Last night we cashed yet another NBA mega parlay at +679 odds and with 8 more games coming our way on Wednesday, we’re back at it with another 3-leg bet. ESPN has a doubleheader this evening and I’ve made an effort to include both the Celtics vs 76ers and Kings vs Lakers games in this NBA mega parlay. You can also read our NBA predictions for each of Wednesday’s 8 games, but for now, let’s dive into our parlay.
76ers ML (+138)
Bucks vs Raptors Over 227 (-112)
Kings ML (-102)
NBA parlay odds: +792
Philadelphia 76ers ML over Boston Celtics (+138)
To start off this NBA mega parlay, I have the Philadelphia 76ers beating the Boston Celtics. Although they just lost last night to Indiana, the odds are just too good to pass up here for a team that’s gone 8-2 to start their season. Philly also beat Boston less than a week ago in this same building 106-103, so they already have an idea what should work here. The big advantage for the 76ers here is Joel Embiid, as Boston simply doesn’t have anyone of his size and agility to match up with him down low.
There is some bad news on the injury front for the C’s here, as Kristaps Porzingis is questionable with a knee issue. Without him spreading the floor and forcing Embiid to come out to the 3-point line, the Celtics are losing a valuable piece on offense here. Although Boston is 8-2 SU on the season, they’re a fairly mediocre 3-2 SU in road games and have covered the spread only once in those 5 outings. In a battle of two Eastern Conference juggernauts, I’m going with the team that’s 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games and 6-1 SU in their last 7 against Eastern Conference opponents.
Milwaukee Bucks vs Toronto Raptors Over 227 points (-112)
This will be the 2nd meeting of the season between the Bucks and Raptors, and after seeing the first one played at the start of November produce 241 points, I am pleasantly surprised by the oddsmakers setting the projected total to just 227 points in this one. Not a lot has changed since then from a defensive point of view – Milwaukee still ranks only 24th in defensive rating and teams are averaging 118.3 points per game against them this season. It gets even worse on the road, where that number jumps up to 123.3 per game.
Toronto is a top-10 team in opponent points per game, but even they have slipped a little bit in their last 3 games, allowing 113.3 points per game, an increase of 4.1 points compared to what they normally allow. The 3 most recent meetings between the two sides have averaged 232 points. Milwaukee has gone over in 3 of 4 road games this season and in 13 of their last 17 dating back to last year.

Sacramento Kings ML over Los Angeles Lakers (-102)
De’Aaron Fox has made an instant impact in his return from injury with 28 points in the win over Cleveland on Monday, which means the Kings had an extra day of rest compared to the Lakers here. Some oddsmakers have Sacramento as the underdog here, despite winning 5 of the last 6 meetings, including the first one this season played at the very end of October in Sacramento. The good news for bettors considering the Kings here is also the fact that they are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games at Crypto.com Arena.
The Lakers just played last night against the Grizzlies, winning fairly easily. In games played without rest, LA went 6-6 last season. They’ll have to find a way to contain Fox though. He’s averaging 31.2 points per game and 8.2 assists in the last 5 meetings, while also shooting 58% from the field. The likes of D’Angelo Russell and company will have their hands full here. I feel like with 3 wins on the bounce, the Kings are currently the better team. They beat LA by 5 points already this season and I believe this is a good spot for another Kings W.
