The stars will be out in Denver tonight as two-time reigning MVP Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets welcome Luka Donic, Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks. To have some fun with this one, I’ve put together an NBA Same Game Parlay over at FanDuel Sportsbook.

NBA Same Game Parlay for 2/15:
Over 233 Points (-112)
Luka Doncic Over 8.5 Rebounds (-125)
Kyrie Irving 3+ Made 3 Pointers (-230)
Nikola Jokic 8+ Assists (-600)
Michael Porter Over 2.5 Made 3 Pointers (-148)
NBA Same Game Parlay Odds: +861
Over 233 Points (-112)
The first leg of our NBA Same Game Parlay is the over. Denver is second in points per game at home behind only Sacramento. The Nuggets average 121.4 points per game at Ball Arena. The trade for Kyrie Irving did two things for Dallas. It gave the Mavericks another legit offensive superstar. It also made an already bad defensive team worse by trading their best defensive player Dorian Finney-Smith to Brooklyn. The Mavericks rank 22nd in defensive rating and both teams are in the top 10 on the offense. There should be points in bunches tonight, even in the thin air.
Luka Doncic Over 8.5 Rebounds (-125)
Doncic recently returned from a heel injury that caused him to miss four games. Luka had nine rebounds in his first game back and 12 in the Maverick’s most recent game on Monday. Doncic has had at least nine rebounds in all three games against the Nuggets so far this season so I expect him to eclipse that mark again.

Kyrie Irving 3+ Made 3 Pointers (-230)
There are questions how Irving is going to fit alongside Doncic, but even as they figure it out, they should both be able to make things happen. Playing alongside another elite ball handler will allow Irving to get open looks and he should knock down some threes when Doncic is driving and kicking. Irving has four made threes in all but one of his games so far with the Mavericks.
Nikola Jokic 8+ Assists (-600)
Jokic is averaging a triple double this year so you could go in just about any direction with his player props, but if I like there to be points in this game I feel like I should play one of Jokic’s offensive props. This is a bridge jumper with odds of -600. Jokic has gone under nine assists in only 14 of 50 games and should have plenty of options to create for his teammates against a bad Mavericks defense. Nothing in life is guaranteed, but this should be one of the easier legs in today’s NBA Same Game Parlay.

Michael Porter Over 2.5 Made 3 Pointers (-148)
So who is Doncic going to dish the ball too? Michael Porter Jr is a good option. Jamal Murray’s status is up in the air and Aaron Gordon is banged up, so Porter should step up and make some buckets for the Nuggets. Porter has made at least three 3-pointers in seven of his last nine games and should have ample opportunity tonight so make it rain. Hopefully he does and our NBA Same Game Parlay cashes!
