The NBA brings just 4 games for us on Tuesday but it does feature a major cross-conference match. The Boston Celtics will be visiting the Golden State Warriors. While the hosts are nowhere near the top of their conference like the visitors are, they still have plenty of experience on their roster, and experience that will have them believing they are still in the mix for the title this season. I have picked out 3 games for today’s NBA mega parlay so let’s dive right into it. As always, you can find out our NBA picks for today’s games.
Pelicans -8 (-110)
Bucks -16.5 (-110)
Warriors ML (+176)
NBA parlay odds: +905
New Orleans Pelicans -8 over Memphis Grizzlies (-110)
The Pelicans beat the Grizzlies 111-104 on opening night away from home, and tonight’s game will be played at the Smoothie King Center where they are 9-4 on the season. The Pels are on a 4-game win streak and it would appear that the semifinal loss in the In-Season Tournament has woken them up a bit. They also have the rest advantage here, having played on Sunday. In their latest win against San Antonio, the most minutes played by a starter was just 27, so fatigue won’t be an issue. They were also red hot from three-point land in that game, nailing a total of 22 threes. If they can be similarly productive in tonight’s game, they should cover. I do not expect Ja Morant to be up to speed yet, just now coming back from his suspension.

Milwaukee Bucks -16.5 over San Antonio Spurs (-110)
The Spurs offense has not looked in sync lately. Over the last 10 games, they rank 28th in offensive rating. During that stretch, they have been making just 34.4% of their three-pointers, ranking them 26th in the league. Against a Bucks team making 39.4% of their deep shots, it could help create major separation between the teams. Over the last week, Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 37.3 points and 13 rebounds per game. It is hard to see the visitors having an answer for him. The Bucks recently defeated the lowly Pistons in a blowout win, building a 23-point lead in the first quarter. Do not be surprised to see them come out fast tonight too, so that they can rest their starters later in the game. Back them to cover.

Golden State Warriors ML over Boston Celtics (+176)
The Boston Celtics are undoubtedly one of the top teams in the league, but they do fail to show it on the road. So far, they have just a 6-5 record on their travels. They could struggle to overcome a Warriors team that looks rejuvenated since moving Andrew Wiggins to the bench. They have won 2 straight games and have seen a resurgence from Klay Thompson. The Splash Brother has scored at least 24 points in 3 straight games, having not hit that mark in any other game this season. With Kristaps Porzingis questionable for the game, the hosts seem well-positioned to outscore their opponents here. They have won 4 of their last 5 against the Celtics as well.
