We’ve got two big NBA on TNT games tonight – Bulls vs. Nets and Timberwolves vs. Suns. Unfortunately, we cannot bet on Steve Nash to be thrown out of tonight’s game, as he was fired amid the Kyrie Irving anti-semitism controversy.
So now we are left with the Nets in shambles — not that they weren’t before. Jacque Vaughn is their interim coach for now (career 28.8% win percentage), and reports are that suspended coach Ime Udoka is about to walk in the door. What a mess.
Nothing left to do now but embrace the chaos and bet on tonight’s games. FanDuel Sportsbook is offering sweat-free SGP parlays on these two games. Let’s look at some favorable legs for your parlay, and be sure to opt in on the promos page.
Bulls vs. Nets tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT, and Timberwolves vs. Suns follows at 10:00 p.m.

Nets vs. Bulls: Kyrie Irving 3-pointers made ladder 2.5+ , 4+, 5+ (FanDuel)
This is not even a pick on the “Kyrie Irving revenge” narrative now that Steve Nash is gone. Although, he was the guy that said this team doesn’t even need a coach. Regardless, the Bulls have one of the worst 3-point defenses in the NBA.
They’re allowing 14.6 3-point field goals a game, which is the third-most in the league. We all know that the Nets love taking 3’s, including Kyrie Irving, who is averaging 9.86 threes attempted per game (third-most in the NBA).
You could also opt to back Kevin Durant’s 3-point ladder up to 5+ 3-pointers made, which comes in at +1260 on FanDuel.

Timberwolves vs. Suns: Anthony Edwards under 3.5 3-pointers made -162 (FanDuel)
To be clear, Anthony Edwards is a very good player. But the Suns’ defense against opposing two guards is impressive. Typically, they will see a steady diet of Mikal Bridges, Devin Booker, and the occasional switches with Chris Paul. Now, there is no Deandre Ayton to clog the paint, so that’s slightly concerning, which is why I am targeting his 3-point prop.
Edwards is under this number in all but one game this season and the Suns are averaging the least amount of 3-point field goals to opposing shooting guards. The Suns also have the lowest field goal percentage allowed to the position. You can also opt to target under 23.5 total points, too.
