Today's NBA same-game parlay picks: Jaylen Brown key for Celtics-Knicks model parlay, plus more SGP picks

The Indiana Pacers have already punched their ticket to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the New York Knicks can join them with a Game 6 victory over the Boston Celtics, who are without star Jayson Tatum, who tore his Achilles in Game 4. Boston rebounded from losing Tatum and losing Game 4 with a big Game 5 win to keep its hopes alive, and the defending champs can force a Game 7 back at home with a road win in New York on Friday. 

Jaylen Brown and Derrick White were key to Boston forcing Game 6, and those two are also key for Friday's NBA same-game parlay created using the SportsLine Projection Model.
