Sacred Heart ML vs. Marist & Josh Giddey Over 34.5 PRA vs. Raptors (+284, BetMGM)
Back again with another parlay of the day, where we combine my best bet with Dan Karpuc’s to create what we think will be a great plus-money cash for tonight. As per usual, I am headed to the college basketball slate and Dan has another NBA prop for us. You can play both of these as straight bets if you wish as well, as I know some people do not enjoy the risk associated with parlays.
Starting off with my wager, Sacred Heart is at home to take on Marist tonight in a matchup that absolutely no one is going to care about outside of those with a bet on the game. The slate tonight is brutal once again, but Saturdays always make up for bad Thursday and Friday games. Still, there are some winners to be found here, and I think I found one in the Pioneers with this extremely fishy line.
Marist has had a great season to this point, with a 20-5 SU record, and have also won four straight games coming into this contest. They will have all the momentum, and they don’t mind playing on the road either, where they have a 9-3 SU record traveling. The Red Foxes have had some issues covering spreads, and are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games, but they have still found ways to win.
Sacred Heart hasn’t been nearly as good, with a 12-15 SU record and losers of three of their last four games. They are 5-5 ATS over their last 10, so it isn’t like they have been some kind of covering machine. Really, this comes down to what the line is. A 20-5 team that has won four straight games is an underdog to a 12-15 team that has lost three of four. This is clearly a trap line, but again, slates like these can be risky. More often than not, though, the Pioneers win this game.
Dan is going with Bulls guard Josh Giddey to pad the stats tonight against the Toronto Raptors in the NBA, as he explains below:
“Over the last four games, we’ve caught a glimpse of what Josh Giddey’s upside could be if he’s given the chance to run the show. Averaging 24.3 points, 12.0 rebounds (on 16.5 chances) and 8.0 assists (on 15.8 potential dimes) in 34.3 minutes in that span, the young point guard has taken advantage of being the focal point of the offense with Nikola Vucevic out due to an injury.
Vuc will be out again in this matchup, which vaults Giddey’s potential multi-category outputs once again. If you don’t think the numbers he’s putting up are insane, consider this: no other player in NBA history has done what he’s done over his last three games in terms of his points, rebounds, assists, made threes and stocks.”
Go Pioneers and Josh had better stay on his Russell Westbrook streak.
