Michael Porter Jr. gave Brooklyn 23 points and nine rebounds in its win over Indiana, then 26 and ten in the win over Charlotte. For a Nets upset of Dallas, those performances put two different contributions in view: Porter’s scoring, or his work on the glass.
We use Brooklyn wins to look at those Porter options and Dallas losses to consider Caleb Martin’s assist under. The all-game records show where each stands outside that chosen result. These Nets parlay picks offer three choices through Side & Support Parlay Plays, including two routes on Porter that deserve to be compared rather than automatically combined.
Nets parlay picks: scoring, boards or an assist under
The records cover each player’s appearances with his current club across the 2025–26 and 2026–27 regular seasons. Brooklyn has only two wins this season, so Porter’s longer record matters here. Individual DraftKings prices were observed Sunday morning, November 8, and can change.

Michael Porter Jr.: 22+ points
Porter scored 23 in the Indiana win and 26 against Charlotte. Twenty-two leaves some room beneath both, without the heavier price attached to the lower scoring offers. It also lets you focus on the shots he finishes, rather than needing a particular rebounding or passing total.
The 22-point milestone and over 21.5 points both cost −117. Twenty points was −175, and eighteen was −276. All three covered the same fifteen Brooklyn wins in the longer sample. Across all 61 appearances, twenty covered 43 and eighteen covered 49, compared with forty at 22. The extra room has a purpose; it simply didn’t recover another winning appearance.
Moving up to 25 points paid +154. That would lose the 23-point Indiana win this season and reduce the longer record to twelve of sixteen wins and 34 of 61 appearances overall. The larger payout asks you to give up several games that supported the lower line.
The one winning miss at 22 came against Milwaukee last season. Porter scored twelve points in 26 minutes while Brooklyn won 127–82. A comfortable Nets victory can still come without a big scoring night from him.
His latest game was productive even in defeat: 25 points and nine rebounds over 36 minutes against Atlanta. The recent loss to New York was different—eighteen points in 37 minutes—and he also had ten against Indiana and thirteen against Detroit earlier this season. The record in Brooklyn wins is strong, but it doesn’t make every full-length outing a 22-point game.
Michael Porter Jr.: 6+ rebounds
If you’d rather back Porter on the boards, six rebounds offers a different kind of cushion. He had nine and ten in Brooklyn’s two wins this season, and nine again in the latest loss to Atlanta. This choice doesn’t require his scoring to reach 22.
Six rebounds cost −228. Seven was considerably lighter at −134, but it covered thirteen of the sixteen Brooklyn wins, compared with fifteen at six. Across all 61 appearances, seven covered 32, compared with 41 at six. Two winning totals of six make that extra board a meaningful request. Eight rebounds paid +124 and covered eleven of those wins and 26 appearances overall.
The lower five-board offer cost −438 and covered all sixteen wins and 49 of 61 appearances overall. It recovered the Philadelphia game last season, when Porter scored 28 points but collected only five rebounds over 34 minutes. That’s also a useful distinction between the two Porter options: his scoring could get home while his rebounding fell short. Against Milwaukee, the reverse happened—twelve points missed the scoring request, but six boards reached this one.
The latest rebounding run has support, but there have been clear misses. Porter collected five in the recent loss to New York and zero in 21 minutes in the earlier loss to Indiana. He can get his usual playing time and still finish a rebound short. His two strong winning games this season are encouraging alongside the longer record, rather than a large new sample by themselves.
Caleb Martin: Under 2.5 assists
Martin offers a way to consider an opposing player without needing his scoring to collapse. In Dallas’ win over Houston, he scored eight points over 25 minutes and had no assists. In the recent loss to Sacramento, he started, played 21 minutes and again finished without an assist. His other current-season loss ended with two assists against San Antonio.
The assist under cost −167, while over 2.5 was +127. The under covered exactly 80% of his Dallas losses across the two regular seasons. Its all-game rate was slightly higher, so the case is that a modest assist total has remained common in defeats—not that a Dallas loss makes the under more likely.
A combined rebounds-plus-assists under 5.5 cost −134, but it covered 31 of the forty losses and 49 of 63 appearances overall, compared with 32 losses and 51 appearances for the assist-only under. The Sacramento game shows the difference: Martin’s six rebounds lost the combined under even though his zero assists fit this one.
He’s stayed below three assists in all five appearances this season, with playing time ranging from eleven to 25 minutes. Those outings include two starts, so this isn’t a claim that he must come off the bench or play a fixed short stint. Last season’s losses included three assists in only seven minutes against Phoenix and five in seventeen minutes against Houston. Limited minutes can help an under, but they don’t guarantee it.

Scoring or rebounding: choose your Porter route
The 22-point offer has the lighter individual price; six rebounds gives you a way to leave Porter’s scoring out of the request. Their matching winning records came with different misses, and both still depend on the same player’s night. If Martin’s assist under fits your view of Dallas’ offense, it offers a separate choice without turning these three records into a prescribed parlay or a combined success rate.
