Wong's Parlay-A-Day Challenge Feb. 2: NBA special leading with Doncic dimes

Article content

If you’re like me, I enjoy a parlay bet to spice things up while watching sports. For February, I’m going to play (as the title of this article says) a parlay every day (Monday to Friday) and post it in a daily article. I’ll keep track of the results here, and we’ll see where I end up after the month. Every parlay bet will be a one-unit wager unless otherwise noted.

One piece of advice: If you’re joining me on this challenge, ensure you’re responsible with your bankroll. Parlay bets can be fun, but they can be difficult to win consistently. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

February 1st recap: Sebastian Aho over 2.5 shots on goal + Morgan Rielly over 1.5 shots on goal (+159, Betano). Betting 1 unit to win 1.59 units.  LOSS (0-1, -1 unit)

The challenge starts off with a loss as Aho had two shots on goal in the first period, but failed to hit three. Meanwhile, Morgan Rielly put up a donut with zero shots on goal against Boston.

*Odds as of 12pm ET*

February 2nd Parlay: Luka Doncic over 7.5 assists + Anthony Davis over 24.5 points + Donovan Mitchell over 2.5 made threes (+430, Betano)

Doncic is only averaging 6.8 assists in the month of January, but that would seem to just be a blip on the radar for someone that has averaged 8 dimes for his entire NBA career. In Doncic’s last game against New Orleans he put up a triple-double with 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Look for Luka Magic to get back to his dime dropping ways.

In his three games back from injury, Anthony Davis has gone over 24 points just once, scoring 27 against the Knicks in his last game. However, on the season he’s averaging 26.8 points per game and should be able to hit this number against a Pacers team that have been friendly to opposing centres this year. In the last meeting between the Lakers and the Pacers, Davis scored 25 points. This game has a total of 240.5 and should produce plenty of points.

Donovan Mitchell has taken his game to another level in his first year with Cleveland. On the season, he’s is averaging 3.7 made three-pointers. Memphis has allowed the 5th most three-point attempts in the NBA giving “Spida” plenty of opportunity to fire from deep.
