Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 1: Kyrie Irving OVER 25.5 Points
The Mavericks didn't need an all-world effort out of Kyrie Irving to pulverize Los Angeles during a 123-93 win in Game 5, as Irving only registered 14 points on 14 shot attempts in 35 minutes of action. Surprisingly enough, Wednesday marked Dallas' fourth-straight victory both SU and against the spread when Irving fails to score at least 20 points.
In games in which Irving is coming off a sub-20-point night, the 32-year-old guard averages 25.4 points with 2.9 made 3-pointers the very next game. He never tallied consecutive games this season with fewer than 20 points, which bodes well for his chances of hitting the OVER of 25.5 points on Friday.
Irving is actually leading Dallas in scoring at home this series with 30.5 points, which is a full five points ahead of superstar teammate Luka Doncic, who despite his 35-point showing in Game 5, is still dealing with some aches and pains.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 2: Ivica Zubac UNDER 9.5 Rebounds
After totaling double-digit boards in each of the first two games at Crypto.com Arena, Ivica Zubac has failed to secure more than eight in each of the last three. This includes a four-rebound performance in Game 4 which is by far his lowest number of 2023-24 when playing 30 minutes or more.
The 7-foot center is playing just five minutes in the fourth quarter of this series, as Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue elects to go much smaller to keep pace offensively late in tight games. Zubac is also a liability at the free-throw line as a career 73.9-percent shooter, which explains why his rebound numbers plummeted from 4.2 in the third quarter to just 0.6 in the fourth.
Those four boards in Game 4 when the Clippers led by as many as 31 points are indicative of this sharp decline he's had since if there was ever a night to gobble up missed shots, it was last Sunday.
Same-Game Parlay Pick No. 3: Luka Doncic UNDER 3.5 Made 3-Pointers
Any nagging injuries Doncic may be dealing with have yet to hinder his box scores, but it's clear his efficiency has taken somewhat of a hit. Doncic is only converting 41.7 percent of his shots and 26.3 percent from 3-point range, which drops to 34.7 percent and 17.4 percent, respectively, at home.
He'll need to convert four 3-pointers, at minimum, to reach the OVER in Game 6, which he's failed to do across each of his last three appearances shooting a combined 6-of-31 from behind the arc. The Mavericks went 32-11 SU during the season when Doncic drilled four or more perimeter looks.
Doncic still registered 35 points in Game 5 while only shooting 2-of-8 from 3-point range, with his OVER/UNDER for points on Friday set at 33.5. It's been a rough go as of late from deep, and while he may still reach the OVER in scoring, making four 3-pointers feels like a tall order based on his recent history.
