Sunday Night (134.08 - 118.88)

Monday (134.08 - 118.88)

DeVante Parker was Julio Think You Are? I Am! last hope. Parker had 3 games in the 2021 season that went for double digits, so it wasn't out of the realm of possibility. Parker needed to score 15.21 points to win, and when his team needed him the most, he wasn't even targeted in the game.
