It promises to be yet another epic night of hoops in the NBA, as a total of 24 teams are in action. The 12-game slate includes an ESPN double-header. I have the late game between Phoenix and Denver in my NBA mega parlay and there are 2 more games in the bet. I encourage you to scroll further down to see who else made it in.

Now let’s dive into my bet!
Warriors ML (+172)
LA Lakers -3.5 (-112)
Suns vs Nuggets Under 226 (-110)
NBA parlay odds: +882
Golden State Warriors ML over Orlando Magic (+172)
It’s all about experience here for the Warriors who are coming off a big win in Miami last night, 113-92. Klay Thompson was inserted back into the starting lineup and produced a vintage Klay game with 28 points, including 6 threes. As a team the Warriors shot 55% from the field while collecting 31 assists, as well. When they share the rock like that, they are a hard team to beat — even at this stage of their careers.
The Magic have been one of the more pleasant surprises this season, but they have already lost once this year against the Warriors — 121-115 on the road. They couldn’t do much about Stephen Curry in that game, as he exploded for 36 points. With their best player, Paolo Banchero, being only in his 2nd year, I think the Magic’s youth and inexperience will show against one of the older rosters in the NBA. Golden State is 14-6 SU in the last 20 meetings. I’ll take my chances with them winning this game.

Los Angeles Lakers -3.5 over Memphis Grizzlies (-112)
The Lakers did just play last night, but that shouldn’t have a negative impact on them against one of the worst teams in the league. Anthony Davis and D’Angelo Russell both played 50+ minutes in the double-OT win over Milwaukee, but the good news is LeBron James is likely coming back after sitting that game out. The Lakers are 6-3 ATS/SU in the last 9 meetings and 4-1 SU in their last 5 overall.
Aside from their win at San Antonio earlier this week, Memphis hasn’t had the best of times over its last 6 games — losing 5 of them. The Grizzlies are also just 1-7 SU in their last 8 home games and have only 1 win in their last 10 games against teams from the Western Conference. A healthy 39-year old LeBron should be able to take care of the young and upcoming Grizzlies.

Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets Under 226 (-110)
The total of 226 is slightly above what the total was the last time these teams played. That game came in under the number, even with an overtime period. With both sides missing regulars, I think this game might look a little more ragged than free flowing — especially for Denver, which will have to lean on its reserves more than they might have normally against a quality opponent. Also, when Nikola Jokic handles it more — which is likely — the Nuggets are ramping up efficiency (not speed). They are so patient with him directing the offense. Denver has been an under team all season and that is where I am leaning on Tuesday night.
