Half a dozen games on Thursday's NBA schedule provides ample opportunities to find NBA longshot picks and props for a basketball parlay. First basket scorers are very popular, as are predicting the winning margins of teams and playing the alternate NBA lines. Lakers vs. Thunder (-9) will be an interesting game to target in an NBA longshot parlay as OKC has defeated L.A. in three straight. The Thunder have an 18-point average margin of victory across those three games, so instead playing the alternate NBA spread of OKC (-17.5) could be a lucrative prediction in an NBA parlay that returns +245.
