We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Friday, including action from the NHL, NBA, and college basketball.
One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from the NBA. A winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1044 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
College Basketball: LSU Tigers vs Arkansas Razorbacks -3 (-110), 2:30 pm ET
The Razorbacks will have to try to win in March without Au’Diese Toney, whose foot injury is expected to keep him out of action throughout the SEC tournament, and he adds 10 points per game on 52% shooting for the Razorbacks. Arkansas swept the regular-season series from the Tigers and went 1-1 ATS in those matchups. LSU is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 neutral-site games, and there is a serious consistency issue with them despite their elite defensive talent. Arkansas has had 6 days to prep for this game, so take the Razorbacks.

NHL: Vegas Golden Knights vs Pittsburgh Penguins ML (-155), 7:00 pm ET
The Penguins have proved themselves as a serious force in the Eastern Conference behind an experienced group of forwards, a solid defense, and a great goaltender in Tristan Jarry. Not only should Sidney Crosby and this Penguins offense be able to generate plenty of scoring chances against a shorthanded Knights defense and rookie goaltender, but Jarry and the Pittsburgh defense should also be able to frustrate an underwhelming Knights offense that comes into this game struggling to score. This is a brutal spot for Vegas given their current form and injuries, so look for the Penguins to take care of business on home ice.

NBA: Minnesota Timberwolves -7.5 (-110) vs Orlando Magic, 7:10 pm ET
The Magic don’t have a lot to play for as they are bottom of the Eastern Conference. They’ve won just 5 of their last 20 home games, and for the season they are just 10-20 ATS at Amway Center. They’ll need a lot of scoring against the Timberwolves tonight, but that has been the main issue for this team all season as they rank only 28th, averaging 103.8 points per game.
Although the Magic have pulled off a couple of surprises recently, we’re going with the more in-form team. With a win tonight, Minnesota would keep the pressure on Denver for the 6th seed in the West, and they have enough to pull it off. Take the road team to cover.

NBA: Washington Wizards vs Los Angeles Lakers -4 (-110), 10:40 pm ET
Time is running out for the Lakers as they have dropped 2 in a row against not-so-good teams in Houston and San Antonio. With one of the toughest schedules in their remaining 17 games, we might not even see them make the playoffs. The Lakers have gone 6-2 against the spread in their last 8 games against Southeast Division opponents. With games against Phoenix, Toronto, Minnesota, Cleveland and Philadelphia coming up, the Lakers simply cannot afford to lose games against opponents like the Wizards. This team is 19-16 SU at home this season, while the Wizards have covered in only 10 of 30 road games. Give the Lakers the benefit of the doubt and take them to cover at home.
