The NBA all-star break is just around the corner, but before the weekend festivities get underway we still have a couple of opportunities to land an NBA mega parlay or two. Tuesday night brings us a total of 6 games, and I’ve settled on 3 teams for tonight’s NBA mega parlay. Let’s dive into today’s picks at +1207 odds, but make sure you also check out our individual NBA picks for tonight’s matchups.
Celtics -8.5 (-112)
Heat ML (+265)
Kings +5 (-112)
NBA parlay odds: +1207
Boston Celtics -8.5 over Brooklyn Nets (-112)
Super Bowl Sunday didn’t stand in the way of the Boston Celtics winning yet another game as they defeated the Miami Heat 110-106. This team is currently on a 4-game win streak overall and on a 7-game win streak against the Nets in head-to-head meetings. Tonight’s game will be the first of a home-and-home series, as these 2 meet again in Boston tomorrow night.
The C’s are 2-0 in the 2 games this season as well, winning by double digits on both occasions. Meanwhile, the Nets have been up and down over the past month or so. They have won 2 of their last 5 games, but those came against the injury-riddled 76ers and ailing Spurs. With just 6 wins in 20 games, they are one of the worst teams in the NBA, and as underdogs they’ve lost 26 of 35 games this season. I’ll take the Celtics in what should be yet another convincing win for them.
Miami Heat ML over Milwaukee Bucks (+265)
The market has definitely overreacted to the fact that Jimmy Butler will be unavailable here. Miami held it’s ground in Sunday’s home loss to the Celtics, covering the spread in a 4-point loss. They head into Milwaukee having covered in 5 of their last 6 games overall and with a positive road record of 13 wins in 25 games. The Bucks have won both times they’ve met this season, but Miami led entering the 4th quarter in both of those games before collapsing late.
Why will things be different this time around? Well, the Bucks are still going through their transition period with new head coach Doc Rivers. Plus, they’ll be playing their 2nd game in two nights, after a very physical win over the defending champions last night. Khris Middleton also remains out and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bucks decide to also rest one of either Giannis Antetokounmpo or Damian Lillard here. With their never-say-die attitude, I think the Heat are capable of pulling off the upset.
Sacramento Kings +5 over Phoenix Suns (-112)
The Kings’ form has taken a slight dip lately with them losing 3 of 4 games, but I think this is a really solid bounce-back spot for them as they face a team they’ve beaten twice already this season. They’ve been very successful in recent head-to-head meetings against the Suns, winning 4 of the last 5 and also covering the spread in 5 straight. In their last 8 visits to Footprint Center they’re 7-1 ATS.
Health-wise, the Kings are also in top shape, which is a rarity in the NBA after more than 50 games played in the regular season. I’m expecting De’Aaron Fox to put up big numbers, as he’s averaging 30 points per game on 49.2% from the field and 52.2% from three in the 3 meetings this season. Sacramento is 16-12 ATS for the season which is one of the better marks for road teams. I’m taking the underdogs to cover as 5-point underdogs here.
