There is a monster 11-game NBA slate on Monday. It will feature a highlight game between a couple of triple-double machines as the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets collide. I have picked out 4 games for today’s NBA mega parlay so let’s dive right into it. And as always, you can find out our NBA picks for each of today’s games.
LA Clippers -3 (-112)
CHI Bulls +11 (-110)
CHA/TOR Over 225.5 (-110)
DAL Mavericks +7.5 (-105)
NBA parlay odds: +1246
Los Angeles Clippers -3 over Indiana Pacers (-112)
It’s been all downhill for the Pacers since that In-Season Tournament Final loss to the Lakers. Since then they’ve gone just 1-3 SU in 4 games, with their only win coming against the Detroit Pistons who are currently on a 23-game losing streak. Tyrese Haliburton could miss tonight’s game too. The talented point-guard is bothered by a knee issue which has him listed on the injury report as a game time decision. Andrew Nembhard and Jalen Smith are both out, so the Pacers injury situation is far from ideal. They’ve covered the spread only once in their last 4 games as well, they’re pretty much playing .500 basketball at this point. Clippers have been rolling, back them to cover here.

Chicago Bulls +11 over Philadelphia 76ers (-110)
The ability of Nikola Vucevic to knock down long jumpers should really help open space in the paint for the Bulls to attack. He is a career 34.5% shooter from deep and despite having a down year percentage wise, Joel Embiid will need to respect him out there. On the other side of the floor, the Bulls center has the size to make things more difficult for the superstar. Having Andre Drummond on the bench able to step in helps too. Coby White is having a breakout season for the Bulls as well. Over the last 10 games he is averaging 24.7 points per game on 49% shooting from beyond the arc. If he can cancel out the production of Tyrese Maxey here, it is hard to see the 76ers get major separation tonight. Take the points with the Bulls.

Charlotte Hornets vs Toronto Raptors Over 225.5 (-110)
Neither of these teams have been defending well of late, ranking 23rd and 29th in defensive rating over the last 10 games respectively. The Raptors in particular have had issues containing teams from the perimeter, allowing them to shoot at a 41% clip from 3-point range over that stretch. Only the New York Knicks have allowed a worse mark. They have subsequently allowed 119 or more points in 4 straight games, one of which was against this Hornets team. The hosts however are 2nd in the league in fast break points per game. Look for them to have success attacking in transition and getting to the paint. The Hornets are 25th in opponent points in the paint. The Raptors should be able to get theirs too tonight as a result. The over looks a great look for this one.

Dallas Mavericks +7.5 over Denver Nuggets (-105)
The Mavericks have been one of the best road teams in the league this season, with a 9-4 record so far. It gives me confidence that they can stay competitive against the Denver Nuggets here. Luka Doncic has been playing out of his skin too, averaging 36.8 points and 11.5 assists over the last week. With Jamaal Murray and Aaron Gordon both dealing with niggling injuries which have prevented either player reaching the 20-point mark in recent games, the Nuggets could lack the fire power to dominate tonight. Over the last 10 games the Nuggets have been in the bottom half of the league in defensive rating. The Mavericks should be able to exploit that here. Take the points for the parlay.
