We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Monday, including action from college basketball, the NFL, and NBA.
One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from the NBA. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +1200 with DraftKings — that’s 12/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
NBA: Golden State Warriors -4 (-110) vs Indiana Pacers, 7:10pm ET
Golden State has come back down to earth a little but this is still one of the best teams in the NBA and their recent struggles have created some extra value. Thanks to Golden State’s strengths on offense and defense, they have posted a great record against the spread this season (18-8). They match up really well with the Pacers. Take the Warriors.

College Basketball: Cleveland State Vikings vs Oklahoma State Cowboys -12.5 (-115), 8pm ET
There is no doubt that the Cowboys are the better of the teams and playing at home, they should be able to quickly shake off any rust. I like the range of this line, too, as Oklahoma State is 3-1 against the spread when favored by between 10 and 20 points this season. The lone loss was a bit of a shocker when the Cowboys were upset by Oakland. Oklahoma State has good depth, so it can hold a large lead even once the result is no longer in doubt. Take OSU.

NFL: Los Angeles Rams vs Arizona Cardinals -2 (-110), 8:15pm ET
Sure the Rams don’t have a big home-field advantage, but there is still no reason to think they can turn the tide on the road. Los Angeles is 1-5 against the spread in its last 6 overall, 2-5 ATS in its last 7 on the road, and 1-4 ATS in its last 5 against opponents with winning records. The Cardinals are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against the NFC West. It is also worth noting that the favorite is 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings between the teams. Take Arizona and give the points.

NBA: Charlotte Hornets vs Dallas Mavericks – Over 217 points (-110), 8:40pm ET
The 5 Hornets players out due to Covid have averaged a combined 54.8 points per game, but that hasn’t stopped this team from scoring a ton. In their last 3 games they are putting up an average of 118 points per game, which is actually above their season average of 115.8. They also might get Terry Rozier back tonight, which is an additional 17.7 points per game plus almost 4 assists, so it should do them well.
Dallas is a different story, they’ve cracked the 100-point mark only twice in their last 5 games. They are 27th in the NBA in points per game as a team, however let’s not forget they are facing a team that’s dead last in points allowed per game. In their last 3 games Charlotte has given up an average of 120 points and 7 of their last 8 games have gone over the total. The Hornets’ style of play should push us over the total.
