The NBA has just a 5 game slate for us on Tuesday night. Many of the teams taking the floor tonight like the Chicago Bulls, Toronto Raptors, Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors would have hoped to be in a stronger position at this stage of the season. Tonight should provide them with an opportunity to start and turn things around. You can read our NBA predictions for Tuesday’s action. But for now, let’s get into my NBA parlay for today.
Lakers ML (+160)
Raptors ML (+210)
NBA parlay odds: +710
Los Angeles Lakers ML over Atlanta Hawks (+160)
The Lakers suffered a hard loss last night against the Houston Rockets but should get a chance to bounce back tonight as they visit the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta has not been great in front of the home crowd this season, with a 9-13 record. The Hawks could also be without guard Dejounte Murray, who missed their last contest due to a hamstring issue. While the Hawks have been a respectable 4-6 over their last 10 games, their net offensive and defensive rating puts them 28th in the league during that time. It is hard to see them improve on either end of the floor if Murray is absent. Look for Anthony Davis to have a big game too, with the Hawks likely to struggle with his combination of size and speed. The Lakers should not be underdogs here.

Toronto Raptors ML over Chicago Bulls (+210)
The Raptors and Bulls have split their last 4 games, with the Bulls not winning either by more than 6 points. The visitors match up well against the Bulls, which should make this another competitive game. Scottie Barnes is a great perimeter defender and should be well positioned to guard DeMar DeRozan. And while Toronto is without Jakob Poeltl, it is likely to go small — which could cause issues for Nikola Vucevic. Chicago’s center is not the most mobile defender and could struggle staying on the floor. With Patrick Williams out for the Bulls, too, I suspect the Raptors’ small-ball lineups to cause some issues — especially since Barnes can dominate smaller defenders in the paint. This is a great value addition to the parlay.
