Nets vs Lakers Same Game Parlay Picks for Jan 17
1. Brooklyn Nets ATS (+10½)
With Brooklyn fresh off a 59-point beatdown against the Clippers, it doesn’t exactly scream confidence – I’m betting on Brooklyn to cover the spread.
SG Cam Thomas is sitting this one out, and SF Cameron Johnson is listed as a game-time decision (per updated Nets vs. Lakers injuries). But this Nets squad still comes with a deep roster of role players who can chip in when needed. Guys such as F Jalen Wilson (9.2 points), F Tosun Evbuomwan (10.4 points), and F Zaire Williams (9.5 points) – and let’s not forget PG D’Angelo Russell (12.4 points), who’s suiting up tonight against his former team. You can definitely expect him to have a little extra pep in his step tonight.

Adding to that, you can’t overlook Brooklyn when it comes to non-conference matchups. Outside of their awful performance against the Clippers, they have been a cash-in opportunity in non-conference play, sitting at 9-5 against the spread.
If you’re looking for a direct deposit to your bank account with betting online, it’s taking Brooklyn to hold their own.
2. Nets vs Lakers Over 216½ Points
Both teams might be missing some key players tonight – SF LeBron James and PF Anthony Davis are both game-time decisions (per updated Nets vs. Lakers injuries) – but I’m still expecting this game to smash the 216½ total point mark.

No matter who’s on the court, both teams have had a habit of hitting the over all season long. And let’s face it: defense isn’t exactly either team’s strong suit. With plenty of offensive firepower left on both sides, expect a fast-paced game full of trading buckets. Bet on the over to hit before the final buzzer.

3. Laker SG Austin Reaves Under 18.5 Points (-117)
For my NBA player prop pick, I’m locking in SG Austin Reaves to finish with under 18.5 points. He’s been dishing out assists like he’s handing out free samples at a supermarket, averaging more than nine in his last nine games. And tonight, I’m expecting more of the same – keeping the ball moving and letting others take the scoring spotlight.

Let’s not get it twisted: Reeves can fill it up when needed, averaging 17.9 points on the year. But breaking the 19-point mark tonight? Not buying it. Sure, he’ll probably notch double digits – he’s hovered between 12 and 15 points in his recent outings – but don’t expect a scoring spree. Bank on Reeves to keep it under 18.5 points.
