Perhaps more importantly, Giannis leads the NBA in points in the paint per game, averaging 19.5. Meanwhile, the Sacramento Kings, have allowed the seventh-most points in the paint per game. Overall, Sacramento ranks 22nd in opponents points per game. Look for the Milwaukee Bucks star to take advantage of Sacramento's poor defense by scoring at least 32 points.

NBA Parlay Leg #3: Paolo Banchero Over 20.5 Points (-104)

Paolo Banchero has lived up to the hype of being selected first overall in the 2022 NBA Draft. Banchero leads all rookies in scoring, averaging 21.7 points per game while shooting 44.9% from the field. Blake Griffin, who sat out a season before debuting, is the only player since Allen Iverson in 1996-1997 to match or exceed Banchero's scoring average.

Banchero has scored at least 21 points in 10 of his 18 games played this season. While the Los Angeles Clippers have been a top-five defensive unit, they will be without several key pieces. Furthermore, Banchero will get his touches as he is on pace to have the sixth-highest usage rate of any rookie since tracking began in 1977-1978. Look for the Orlando Magic rookie to score at least 21 points.
