I hope you're ready to stay up late and be tired on Monday morning because the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks will be playing in primetime on Sunday. Jon Metler shares two of his favorite NBA same-game parlays for Sunday's games using the latest NBA odds. 

Is there anything more exciting than D'Angelo Russell being back with the Los Angeles Lakers? Yes, Russell's assists prop making a regular appearance in our NBA same-game parlays. 

Yesterday, we were one rebound by Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez away from sweeping the same-game parlays and winning 8.16 units. Instead, we won only 4.56 units and had to settle for two green checkmarks. 

Let's keep the momentum going and sweep the board on Sunday!

Here are our NBA SGP picks for Sunday (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook).

NBA SGP predictions: Wizards vs. 76ers

Kristaps Porzingis Over 22.5 points vs. 76ers (-108)

Porzingis opened with a betting line of 21.5 points at FanDuel, with the Over priced at -122, but the number has since been bet up to a total of 22.5 points. The Over for Porzingis' points prop is seeing a lot of steam, and I agree with it, and I don't anticipate that it will stop.

Considering Porzingis is projected to score 23.6 points against the Philadelphia 76ers, we can price this prop at -115, giving us a slight edge. The total for Porzingis at DraftKings is 21.5 points, with the Over juiced to -140. Based on our projection, the Over 22.5 (-108) is actually a more favorable line for us.

James Harden Under 10.5 assists vs. Wizards (-128)

Taking the Under on Harden's assist prop is always a risky bet as he's capable of cashing the Over on this line in the first half, but I'm feeling the Under for Sunday's matchup based on the numbers I'm seeing. Harden is projected to record 9.9 assists against the Wizards, which is well below the 11 assists necessary to lose this bet. This projection also allows us to price this prop at -150.

FanDuel's -128 on the Under is one of the best prices available on the market for this prop as BetMGM is trading the Under at -140 and BetRivers at -148.

NBA SGP predictions: Knicks vs. Lakers

D'Angelo Russell Over 5.5 assists vs. Knicks (-138)

When Russell finds his way into your same-game parlay, you know it's going to be a solid day of NBA betting. Russell has been very profitable for our bank accounts this season when he has shown value with his assists prop. As Russell is projected to drop 6.8 dimes against the Knicks on Sunday, the Over 5.5 should trade at -190 instead of -138. 

Mitchell Robinson Over 9.5 rebounds vs. Lakers (-130)

We're seeing Robinson projected to get more rebounds than he usually does on Sunday against the Lakers, and if you pause and think about it, it makes perfect sense. The Knicks will need Robinson to dominate the glass in this matchup against Anthony Davis.

We can price this prop at -150 based on Robinson's projected 10.7 rebounds against the Lakers. This prop is currently trading at Over 9.5 (-115) on DraftKings, which is a much better price than what FanDuel is offering. If Russell's juice is comparable at DraftKings and FanDuel, I suggest making this same-game parlay at DraftKings.
