NBA Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics same game parlay picks: Celtics ride Jaylen Brown at +657 odds

After a huge win in the series opener on Monday, the 76ers are trying to go up 2-0 on the Celtics as the two teams meet up in Game 2 at TD Garden. Tip-off is live at 8 pm on TNT, I’ve prepared a Same Game Parlay which you can find below.

Last night I landed a +608 odds Miami Heat vs New York Knicks Same Game Parlay, so let’s go for back-to-back winners tonight!

Let’s dive into my SGP bet now.

Jaylen Brown to Score 25+ Points (-125)

Marcus Smart Over 1.5 Made Threes (-162)

James Harden to Record 10+ Assists (+165)

Same Game Parlay odds: +657

Jaylen Brown to Score 25+ Points (-125)

To start off the Parlay I have Jaylen Brown redeeming himself after a somewhat unusual Game 1. You might be asking what’s unusual about a player scoring 23 points on 80% shooting from the field? Well, the issue is he attempted only 10 shots total in that game which is far too little for a player of his caliber at this stage of the season. He also turned the ball over 4 times, as a team the Celtics committed 10 more than the Sixers did in Game 1 and that cost them the game in my opinion. Game 2 is pretty much a must win scenario for the Celtics as the series shifts to Philadelphia for the next 2 games and they simply cannot afford to go down 2-0 here. Brown has had a really solid postseason so far averaging 26.1 points per game on over 56% shooting from the field and better than 54% from three. He’s scored at least 25 points in 4 of the 6 games played in the Atlanta series, so I’m hopeful he adds to his total from Game 1 tonight.

Marcus Smart Over 1.5 Made Threes (-162)

Another player that left a lot to be desired after that series opener is definitely Marcus Smart. He turned the ball over a team-high 6 times and scored just 12 points without making a three-pointer on 2 attempts. His passiveness on offense meant that James Harden didn’t have to do much defensively which saved a lot of energy and allowed him to score 45 points on Monday, the same could be said for Derrick White as well. I’m looking for a response from him in Game 2, especially from the three-point line. So far in this postseason run he’s scored at least 2 threes in 5 of 7 games played while shooting over 36% which is in line with his season averages. For his career in 15 Game 2s he’s averaging 2.1 threes made per game on 33% efficiency. Head coach Joe Mazzulla needs to get him more involved on offense, so let’s hope that’s one of the adjustments he makes in this game.

James Harden to Record 10+ Assists (+165)

Not a lot of people envisioned Harden’s heroics would happen in Game 1, but the Beard once again turned back the clock proving his doubters wrong. I can’t even remember the last time we saw him take 30 shot attempts in a game, 14 of which came from the perimeter. For Game 2 I’m expecting a slightly different approach from him, with more emphasis on getting his teammates involved. He has only 6 assists in Game 1 which was still a team-high by a wide margin. The newly crowned Embiid probably won’t play in Game 2, but that’s okay as there’s plenty of other players he can pass the ball to on offense. The consistent Tobias Harris had 18 on 50% shooting, the always energetic Tyrese Maxey added 26 and De’Anthony Melton chipped in 17 off the bench. Prior to the Game 1 explosion, Harden had double-digit assists in 3 of 5 regular season games vs Boston, totalling 11, 11 and 10 in those games. In another high paced game I feel like it shouldn’t be too much of an issue for him to reach 10 dimes.
