NBA parlay picks Nov. 28: Bet on the Milwaukee Bucks at +333

There are eight games in today's NBA In-Season Tournament slate and we're pulling bets from three of them for this parlay.

The pregame narrative: The Milwaukee Bucks are rolling and should take care of a shorthanded Miami Heat team on the road. Elsewhere, Donovan Mitchell and Jalen Brunson are solid bets to score 25 points apiece against awful defensive opponents.

Here are some NBA parlay picks for November 28.

NBA oddsas of 10:37 a.m. on 11/28/2023.

NBA parlay picks

Parlay: Bucks moneyline + Mitchell over 24.5 points + Brunson over 24.5 points (+333)

Bucks moneyline (-148): It took a little while, but the Damian Lillard trade is paying off. Milwaukee has won seven of its past eight games and its new point guard has found a nice rhythm.

Lillard is averaging 28.9 points per game in his last seven on 45.0% shooting. In that same span, Giannis Antetokounmpo is putting up 30.5 points to pair with 12.3 rebounds. How do you stop that? Opposing teams are still trying to figure it out.

To beat Milwaukee you need to score and Miami is going to have a hard time doing that with Tyler Herro sidelined. Jimmy Butler is also listed as questionable with an ankle injury, and that's worth monitoring throughout the day.

Other picks

Mitchell over 24.5 points (-210): Mitchell is coming off his worst game of the season — a 10-point, 4-of-17 performance against the Toronto Raptors — but there's good reason to believe he rebounds tonight.

His Cleveland Cavaliers go up against an Atlanta Hawks team that doesn't play much defence. Atlanta is 24th in defensive rating (117.1) and 26th in points allowed per game (121.1). The Hawks also allow the third-most points per game to opposing shooting guards, per Fantasy Pros.

Mitchell has cleared this total in 47 of 80 starts since the beginning of last season

Brunson over 24.5 points (-136): When Brunson gets going, he's hard to stop. The New York Knicks point guard has caught fire lately and is averaging 28.3 points per game on 51.4% shooting in his past seven games.

He cleared this total in five of those games and landed on exactly 24 points in the outlying contests.

Brunson should torch the Charlotte Hornets tonight. Charlotte has the worst defensive rating (120.0) in the NBA and plays with the sixth-fastest pace (101.06). That means there will be plenty of opportunities for Brunson to fill the bucket.
