NBA Philadelphia 76ers vs Denver Nuggets same game parlay picks: Jokic outplays Embiid at +670 odds

It’s the battle of the titans in the NBA as Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic square off for the 2nd and final time this regular season. I’m aiming to land my 4th Same Game Parlay bet since last Friday. Embiid got the best of the Joker in Philadelphia a week ago, can the 2-time MVP respond? Find out in my Same Game Parlay bet below!

Let’s dive into my SGP bet now!

Nikola Jokic 2+ Made Threes (+230)

Tobias Harris to Score 20+ Points (+180)

Same Game Parlay odds: +670

Nikola Jokic 2+ Made Threes (+230)

Jokic was the lone bright spot for head coach Michael Malone in Denver’s 122-84 loss at Madison Square Garden a couple of nights ago. The Serbian posted 31 points on 13-for-18 shooting, but more importantly for our bet he went 2-for-3 from downtown. It was the 3rd time in 4 Games he has been able to clear this line and at a tasty +230 odds I think it’s worth backing him to do so once again vs his biggest rival Embiid. The Joker has been on fire from downtown over the last 10 Games, knocking down almost 53% of his attempts. He’s made at least 1 three in 6 of the last 7 meetings with Embiid, he was also a perfect 2-for-2 from three exactly 1 year ago when these two teams met in Philadelphia. Outside of Embiid, the Sixers aren’t really equipped to handle a player like him, and with the big fella concentrated mainly on scoring the basketball, I think Jokic will come out firing from all over the place. Making one from distance early in the Game would be great, so let’s hope his hot shooting streak continues here.

Tobias Harris to Score 20+ Points (+180)

We’re at a point where it makes no sense whatsoever to back Embiid to score 30 points (-600 odds), so instead I’ve opted for Tobias Harris to have a solid game here. January has been a very productive month for him, he’s scoring 19.4 points per game in his last 9 outings on an impressive 51.6% from the field and 36.4% from three. Beating the Nuggets on the road will be a tough task, without contributions from Maxey and Harris I don’t think the Sixers will stand a chance here. A week ago in Philadelphia, Harris had one of his better games of the entire month vs Denver, going for 24 points on an efficient 8-for-10 shooting. He’s cleared this line 5 times in 9 games played this month, in his last 2 visits to Ball Arena he finished with 16 and 17 points. Tyrese Maxey is questionable to play here with an ankle sprain, if he’s unable to go that automatically elevates Harris to being the 2nd scoring option behind Embiid. The Sixers will need him to deliver, I’m confident he can do just that.

Drivers reveal contrasting views on F1 four-week break

Several F1 drivers have given contrasting views on the current four-week break between races. Following the cancellation of the Chinese Grand Prix – originally scheduled for 16 April – Formula 1 opted not to replace the event, meaning that a gap opened up between the races in Australia and Azerbaijan. Charles Leclerc is amongst those to welcome the opportunity for the team to put some extra work in, given Ferrari's difficult start to the 2023 season. "I think in the situation we are in as a team, we take this as an opportunity to work as much as possible during this break in order to get upgrades as quickly as possible and be as com Pet itive as we want the sooner in this season," Leclerc told media, including TheFOXposts.Com . "It's still a very, very long season, we've only done two races. So, we are fully motivated to get back on top. And we'll try to use these weeks in the best way possible." Mixed feelings for some Fo...

Super League chief claims 20 clubs have agreed to join project

The co-founder of A22 Sports Management, the group behind the Super League project , has claimed that 20 clubs have already given their approval to joining the new com Pet ition if it ever gets off the ground. Despite widespread criticism from fans across the globe, A22 continue to try and bring the Super League to life and found renewed hope last month when a court ruled that neither FIFA nor UEFA had the power to punish any teams who wished to take part - one of the most severe deterrents from the initial storm back in April 2021. With that knowledge in the back pocket, A22 chief Anas Laghrari revealed talks have been held with over 50 clubs about joining the Super League and claimed they have received enough support to actually get the project underway. "I don't want to say their names because I don't want to expose them," Laghrari told Ouest France . "Since December 21, we have spoken with around 50 different clubs. About 20 of them are very, very motiva...
