It’s been only 2 days since our latest NBA parlay winner. On Thursday we had a +612 odds bet cash. We head into the weekend with an 8-game slate on Saturday, with a couple of intriguing games in both Conferences. I have once again picked out my 3 favorite teams and combined them in a NBA mega parlay, which is available below.
We will also have picks on the side and total, simply head over to our NBA predictions page to see them.
Now let’s dive into my bet!
NY Knicks -8.5 (-110)
MIL Bucks -11 (-110)
UTA Jazz ML (+116)
NBA Mega Parlay odds: +694
NY Knicks -8.5 vs MEM Grizzlies (-110)
To start off the parlay I have the Knicks winning big at Memphis. They just lost for the first time since the OG Anunoby trade, 128-124 in Dallas. However, this is a really good spot to turn things around. Memphis has been hit hard by the injury bug. The Grizzlies will be without Ja Morant, Marcus Smart and most likely Desmond Bane — who got injured in last night’s home loss to the Clippers.
Yes, the injury-riddled Grizzlies are also playing their 2nd game in 2 nights and that won’t do them any favors. This team is only 3-14 SU in home games this season, and with its only reliable available scoring option potentially missing this game I’m just not sure where the points will come from. New York has looked great since the trade apart from the loss in Dallas. I think the Knicks will take this game seriously and cover the spread. They have done so 4 times in the last 6 meetings, so let’s roll with Tom Thibodeau’s men.

MIL Bucks -11 vs GS Warriors (-110)
Let’s just call it what it is: the NBA really dropped the ball with this one. For the second game in a row the Bucks are playing a team that is on a 2nd night of a back-to-back, which has already resulted in them winning by 32 points against the Boston Celtics. The Warriors played a hectic pace in last night’s win over Chicago, they are already an aging roster and I wouldn’t be surprised if they rested all their main guys here — even if the NBA will fine them for doing so.
The Bucks are 17-4 SU in home games this season. Unlike the Warriors, they are pretty much at full strength aside from Jae Crowder being out. Offensively they have been on fire in the last 2 games, knocking down 18 and 17 threes. If they push the pace against a tired Warriors squad, this game could be out of hand by halftime. The NBA really has to do a better job with scheduling; watching blowouts is not fun. Take the Bucks to cover at home.

UTA Jazz ML vs LA Lakers (+116)
To cap things off I have the Utah Jazz beating the LA Lakers at home. LeBron James and company are one of the trickiest teams to figure out this season; they will look good in 2 straight games and beat Toronto and the Clippers, after which they will follow it up with a double-digit home loss to Phoenix. The road version of this squad hasn’t looked good all year long; it is just 6-13 SU away from home.
Going up against a win hungry Jazz team will be tough. Utah is on a 4-game win streak after wins over the Sixers (away), Bucks (away) Nuggets (home) and Raptors (home) last night. Not only that, the Jazz are one of the top teams in the entire NBA in the last 14 games going 11-3 SU, while owning the 7th best offensive rating and 6th best defensive rating. Lauri Markkanen is always a problem, plus health is also on the Jazz side; they are at full strength, while the Lakers have a total of 5 players listed as game-time decisions. Expect a fast-paced game, but I think the Jazz pull it out in front of the home fans.
