The NBA has just 5 games for us on Tuesday, with the featured game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks taking place on NBA TV. The Mavericks will be looking to build on what is currently the longest winning streak in the Western Conference. They should like their chances tonight against a team that have just received news which could completely change the trajectory of their season. You can read our NBA predictions for all of Tuesday’s action. But for now, let’s get into my NBA parlay for today.
SAC/DET Over 239 (-110)
DAL Mavericks -8.5 (-110)
TOR Raptors ML (+162)
NBA parlay odds: +854
Sacramento Kings vs Detroit Pistons Over 239 (-110)
The Detroit Pistons have been involved in high scoring games of late, having seen 5 of their last 6 games surpass the 240-point mark. I expect more of the same tonight as they welcome a Sacramento Kings team that will be looking to bounce back after putting up just 100 points against the New Orleans Pelicans. The visitors’ last opponents were top of the NBA in defensive rating over the last 10 games, but they will now take on a Pistons team that is on the complete other end of the spectrum, ranked 30th. The Kings are not too great themselves in that category, ranking 23rd. With the hosts being in the top 10 in pace during that time, both of the teams’ defensive frailties should be continuously exposed tonight.

Dallas Mavericks -8.5 over Memphis Grizzlies (-110)
With the recent news that Ja Morant will be undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery, we can expect the Grizzlies to struggle the same way they did during his suspension. That should start tonight as they visit the Mavericks. The hosts have both Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic in their backcourt. It will be a level of production that is hard to see the Grizzlies matching tonight. Over the last 10 games, the Grizzlies have been just 27th in offensive rating. Tonight’s hosts are 3rd in defensive rating during that time. The Mavericks had beaten a Morant-less Grizzlies team on the road in December by 7 points. Adding Irving to the fold and playing at home should help them be much more convincing tonight.

Toronto Raptors ML over Los Angeles Lakers (+162)
This is a great time to be playing the Los Angeles Lakers. They have lost 7 of their last 10 games and seem to be disjointed. Rumors of a roster disgruntled with Darvin Ham will not help matters. It should give the Toronto Raptors confidence they can come out on top. Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett have settled in, helping their team win 3 of the last 4. Barrett is also coming into this after a 37-point outburst. The hosts have been incredibly reliant on LeBron James and Anthony Davis for their offense, but with little backcourt production, they are just 24th in offensive rating over the last 10 games. The Raptors have been 6th in the league in that category since the trade. I expect the production of guards like Quickley, Dennis Schroder and Gary Trent Jr. to be the deciding factor tonight.
