The Reid and Davis 4 Leg Spectrum Center Parlay, by Agent Dime

Four lines. Naz Reid's and Dennis Schroder's points and Brandon Miller's assists for Charlotte, then Anthony Davis's points for Washington.

Kalshi has this one close to even, and Brandon Miller has made 7 of 35 threes this season. Davis had 9 points against Toronto, so his scoring has swung from night to night.
