I've played this same number for what seems like 6 weeks in a row now. I'm riding it until it loses. 

Brandon Cooks for 2.5 rec is also a good one again. Most of the props suck this week and didn't offer half of the ones I wanted.

Week 18 is pretty much dead. Too many variables to put an entire card together

Bruce Brown is very dependable with Halliburton out.  I grabbed him at O12.5 pt.  Wouldn’t be surprised if he hits O14.5 by tip.

hit that over 2 of his last 3 starts. Only 3 of his last 10 though. but with Haliburton out and playing against washington, i'm willing to go with it. I will probably wait until tip off, hope he doesn't score a quick bucket, and use my 25% live profit boost on fanduel.

I could never use the boost on him, it was locked down

What props do you guys like for FD's No sweat same game parlay tonight ?

Not sure.  NBA props are a little quirky.  I usually only run them when there’s an attached anomaly in the situation (like Halliburton being out last night). I don’t do the FD no sweat a lot because you gotta be +400, right?  The blowouts in NBA are making things hard.  Props. Cash has a filter I may start using with stats for players in their games where they win or lose by 10to 15+ points.

[WhiteWonder 2,734]

Blowouts will kill it. Have to stick to 1 or 2 games to minimize the risk of one blowout ruining your parlay. Will still happen though. 
 

3 legs will get you that +400 normally but I like to lower someone’s points down let’s say from 28.5 to “25+” and do 4 legs

Yes around +400 and almost hit a 3 leg free one last week but haven't followed the NBA that much in the last year or two and my 3rd prop was a dud. I'll try to figure another one for tonight's no sweat.

I'm really not trying to get into the NBA parlays and just doing the no sweat Thursday ones but they have to be SGP's.

One thing I like to do if I play an SGP, is to take whatever my wager would be and split it 4 ways and make 4 separate tickets.  Then add two legs to each ticket to include the O/U and spread. This will take advantage of a Fanduel algorithm and will usually really boost 2 of the 4 tix. The other 2  will be slightly lower, but usually about not too much lower than what your regular payout would be on the parlay.
 

For example, if your gonna put down a 5 leg prop parlay tonight  with +307 odds on Mavs game, a 5 dollar bet gets you $15.40.  If you make 4 tix at $1.25 you will get one of the following payouts…$11.38, $12.77, $21.19, or $31.12. So you risk a lower payout for chance to double your payout.  But, you have to subtract the other $3.75 from total winnings because you know your gonna lose 3 of 4 bets.

I’ll throw one together, but will prob only be +100 odds.  With blow out potentials, I like to use alt unders.  I’m smoking a parlay on the Cavs game now.  Standby. I’ll use OKC game.  With 14 pt spread, starters should do light duty. Hopefully.

[WhiteWonder 2,734]

The thing is its a risk free SGP/SGP+ so theres really no reason not to do +400 odds to qualify or even longer. If you lose, and get the wager back as a free bet, you can turn around and bet it on something much "safer".

I hear ya. I wouldn't bother with a 5 leg parlay that was only +307, but I understand what you're saying as an example. 

Bet each individual prop along with the over/under and spread so you end up with 4  three leg tickets for the same cost.  But in your example what happens to leg 5 or did you mean 4 legs at +307?

Exactly and will do a $10 one and if it doesn't work will use it on a nfl bet this weekend that I would have bet on anyways. If I would win the free bet then it's a extra 50 bucks or more .

to some degree they are easier than NFL player prop parlays.  With NBA you have to worry about blowouts killing you when teams pull their starters in the 4th BUT on the flip side you worry less about an injury instantly killing your play. NBA is also a little less dependent on game flow/script. If the game is still close, the stars usually do what they do, whereas an NFL team can abandon the run, milk the clock, etc. 

I have more fun with NFL because I care about it more

Dort Under 6.5 Reb.  Only hit in 2 of last 20 and 11% for season

Once you add the O\U and spread variable too each ticket, it goes anywhere from +890 to +2450

[BeenHereBefore 1,517]

I tried to make a easiest one possible for $10 and not get greedy, +459 $10 to win $45.53

Bobby Portis O 5.5 rebounds

Antentokounpo O 32.5 points

Jaylen Brown O 23.5 points

yeah i got ya, I was just curious because you said 5 legs on the Mavs game at +307 and then broke it down to 4 tix at $1.25 adding the over/under and spread to each.  Maybe I am not getting it. What is on each of those 4 tickets along with the o/u and spread?  it's a single player prop right?

It’s just 4 tix.  It’s the same parlay on each, you joust change the o/u and spread on each so you’re guaranteeing a win on those two legs.  You’re splitting $5 into 4 different tix for 1.25 each

And honestly if I was in the mood to build an nba parlay tonight, without a no sweat, those are the two games I’d have my eye on anyway. 

i ended up doing Brown, Tatum, Dame, Giannis 30+ and AD 25+.   +1300  

Austin Reaves interests me as does Lebron. I don’t like the numbers on KD/Booker/Beal with all three playing and it seems a waste to play them down. 
AD rebounds might be good as well
