to look through as both a fan and from a betting perspective.

The Nuggets have won 3 straight, returning star guard Jamal Murray to the lineup, whereas the Suns just dropped their first game after a 7 game win streak. These are two of the powers in the Western Conference, both rounding into form as we enter December.

Bradley Beal is still listed as out, Devin Booker is questionable after tweaking his ankle against the Raptors earlier in the week, and Grayson Allen is still listed as day to day with illness.

For the Nuggets, Aaron Gordon is listed as day to day and did not play against the Rockets on Wednesday.

Here's my favorite three leg parlay from this game.

Moneyline: Denver

Player Prop Bets: Nikola Jokic over 12.5 rebounds; Jusuf Nurkic over 8.5 rebounds

Parlay Odds: +490 at DraftKings

Leg 1: Denver Nuggets to Win

• Denver is 7-1 with Jamal Murray playing, winning his first game back this Wednesday.
• Devin Booker was clearly hobbled and affected by his ankle tweak against the Raptors. He was still effective, but struggled to get into the paint, which no one else on the Suns does very consistently.
• Phoenix is 4-4 at home.

Leg 2: Nikola Jokic Over 12.5 Rebounds

• Phoenix is 25th in defensive rebound rate; Jokic offensive boards are going to be en vogue.
• Jokic currently leads the league in rebounding at 13.2 per game.
• If Booker isn't able to pressure the rim, I expect the Suns to be forced into a difficult shot profile, leading to more rebounding chances.

Leg 3: Jusuf Nurkic Over 8.5 Rebounds

• Nurkic averages 9.3 boards per game.
• As mentioned prior, with a potential of Phoenix's shot profile with Booker hobbled, more chances to get rebounds.
• Denver likes to be more aggressive defensively, putting two defenders on the ball and rotating behind; those pockets for Nurkic to affect the game will be a little bigger.
