Best NBA Parlays Tonight: 5/17/2022

NBA Parlays for Tuesday
May 17, 2022 7:00 pm EDT

The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat face off on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Even though there is only one game taking place, there is still enough value for a couple of winning NBA parlays. 

Al Horford under 8.5 points +180 / Miami Heat, Boston Celtics under 204.5 -110 // $10 bet pays $43.45

Early in the series against the Milwaukee Bucks, Al Horford found a ton of success and was a big reason for the success, but the last few games he played, he wasn’t as much of a factor. Over the last three games, Horford has scored only 16 points total. Against the Miami Heat, he isn’t going to be taking on a bigger role, and I don’t see Horford finishing with more than six points here. Back Horford under 8.5 points. 

The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics are both going to struggle to score in this game. These are both teams that have found defensive success so far in the playoffs. Over the last two games, the Philadelphia 76ers averaged only 87.5 points. In each of the last two games the Celtics finished with under 96 points, I expect both defenses to be strong in this game, and the under is going to cash. Bet This Today at DraftKings Click Here.

Jayson Tatum 4+ three pointers made -120 / Boston Celtics ML +100 // $10 bet pays $26.67

Jayson Tatum is going to continue his strong play in Game 1. Two games ago, Tatum finished with seven made three-pointers, and in the last game, he finished with five three-pointers. The Celtics know if they want to find success, Tatum is going to need to have a big game, and I expect that will include him taking a ton of shots from deep. Tatum will finish with at least four three-pointers made. 

The Celtics looked so dominant the last two games against the Bucks, and three games ago they would have won if it wasn’t for a bad-blown lead in the 4th quarter. The Celtics are more well-rounded than the Sixers, and I expect Tatum and Jaylen Brown are going to lead them to a victory. Bet This Today at Bet MGM Click Here.
