ATS = Against the Spread. Picking a team to win or lose getting or giving points.
Parlay = A single bet that links together two or more individual wagers and is dependent on all of those wagers winning. The benefit is that the payout are much higher.
Teaser = A Teaser bet is a parlay in which you take more points or lay fewer points than the line, thus adjusting the point spread in your favor. However, the payout is worse then a parlay because of this.

O/U = Over/Under. This is a bet on the total number of points scored by both teams.

PER = Player Efficiency Rating; PER is a rating developed by ESPN.com columnist John Hollinger. In Hollinger's words, "The PER sums up all a player's positive accomplishments, subtracts the negative accomplishments, and returns a per-minute rating of a player's performance."
TS% = True Shooting Percentage; the formula is PTS / (2 * (FGA + 0.44 * FTA)). True shooting percentage is a measure of shooting efficiency that takes into account field goals, 3-point field goals, and free throws.
Usg% = Usage Percentage; the formula is 100 * ((FGA + 0.44 * FTA + TOV) * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm FGA + 0.44 * Tm FTA + Tm TOV)). Usage percentage is an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor.
