Best parlay today with +607 odds

NBA: Kevin Durant Over 24.5 Points Scored

Matchup: Utah Jazz vs. Houston Rockets

Time: 8:00pm (ET)


We start our night in Houston, where Kevin Durant—now a focal point of the Rockets' 2026 offense—faces a struggling Utah Jazz defense. Our NBA player projections have Durant slated for 28 points, well clear of the 24.5 line. With a 56.8% probability and a massive 5.6% edge, Durant’s scoring efficiency against a Jazz team ranked in the bottom third of the league for opponent field goal percentage makes this prop bet from Jazz at Rockets the perfect first leg for today's parlay. According to Dimers' NBA trends, KD has exceeded this number in 8 of his last 13 appearances, also.

MLB: Grant Holmes Over 4.5 Strikeouts

Matchup: Atlanta Braves vs. Arizona Diamondbacks

Time: 9:45pm (ET)

Heading to Chase Field in Arizona, the Braves send Grant Holmes to the mound for his second start of the 2026 campaign. Following a rocky first outing, our MLB pitcher projections suggest Holmes can bounce back and suffocate a Diamondbacks lineup that can be prone to strikeouts. Despite no strong MLB trend, the model has still tagged this Over with a 62.6% probability of hitting. At -103 odds, we’re getting a 3.0% edge on a pitcher who only needs five punchouts in Braves at D-Backs to cash.

NHL: Leo Carlsson Under 2.5 Shots on Goal

Matchup: St. Louis Blues vs. Anaheim Ducks

Time: 10:00pm (ET)

We wrap up on the ice at the Honda Center in Anaheim. While Leo Carlsson is a rising star for the Ducks, the St. Louis Blues have tightened up defensively as they push toward the postseason. Furthermore, a look at Dimers' NHL trends reveals that Carlsson has stayed under this 2.5 shot total in 13 of his past 20 outings, and our model projects a 59.2% probability that he does so again tonight. This leg carries the highest edge of the parlay at 5.0%, providing excellent value from the tonight's matchup between the Blues and the Ducks in California.
