Best NBA Parlay Picks Today, Sunday 04/05 (3-Leg) Featuring LeBron James!: High Probability Plays

As the Raptors head to Boston, all eyes will be on Scottie Barnes, but targeting him for under 8.5 assists feels like a savvy move. Despite his impressive season, recent trends suggest a dip in his playmaking when on the road. In his last five games, he's averaged just 9.2 assists away from home, and when facing the Celtics, that number drops even further to a mere 3.8. Boston's defense is no joke, effectively stifling playmakers like Barnes, who has averaged only 6.2 assists against them. The Raptors' offense tends to run through multiple players, which can dilute Barnes' opportunities. With a solid hit rate of 13 out of his last 16 games falling under this line away, it's clear he's due for a quieter night in Beantown. Betting the under here feels like a smart play, especially with the Celtics' defensive prowess looming large.

LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers) Under 34.5 Points + Assists (-122)

As LeBron James gears up to face the Dallas Mavericks, the betting spotlight shines on his points and assists prop, set at 34.5. However, recent form suggests that going under may be the savvy play. Over his last five games, LeBron has averaged just 17 points and 7.4 assists, with his away performances dipping even further to 15.8 points and 7 assists. When squaring off against the Mavericks, who have tightened their defensive screws, he's averaged 20.6 points and 7 assists overall, but that drops to 26.4 points and 6 assists on the road-numbers that don't paint a favorable picture for hitting the over. With a perfect 20-for-20 hit rate on the under in his last 20 games away, it's clear that the King is more about facilitating and less about dominating the scoreboard in hostile territory. Taking the under here feels like a wise move.
