NBA bet of the night: Pace powers +206 parlay

We have a packed NBA slate this Tuesday, and two games in particular should see plenty of points, making them great targets for prop bets.

The Lakers-Nets and Spurs-Rockets games both consist of teams that rank inside the top 10 of pace of play.

When highlighting NBA props, it all comes back to pace for me. The faster the game moves, the more scoring chances each team should have.

Aiding our chase for points are the over/unders for these games, two of the three highest tonight.

We have a two-leg parlay for these two games at +206 odds on DraftKings.

+206 Threes Made Parlay

We are looking at just two shooters in this one, both with reasonable 1.5 threes made lines.

Keldon Johnson over 1.5 threes made

We start with Keldon Johnson of the Spurs, who has gone over this line in eight straight games and 17 of his last 20.

That's elite consistency, and it should continue tonight against Houston.

The Rockets allow the sixth-most threes per game, and they also have struggled slowing down shooting guards this season.

Houston seems to be a great target every night on the court, playing faster than anyone and having the worst defensive efficiency in the league.

Johnson is averaging 5.5 three-point attempts per game in his last 10, and I'll ride this volume and steady hit rate.

Kessler Edwards over 1.5 threes made

With Kevin Durant injured, it's been Kessler Edwards who has stepped up.

The rookie forward has averaged 34.3 minutes per game in his last five, chucking up 4.6 threes per game in that span.

Edwards has gone over this total in three of these five games and gets a Lakers team that ranks 21st in three-points allowed and plays a fast brand of basketball.

With James Harden and Kyrie Irving likely to command much of the defensive attention, I like Edwards to continue shooting.

In a fast-paced game, the opportunities should be there.

I really like this parlay at +206 odds. Both of these games should see plenty of scoring, and I love seeing teams that both play fast going at it. Consider these games for props or betting the overs. 

We noted earlier that three of the four teams highlighted here rank inside the top 10 against their overs. Pace matters. Good luck tonight!
