It’s a busy night on Thanksgiving Eve in the NBA with a total of 12 games being played. ESPN has a tasty doubleheader for us and I’m focusing on the LA Clippers vs Golden State Warriors game at 10:00 pm ET. Don’t forget to check out our NBA picks for predictions on the side and total for each of tonight’s 12 games. But for now, let’s dive into our Clippers vs Warriors Same Game Parlay.

LA Clippers +9.5 (-110)

Steph Curry under 4.5 made threes (-104)

Klay Thompson under 3.5 made threes (-140)

Draymond Green over 6.5 rebounds (-128)

Same Game Parlay odds: +938

LA Clippers +9.5 over Golden State Warriors (-110)

There is no Kawhi Leonard, Paul George or Luke Kennard tonight for the Clippers, which means they are huge underdogs on the road against the defending champions. Having no Kawhi shouldn’t be an issue for this team as they are used to playing without him, but with PG13 not being able to suit up, their offense takes a huge hit. Kennard’s 3-point shooting will also be missed, so on paper, this should be a wrap for the defending champs, right? Well, not necessarily.

We just saw the 76ers beat the Nets last night without their 3 best players, so I wouldn’t say this game is over before it starts. The Warriors have been dominant at home, winning 7 of 8, but in head-to-head meetings with the Clippers, they are just 4-6 over the last 10 games. I’m not a fan of backing teams to blow out their opponents, so I’m going to take my chances backing the Clippers.

Steph Curry under 4.5 made threes (-104)

If the Clippers want to get anything out of tonight’s game, then holding the Splash Bros to a reasonable amount of points would be a step in the right direction. Steph has been playing well lately, knocking down at least 5 threes in 3 games straight, but he has to cool off some time. He just took a game off against the Pelicans, which could disrupt his rhythm. He didn’t have the best of games last time he played the Clippers, finishing with just 15 points on a pedestrian 1-for-6 shooting from the three-point line.

If anyone can stop Steph from scoring a ton of points, it’s the Clippers. Los Angeles ranks 2nd in defensive rating and they are only 23rd in pace of play. Their three-point defense is also among the best in the league, opponents are making just 33.8% of threes per game against them.

Klay Thompson under 3.5 made threes (-140)

All of the above also applies to Klay Thompson. Over the past 3 games, the Clippers have held the Jazz, Spurs and Pistons to just 26.3% shooting from the perimeter. Granted, the Warriors are a different animal, but I’m still expecting the Clippers to contest most of Golden State’s shots here.

Klay’s struggles have been well-documented this season, as he attempts to regain his pre-injury form. At home, he’s shooting just 34.4% from downtown — far too low for a player of his caliber. He did explode for 41 points in the game at Houston a couple of nights ago, but he’s scored under 3.5 threes in 3 of his last 6 games. The Clippers have had his number in recent head-to-head meetings, holding him to just 2, 1, 2 ,0, and 2 made threes over the past 5 games. I like their chances of keeping him in check here as well.

Our NBA mega parlay for tonight has +829 odds!

Draymond Green over 6.5 rebounds (-128)

Golden State’s Achilles heel this season has been rebounding — they average just 49.6 boards a night which ranks only 24th in the NBA. However, there’s a huge disparity in rebounds per game at home compared to on the road – at home, they are at 54.6 per game, which is what I’m basing my optimism on with this bet. Most of the rebounding is done by Kevon Looney and Draymond Green on the inside, and I’m expecting Looney to have his hands full dealing with Ivica Zubac, which should leave a ton of space for Green to get to his average here.

In his last 7 games, Green has secured 7 or more rebounds on 5 occasions. Assuming both Steph and Klay struggle shooting the three-ball here (which we are counting on), that would mean more rebounding opportunities on the offensive end as well.
