Team USA continues their journey on Wednesday, 7/31/24, facing South Sudan led by former NBA Star Luol Deng. After almost being upset by the African team in their exhibition match, South Sudan quieted critics with a follow-up come from behind victory against Puerto Rico 90-79. Team USA also took care of business in their opener against Nikola Jokic and Team Serbia 110-84. As Group Play continues we’ve got two parlay boosts from FanDuel and DraftKings lined up to get in on the action. Using the Oddsjam Parlay Builder, we aim to find the best options that fit the booster requirements while reducing the risk of human bias. With football season around the corner, we’re trying to extract value in these final weeks.
First up, we have a 3-leg parlay on FanDuel, boosted from +410 to +533:
1. Anthony Davis to record 8 Rebounds – Davis will be a key player down low, especially since South Sudan’s lineup lacks size. He grabbed 8 boards against Serbia, and with Kerr shifting away from big man-heavy lineups, Davis should see more rebounding opportunities.
2. LeBron James Over 6.5 Assists – LeBron’s leadership on and off the floor is crucial for Team USA. He dished out 9 assists in the first game and, given the talent gap, he’ll likely find plenty of open teammates against South Sudan to surpass this mark.
3. Kevin Durant Over 14.5 Points – Durant, one of LeBron’s top targets, was unstoppable in the first game against Serbia. With South Sudan’s smaller lineup, he’s primed to easily exceed 14.5 points if he maintains his scoring pace.
Our second parlay on DraftKings features 4 legs, boosted from +415 to +622:
1. Tyrese Haliburton 5+ Rebounds – Steve Kerr caught flak for the DNP he gave Jayson Tatum against Serbia but not as much for another budding star on the roster Tyrese Haliburton. Kerr responded that he changes his lineup based on matchups so Haliburton, a versatile 6’5″ guard, can be expected to see more time. He should also be able to rack up rebounds against the smaller South Sudan squad after sitting out against Serbia who packed the paint.
2. Under 197.5 Alternate O/U – The regular over/under is set at 191.5. Team USA is likely to score over 100 points, but will they clamp down on defense after almost being upset by South Sudan in their exhibition match? Even with a line at -29.5, this under seems safe barring any overtime.
3. Devin Booker 8+ Points – Booker, a consistent scorer, put up 12 points against Serbia. Expect him to continue his scoring streak.
4. Kevin Durant Under 2.5 3PM – Serbia forced Durant to take perimeter shots, and he went 5/5 from beyond the arc. Against South Sudan, he should find more lanes and focus on his all-around game, making this under likely.
