Will DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic be able to deliver us some green checkmarks on Wednesday? Jon Metler shares his favorite NBA same-game parlay for Wednesday's games using the latest NBA odds.

I needed to take the same-game parlay we had planned for Wednesday elsewhere, as FanDuel is down for planned maintenance. FanDuel being temporarily unavailable could be the best thing that's ever happened to us.

Take a look at what I uncovered at DraftKings on Wednesday while focusing on DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic.

Here are our NBA SGP picks for Wednesday (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook).

NBA SGP predictions: Lakers vs. Bulls

DeMar DeRozan Over 23.5 points vs. Lakers (+120)

I placed a straight bet on DeRozan at Over 22.5 points (-113) on FanDuel this morning, and you can find the full breakdown in our NBA best bets. I was hunting for an alternate same-game parlay total for DeRozan, and DraftKings delivered.

A straight bet on this prop isn't available through DraftKings, and it's only accessible as part of a same-game parlay (since placing straight bets is more profitable for bettors). It's projected that DeRozan will score 25.1 points on Wednesday, and I anticipate he'll trade at around 23.5 points (-110) as we approach tipoff. Why not take advantage of the +120 on this number before it moves?

This prop should trade at -120 based on our projections. As further proof of the quality pricing here, PointsBet is offering DeRozan +125 for 25-plus points.

Nikola Vucevic Over 16.5 points vs. Lakers (+115)

As if DeRozan wasn't enticing enough, you're also stealing an alternate price on Vucevic through DraftKings' same-game parlay markets. Once again, this isn't being offered as a straight bet, and I would have already hit the button.

It's projected that Vucevic will score 18.3 points against the Lakers on Wednesday, which is why we're seeing the market heavily steam the Over on his prop. Vucevic has already moved from Over 15.5 points (-122) to Over 16.5 points (-106) at FanDuel. A number of sportsbooks are now trading Vucevic at minus money for Over 16.5 points, while DraftKings offers this bet at +115 in its same-game parlay section.

By the end of the day, Vucevic will be minus money across the board for Over 16.5 points, so don't miss out on this rogue price through DraftKings.
