The second night of quarterfinal games for the new NBA in-season tournament will take place Tuesday night.

Here are the two matchups:

New York Knicks at Milwaukee Bucks, 7:30 p.m. ET
Phoenix Suns at Los Angeles Lakers, 10 p.m. ET

If you’re looking to bet on these two exciting games, what better way to do so than with a same-game parlay? By combining multiple selections within the game, you can greatly increase the odds associated with your wager.

Knicks vs. Bucks same-game parlay: Take the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard overs (+400 or better)

Bucks -1.5
Giannis Antetokounmpo props: Over 30.5 points
Damian Lillard props: Over 7.5 assists

The first same game parlay that we have for the Knicks vs. Bucks game has odds of +400. This means that if you bet $100 and win, you’ll get a total of $500 back when you count your winnings and stake.

The first thing that needs to happen is for the Bucks to win by at least 2 points. They are the better team and they’re favored in this one by 5. Getting them to win by 2 points is not a big ask.

Next, you just need two of the best players on the Bucks to have good games. Antetokounmpo is one of the top players in the entire NBA and will be motivated to play well considering it’s the in-season tournament.

Lillard is the team’s point guard and should be able to pick up eight assists as the Knicks key in on his shooting ability, opening up passing lanes.

Lakers vs. Suns same-game parlay picks: LeBron James and Kevin Durant overs (+225 or better)

LeBron James scoring props: Over 26.5 points
Kevin Durant props: Over 28.5 points

If you’re looking for a bit of a safer parlay, look to this option where you can bet on two of the greatest to ever do it to go over their player prop point totals. The odds are +225, meaning that you can win $325 (if you bet $100) if you’re correct with your pick.

While both LeBron and Durant are getting older, they are showing no signs of slowing down. The two are still among the best in the league at all sorts of things, including putting the ball in the basket.

Look for these two to go over their player prop point total line and make things interesting for those that take this wager.
