PHX Suns @ MIL Bucks · Game Totals

Over 224.5

Reasoning

Our Analysis

The Phoenix Suns have seen a real drop off in their defensive performances of late. In each of their last 3 games they have given up at least 124 points to their opponents. As a result, it is no surprise that over the last 5 games they have ranked dead last in defensive rating in the NBA. They will be taking on the Milwaukee Bucks who are ranked in the top half of the league in offensive rating during that stretch. They should continue to have success considering the drop off the Suns see when playing on the road. They allow 119 points per game when they play away from home, 5.1 more points per game than when they play in Phoenix.

Over the last 10 games the Suns are 22nd in opponent 3-point makes per game and in the bottom 10 of opponent 2-point percentage. With the ability of Giannis Antetokounmpo to attack the rim and force the defense to collapse, there should be plenty of open looks created for the hosts beyond the arc because of this. The visitors have also had issues getting back in transition, ranking 23rd in opponent fast break points per game over the last 10. Look for the Bucks to try and utilize this, pushing the pace as a result. Expect the Bucks to score around 120 points in this one, with the Suns doing enough to help the over hit.

Suns vs Bucks prediction: Over 224.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable to 225.5.

PHI 76ers @ NY Knicks · Point Spread

NY Knicks -14.5

Reasoning

Our Analysis

The tanking 76ers head to Madison Square Garden with only one goal in mind and that is to lose Tuesday’s game. After finally dropping below the Brooklyn Nets in the standings, the Sixers now have to do everything they can to remain there which gets them a better chance to land a high pick in this year’s NBA draft. Their core players have been shut down a long time ago, but so have been the likes of Quentin Grimes and similar players who have stood out in the past couple of weeks with solid play. Philly has lost 8 games in a row by an average margin of 14.8 points. Only the Wizards and Jazz have a worse Net Rating during this stretch.

New York is on the opposite side of the spectrum having won 4 games in 5 outings. Sunday night saw them get one over the Portland Trail Blazers. With a solid defensive effort they allowed just 93 points in a 17 point victory, further tightening their grip on the 3rd seed in the East. There is also good news on the injury front with their best player Jalen Brunson getting cleared for basketball activities, he hasn’t played since March 6th and that Lakers game where he twisted his ankle. Getting a 3-week rest just before the postseason might not actually be the worst thing that has happened to the Knicks, I’ll just say that. Anything other than a massive win for New York would be considered a huge upset here. They are 3-0 SU vs Philly this season, let’s hope they guard against complacency here and finish this in 3 quarters. I’m backing New York to cover.

76ers vs Knicks prediction: New York -14.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

GS Warriors @ MEM Grizzlies · Point Spread

GS Warriors -5.5

Reasoning

Our Analysis

The Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies are set to face off tonight as both teams try to hold their positioning in the Western Conference playoff standings. The Warriors currently sit as the sixth seed in the Western Conference, and they have won their last two games. Golden State is only a half game in front of the Timberwolves and Clippers, two teams that are trying to get out of the play-in tournament and have been winning at a high rate. The Grizzlies are the current fifth seed in the West, and they are half a game above the Warriors in the standings. The Grizzlies have been struggling in recent games, losing their last three games and seven of their last ten overall. With only a handful of games remaining in the 2024-2025 season, each game for these two teams becomes substantially more important than the last. To add additional weight to this game, the winner of tonight’s contest will hold the tiebreaker if these two teams happen to tie at the end of the season.

Both teams are generally healthy heading into tonight’s game. The main injury concern is if Jonathan Kuminga will be able to suit up tonight for the Warriors. Kuminga averages 16 points per game for the Warriors but is currently listed as questionable with a pelvic contusion. Some good news for the Warriors is that Steph Curry has returned from his injury stint, and he helped the Warriors win back-to-back games against the Spurs. Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr understands the importance of these games down the stretch and was able to save his starters legs in their previous 148-106 victory on Sunday. All five starters for Golden State should be fresh tonight after playing less than 30 minutes against San Antonio. With the Warriors gearing up for the postseason, the Grizzlies are heading in the opposite direction. Even with the Grizzlies playing tonight’s game on their home floor, they have not shown the consistency as of late to back them in a big game. The Grizzlies are only 8-13 since the All-Star Break and have lost 11 straight games against teams with a record of .500 or better. I’ll back the Warriors tonight to handle business and further climb the West standings.

Warriors vs Grizzlies prediction: Golden State -5.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

What Is An NBA Parlay Bet

An NBA parlay bet is a single NBA wager with multiple selections, each selection must-win for the bet to cash, but the odds of each selection are multiplied to offer much bigger odds.

You can combine a variety of NBA Picks from different markets if you choose to form an NBA parlay, from Moneyline picks to spreads and totals.

Parlays are a great way to wager on big favorites, with their odds likely small for straight wagers, you would have to stake a lot to win a little. By combining the selections into a parlay your stake rolls onto each selection, the only catch being they all must-win for the ticket to cash, one loser, the entire bet is lost.

On fixed NBA Odds markets such as spreads and totals where each selection will be priced around -110, a three-team parlay will pay around +600, so your $100 stake will see you profit $600 plus your $100 stake, $700 in total, with a four-team parlay paying around +1200, returning a total $1300 for your $100 stake.

How To Win An NBA Parlay Bet

NBA Parlay bets, despite their popularity, can be tricky to land with upsets commonplace in the NBA and just one wrong selection losing your parlay. So checking our NBA Predictions and NBA Best Bets when considering your selections is always a good idea.

With that in mind, you must be selective with your NBA picks and parlays, and here are a few tips to consider when trying to win an NBA parlay bet.

Keep to 2,3 or 4 team parlays – The difficulty of winning a parlay increases with each selection you add, and while the odds increase too, sticking to 2,3 or 4 team parlays gives you the best chance to see profit over time.
Use parlays to combine multiple strong favorites – If you like the Celtics to beat the Hornets but their Moneyline odds are -250, you may not want to risk $250 to win a profit of $100. Instead, you can add a couple of other strong favorites, say for example the Nuggets and Mavericks are also -250, a 3-team parlay on these would pay around +175 and $175 profit from a $100 wager.
Shop around for odds – Not all online sportsbooks have the same odds, and while there is often only a marginal difference, if you can wager three picks at -200 each instead of -250, your payout would be $337.50 instead of $274.40 to a $100 stake.
Manage your bankroll – Being disciplined with your bankroll is key to making a profit across an NBA season. If you keep your stake consistent on NBA parlay bets, with 3-team parlays at odds of around +600, you only need to win 1 in 7 parlays to break even, any better than that is profit.

How To Bet On NBA Picks And Parlays

Betting on NBA parlay picks is a simple process with any of the top online sportsbooks. To place a wager on an NBA parlay, simply click basketball and then NBA where you’ll find the upcoming matches, add all of the parlay selections to the bet slip and then click the parlay option on the bet slip, enter your stake and click place bet and you’re on.

The Betslip will automatically calculate your parlay odds and potential payout so you don’t need to calculate those yourself.

Expert NBA Teaser Predictions

NBA teasers are one of the few sports where these types of bets are utilized besides pro and college football. The most common points available in NBA teasers are 4, 4.5, and 5 with some books offering 7 points. You can apply these points on anywhere from 2 to 14 games, with each bet you add the payout odds increase. Of course, for an NBA teaser to be graded a win, each team on the ticket must be graded a win.

What Is An NBA Same Game Parlay

An NBA Same Game Parlay is the same as a regular NBA parlay, a multi-selection single bet, the difference being, the NBA Same Game Parlay sees all of the selections come from one specific game rather than a selection from various different games.

The obvious positive of an NBA Same Game Parlay is that by combining multiple picks you can shoot for a bigger win on the game your team is playing in, the game you feel most confident predicting, or the game you’re watching. Whatever the reason, an NBA same game parlay adds to the excitement, the odds and the winnings.

One of the most popular NBA Same Game Parlay strategies among NBA bettors is to add correlated NBA Prop Bets. Correlated prop bets are when the outcome of one prop will directly affect the outcome of another. For example, you may spot that over the last 10 games no team in the NBA has shot more three-pointers than the Celtics, who now face the Sacramento Kings who allow 40% of their opponent’s 3-pointers to drop. In this instance, you might look to parlay the Celtics to win, as well as Jason Taytum and Jaylen Brown to hit 3+ threes. By identifying a team you like to win and why you like them to win, you can correlate plays with that betting angle and get great NBA Same Game Parlay Odds.

You can also keep it even more simple and back the Lakers to win because LeBron James has a great matchup, a parlay of Lakers to win, LeBron James Triple Double, and Total Points over 220 for example. If the Lakers win there is a good chance LeBron has had a great game, and if he does, the points will be racking up. With all of these picks linked to one another, you’re correlating your NBA parlay picks to better your chances of cashing your ticket.

As with any type of Parlay wager, the more selections you add to your NBA Same Game Parlay, the more difficult it is to win, but the more the odds will increase. It’s a fine line between shooting for the stars and trying to seek out value in an NBA Parlay so adding 3 or 4 picks is usually a more realistic option than 7 or 8 picks in one parlay.

How Do I Bet On An NBA Same Game Parlay

FanDuel was the first to champion the Same Game Parlay in the US market, offering them on every NFL game each week and since expanding into other sports such as NBA. The NBA Same Game Parlay has become an increasingly popular bet type as you can have a bet solely based on the game you’re watching or the team you support, and with a chance of hitting a big win for smaller stakes. With the growing popularity, NBA same game parlays are now available at other sportsbooks such as BetMGM and Bet365 under the names One Game Parlay. Different name, same concept.
