DAL Mavericks @ CHA Hornets · Game Totals

Over 223.0

Reasoning

Our Analysis

The Charlotte Hornets have seen each of their last 3 games surpass the 223-point mark. With LaMelo Ball back running the show, they have ranked 7th in the NBA in pace during the last 10 games. They will be up against the Dallas Mavericks, who are 12th in that category themselves. And while Luka Doncic will remain sidelined for the visitors, Kyrie Irving should be available to lead the team in what looks set to be a very entertaining matchup. The Mavericks have lacked discipline of late when it comes to getting back in transition. Over their last 10 games, they rank just 20th in opponent fast break points per game. The Hornets should be well positioned to take full advantage, with Ball distributing and athletic runners like Miles Bridges attacking the rim.

The Hornets have been willing to let teams attack them from outside, with no team allowing more three-point attempts over the last 10 games. It will be a dangerous game to play against a Mavericks squad who are 9th this season in three-point percentage. The likes of Irving, Klay Thompson and Quentin Grimes could take full advantage here. Over the last 10, the Hornets are also just 23rd in opponent points off turnovers. It is something the Mavericks could use to help them get out in transition. Ball is an exciting playmaker that is not risk-averse. With him dictating proceedings tonight, it should help ensure the Over hits.

MIN Timberwolves @ MEM Grizzlies · Game Totals

Over 234.5

Reasoning

Our Analysis

The Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves meet on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday afternoon in Memphis. This showdown highlights 2 rising stars: Anthony Edwards and Ja Morant. However, Morant’s availability remains uncertain as he is listed as questionable with a foot injury. If he can’t suit up, it will mark the 19th game he’s missed this season. Morant struggled in their last meeting, scoring 12 points on 5-of-19 shooting, but he made a clutch shot with 18 seconds left to secure a 127-125 win for the Grizzlies. Despite that performance, he’s been consistent this season, averaging 21.4 points and 7.5 assists per game.

Jaren Jackson Jr. also looms large for Memphis after posting 33 points and 8 rebounds in their last clash with Minnesota. The Timberwolves will rely on their defensive prowess (ranked 7th in the league) to slow Memphis down, but their recent games have seen high-scoring outcomes. While Minnesota prefers a slower pace, Memphis ranks 1st in pace and 5th in offensive rating, with or without Morant. Even in his absence, the Grizzlies have averaged an impressive 123.7 points per game. Given the trends, the Over at 234.5 points looks like the most appealing pick.

Timberwolves vs Grizzlies prediction: Over 234.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

BOS Celtics @ GS Warriors · Point Spread

BOS Celtics -10.0

Reasoning

Our Analysis

The Boston Celtics are entering this matchup as heavy favorites, with a significant market shift moving them from a 5-point favorite to a 10-point spread. While Boston’s recent form has been inconsistent, their bounce-back ability remains one of their strong points. The Celtics have only suffered back-to-back defeats once this season. With a game plan built on resilience, they are poised to recover from a tough home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, making them an attractive pick here. However, their struggles have been concerning. Over their last 16 games, Boston is just 8-8, which is not the dominant form they need to assert themselves as legitimate title contenders. Still, they currently sit 2nd in the Eastern Conference, so it’s far from time to panic.

On the other hand, the Golden State Warriors are far from their championship glory days. The team has been plagued by inconsistency, hovering just above .500 and showing flashes of brilliance that are often undone by significant lapses in play. Injuries to key players like Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green and potentially Steph Curry — who is dealing with an ankle issue — further hinder their chances. With Curry’s scoring dipping and the team struggling to find a consistent 2nd option, the Warriors will likely be outmatched. With the Celtics out for redemption and the Warriors’ roster in disarray, expect Boston to cover the 10-point spread.

Celtics vs Warriors Prediction: Celtics -10 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

Celtics vs Warriors Same Game Parlay

SGP

Player Points

S. Curry (GS) - Over 25.5 pts

Player Rebounds

J. Brown (BOS) - Over 5.5 rebs

Player Threes Made

K. Porzingis (BOS) - Over 1.5 threes

Reasoning

Steph Curry over 25.5 points (-125)

There are quite a few notable absences for the Warriors in this game, so it’ll be up to Steph Curry to once again carry the team on his back. The list of potential absentees includes Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Kyle Anderson and Brandin Podziemski. Without a doubt, the Golden State depth will take a big hit here, but I have full confidence in head coach Steve Kerr to put a gameplan together in which Curry will thrive.

The Warriors have no other choice really, as Andrew Wiggins is no longer a reliable number-one scoring option, while Buddy Hield has completely cooled off after a solid start to the season. Curry had 27 in the first meeting of the season at TD Garden, leading his team to an upset victory. He’s averaging 27.8 points per game in the last 10 meetings, however in one of those games he got injured and scored just 4 points which brings his averages down a bit. He’s cleared this line 8 times in those 10 games, so only once when he was healthy has he failed. Time for Curry to turn back the clock and show everyone he still has it.

Jaylen Brown over 5.5 rebounds (+102)

Speaking of players that still have it, we’re going with Jaylen Brown in the 2nd leg of our Celtics vs Warriors Same Game Parlay. The current NBA Finals MVP is having a rough month shooting the ball in January, but he has stepped it up doing other things to make up for it. Over his last 10 games, Brown is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game, which is in line with his season average in road games at 6.9 per game.

We just saw him grab 11 rebounds in the loss to Atlanta and that was the 4th game in a row in which he has cleared this line. Rebounding has been the Achilles heel of the Warriors all year long, as they average just 53.4 a night which ranks them in the bottom 6 of the NBA. Brown has excelled at rebounding against Golden State for a while now, he’s averaging 7.3 per game in the last 10 meetings and has cleared this line a total of 9 times. Expect him to make it 10.

Kristaps Porzingis 2+ made threes (-154)

Load management kept Kristaps Porzingis out of Saturday’s game against Atlanta, which the Celtics lost at home in overtime. That means KP comes back healthy and rested for today’s encounter with the Warriors and I’m sure the Celtics will appreciate having him around, considering just how poorly they’ve played over their last 8 games. The Latvian has been a model citizen this year – he’s averaging 2.6 makes from deep in January, upping his production from 2.1 per game in the previous month.

Porzingis’ efficiency is also up by 13.5% and the Celtics would be foolish not to use him more on offense in this game. The Warriors have been leaking triples all over the place in their last 3 games, with opponents making 45.9% of shots. For comparison, the last-placed Pistons allow 37.9% for the entire year, which shows how badly the Warriors are defending the perimeter. Expect a productive night from KP in this one to wrap up our Celtics vs Warriors Same Game Parlay.

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.

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.
