The first Tuesday of the 2026 NBA playoffs features a trio of Game 2 matchups, two of which have double-digit spreads. Those are Celtics vs. 76ers (+14.5) and Spurs vs. Blazers (+11.5), while the other contest is Lakers vs. Rockets (-4.5), with those NBA odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook. You can target alternate lines with longshot picks for an NBA parlay, while predicting a top scorer is also an NBA prop one can seek. Luke Kennard's 27 points were nine more than anyone in Game 1, and predicting a similar performance could result in a huge payday.
Kennard being the top scorer in Game 2 of Rockets vs. Lakers would notch a +2300 payout. That could be a standalone NBA playoffs bet, or you could string it along with other player props and predictions in your Tuesday NBA parlay.
