We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Friday, including action from college basketball, the EPL, the NBA, and NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +783 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Southampton ML (-190) vs Norwich City, 3:00 pm ET
Things are finally starting to click for Ralph Hasenhuttl and Southampton and they can extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League when they take on relegation-threatened Norwich on Friday. The Saints have established themselves in the mid-table positions in the Premier League, winning two and drawing two of their last four league matches as well as beating Coventry in the fourth round of the FA Cup.
Southampton have made themselves tough to break down on home soil this season as well, losing only one of their 12 league matches in their own backyard. Back Hasenhuttl’s men to come out on top.

NHL: New Jersey Devils vs Chicago Blackhawks ML (-140), 8:35 pm ET
New Jersey has a few factors going against them in this matchup. After a big road game victory against the tough Pittsburgh Penguins, they are now forced to hit the road again and play their second game in as many nights.
The Blackhawks should take the win on home ice, backed by a higher level of star talent, and the combination of home ice advantage and rest. Don’t expect a blowout by any means, but Chicago is taking this one.

College basketball: Iowa Hawkeyes -12 (-110) vs Nebraska Cornhuskers, 9:00 pm ET
The Hawkeyes are winners of five of their last six games and have put themselves into a great position in finishing in the top four of the Big Ten standings. Iowa has the nation’s 4th best scoring offense, averaging 83.6 points per game and they also have Keegan Murray, who ranks 4th nationally in points per game with 23.5. The previous meeting with the Cornhuskers was a beatdown by the Hawkeyes, who won 98-75 while shooting 51.3% from the field and covering the 16.5-point spread.
Nebraska has not shown any resistance against top scoring offenses all season, and a red-hot Iowa team should have their way in Lincoln. I anticipate Murray leading another offensive outburst for the Hawkeyes as they continue to roll into March. Take Iowa.

NBA: Los Angeles Clippers vs Los Angeles Lakers ML (-130), 10:10 pm ET
All eyes will be on the Lakers in this 2nd part of the regular season as they try to make the postseason. Right now they are 9th in the standings which would mean they’d enter the play-in tournament, but everything can still change. Injuries haven’t been kind to the Lakers, and they’ll be without Anthony Davis for at least a month after he twisted his ankle against the Jazz right before the break. The good news is LeBron James is back and healthy.
Both teams are missing key players here, but the Lakers are more equipped with the likes of James and Russell Westbrook playing on a high level. With the Clippers winning the last 5 meetings, it’s time for the Lakers to end that streak. Back LeBron and co. to win outright.
