There are just 3 games on the final NBA slate before the all-star break. There are exciting games for us to observe with the Doc Rivers project continuing with the Milwaukee Bucks. They have dropped 6 of their last 10 games but will hope to go into the break on a positive note. We will also see the leaders of the Western Conference, the Minnesota Timberwolves, taking on the Portland Trail Blazers — with their lead at the summit guaranteed for the break.
You can also read our NBA predictions for Thursday’s action, but for now let’s get into my NBA mega parlay.
Bucks vs Grizzlies Over 223.5 (-110)
Warriors -2 (-110)
Timberwolves vs Trail Blazers Over 214 (-110)
NBA parlay odds: +596
Milwaukee Bucks vs Memphis Grizzlies Over 223.5 (-110)
This line seems set low tonight in part due to the number of injuries on the Grizzlies’ roster. But their offense has not been getting enough credit. They have scored 110 or more points in 3 of their last 5 games, and 106 in another. They have a young squad that can put up points but is defensively frail, too. Over the last 10 games they are just 20th in defensive rating. Against a Bucks team that is 13th in pace during that stretch, there should be plenty of possessions where that gets exposed tonight. With everyone apart from Khris Middleton available for the visitors, I would not be surprised to see them push past the 120-point mark. The home team should be able to do the rest.

Golden State Warriors -2 over Utah Jazz (-110)
The Jazz got embarrassed on their home floor last night, as they gave up 138 points to a Los Angeles Lakers team without LeBron James. Things will not get easier when they take on a Golden State squad that has a red-hot Stephen Curry ready to play. The superstar has knocked down at least 7 3-pointers in 4 straight games. Against a Jazz team that is bottom of the NBA in defensive rating over the last 10 games, it is hard to see him slow down. Both teams here will be on the second night of a back-to-back set, but only the Warriors have a winning record in those situations this season. As a result, they should be a good look to cover this relatively small spread.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Portland Trail Blazers Over 214 (-110)
This will be the second straight meeting between the sides, with the first totaling 230 points. It is hard to see such a drastic dropoff tonight. The Trail Blazers had no answer for Anthony Edwards, with the guard dropping 41 points. Deanadre Ayton is not a terrific shot-blocker, so look for the Timberwolves’ guard to have success attacking the paint once more. Ayton did, however, have an extremely efficient game against Rudy Gobert — dropping 22 points in the process. He should help his team surpass the 100-point mark once more. With the visitors being hot at the moment, ranking 3rd in offensive rating over the last 5 games, I expect them to be able to do the rest for the over to hit.
