Black Friday Round Robin Parlay: A High-Upside Holiday Parlay

Skip the lines at the mall. The best Black Friday deals aren’t in the electronics aisle—they’re on the field and on the hardwood. If you are nursing a Thanksgiving food coma and looking for a fun way to sweat the day’s slate, we have found the perfect narrative thread: The Name Game - an All-Jalen Round Robin Parlay.

Friday’s schedule features a massive crossover of athletes named Jalen (or Jaylen), led by Philadelphia’s QB1 and New York’s King of the Court. By digging into the Dimers Pro player projections hubs, we’ve identified significant value on five specific "Jalens" to score first in their respective games.

Because First Touchdown and First Basket markets are high-variance, we are packaging these into a Round Robin Parlay. This allows us to shoot for the moon on the parlay payouts while providing a safety net—if just two or three of these Jalens hit, you could still be looking at a profitable Black Friday.

Here is the Dimers Pro "All-Jalen" Round Robin Parlay for Friday, November 28, 2025.

Black Friday Parlay: The Anchors

NFL First Touchdown: Jalen Hurts (Eagles)

Matchup: Chicago Bears @ Philadelphia Eagles

The Data: 11.3% Probability | +500 Odds

The Tush Push remains the most inevitable play in football. With the Eagles hosting the Bears, the Dimers Pro NFL player projections model gives Jalen Hurts an 11.3% probability to cross the plane first. Hurts is the engine of the Philadelphia offense, specifically in the red zone. Getting 5/1 odds on the quarterback to plunge in for the opening score is a fantastic foundation for our ticket.

NBA First Basket: Jalen Brunson (Knicks)

Matchup: Milwaukee Bucks @ New York Knicks

The Data: 13.91% Probability | +480 Odds

The Knicks are at Madison Square Garden, and Jalen Brunson loves to set the tone early. The Dimers Pro NBA player projections model identifies Brunson as one of the most likely first scorers in this matchup with a strong 13.91% probability. Against a Bucks defense that can struggle against aggressive guards, Brunson at +480 is a premier value play to anchor the NBA side of the slip.

Black Friday Parlay: High Value Targets

NBA First Basket: Jalen Duren (Pistons)

Matchup: Orlando Magic @ Detroit Pistons

The Data: 11.95% Probability | +800 Odds

It’s the Battle of the Jalens in Detroit as the Pistons host the Magic. While Orlando’s Jalen Suggs (+850, 10.68% prob) is also a viable option here, the Dimers Pro models give the edge to the big man in the middle.

The Pistons will look to establish presence in the paint early. Jalen Duren holds an 11.95% probability to score the first bucket. At +800, Duren offers slightly better mathematical value than Suggs, making him our pick for the Round Robin.

NBA First Basket: Jalen Johnson (Hawks)

Matchup: Cleveland Cavaliers @ Atlanta Hawks

The Data: 11.59% Probability | +650 Odds

Jalen Johnson has emerged as a legitimate offensive focal point for Atlanta. Facing a tough Cavs defense, the Hawks may look to their athletic forward to break the ice. The projections model gives Johnson an 11.59% probability of cashing this ticket, making the +650 price tag a solid addition to the portfolio.

NBA First Basket: Jaylen Wells (Grizzlies)

Matchup: Memphis Grizzlies @ LA Clippers

The Data: 10.81% Probability | +1000 Odds

Every great parlay needs a longshot, and Jaylen Wells is ours. The Grizzlies youngster has been fearless, and with an implied probability of 10.81%, the model suggests he is being undervalued by the books at +1000 (10/1). If the Grizzlies win the tip, look for Wells to be active immediately.

The Round Robin Parlay Strategy

Betting five "First Scorer" props in a straight 5-leg parlay is a lottery ticket. Instead, we recommend playing this as a Round Robin (By 2s and 3s).

The Play: Select all 5 players in your bet slip.

The Setting: Choose "Round Robin" or "System."

The Logic: By breaking this into smaller combinations (ten 2-team parlays and ten 3-team parlays), you guarantee a return if any two of these players score first. If Hurts and Brunson hit, you profit. If Duren, Johnson and Wells hit, you profit big.

If the "All-Jalen" team decides to show up and you hit 4 or 5? You’ll have plenty of extra cash for Cyber Monday.

Good luck, and enjoy the games!
