Since last Wednesday, I’ve managed to cash 3 NBA mega parlays, and I’m hoping to add to that with tonight’s 9-game slate. ESPN will also have a doubleheader on this action-packed night, and I’ve gone for a 3-team NBA mega parlay to celebrate the action. Let’s dive into today’s NBA parlay picks, while you can also check out our NBA picks for Wednesday’s biggest matchups.
Lakers vs Wizards Over 234.5 (-110)
Grizzlies ML (+590)
Pacers vs Nets Over 230.5 (-110)
NBA parlay odds: +2414
Los Angeles Lakers vs Washington Wizards Over 234.5 (-110)
This game has all the necessary ingredients for a high-scoring matchup. Both the Lakers and Wizards are playing on the 2nd night of a back-to-back, so the defenses might simply take the night off here. Neither the Lakers nor Wizards are strangers to high-scoring games this season. LA has cashed on the over in 9 of their last 13 games and are 23-14 on the O/U on the road this season. Washington has cashed on the over 12 times in their last 18 games played on a Wednesday.
The last 4-of-5 meetings between the two teams have also cashed on the over, and if we expand our search to the last 10 meetings we can see an average of 239.7 points per game scored. If you love pace and scoring, then this is the game for you. These teams rank 1st and 4th in possessions per game this season and I believe the over is the obvious pick here.

Memphis Grizzlies ML over Milwaukee Bucks (+590)
What on Earth is happening with the Milwaukee Bucks? They just suffered one of their most disappointing losses of the season, against the Washington Wizards of all teams. Milwaukee went into the game as a 12.5-point favorite only to lose 117-113 against a team with a 15-61 record this season. Damian Lillard’s absence was noticeable as the Bucks shot just 22% from three-point land.
It’s unclear if Dame will return tonight as the Bucks play on the 2nd night of a back-to-back. Even though they’re 9-3 in this scenario for the season, I just cannot trust them here. Since Doc Rivers has taken over they’re just 15-13. Memphis has nothing to lose and they’re coming off a big win over Detroit, where Jaren Jackson Jr. dropped a cool 40 points. After seeing that Bucks performance last night, I think it’s worth backing against them at +590 odds here.

Indiana Pacers vs Brooklyn Nets Over 230.5 (-110)
Indiana dominated Brooklyn on Monday, winning 133-111 behind Tyrese Haliburton’s 27 points and 13 assists. Once again, the Pacers are 7-point favorites and they’ve had a good time playing in Brooklyn over the years, covering the spread 10 times in their last 11 visits. The Nets have been all over the place in March and by the looks of it not much has changed in April either. They’ve lost both meetings to the Pacers this year by 21 and 22 points, and coming into tonight’s game they’re 12-39 in games played this season when they’re the underdogs.
Despite the Pacers enjoying a lot of success against the spread in recent meetings, I am more comfortable with backing the over here. That bet has cashed 7 times in the last 10 meetings, while the 2 teams are averaging 241.1 points per game during that stretch. Both games this season have seen more than 230.5 points, so let’s hope the trends carry over to tonight’s game. Back the points.
