We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Monday, including action from college basketball and the NHL.
Two picks are taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds at +773 with DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
NHL: Colorado Avalanche ML (-170) vs Boston Bruins, 1:00 pm ET
The issue in this matchup for the Bruins is that not only do the Avalanche have one of the most dangerous lineups in hockey that can test this strong defense, but the Bruins will also have to overcome their offensive struggles against arguably the hottest goaltender in the league in Darcy Kuemper. In fact, Kuemper is 16-0-2 in his last 18 games and has been a nightmare for the opposition giving up an average of 2.4 goals per game with a .921 save percentage. His recent form is overshadowed by the Avalanche offense that ranks 2nd in goals per game and 4th in shots per game, highlighted by stars Nathan Mackinnon and Mikko Rantanen. Nonetheless, the Avalanche have major advantages in this matchup and the Bruins struggles without Brad Marchand will continue against one of the league’s best teams.

NHL: Carolina Hurricanes ML (-210) vs Philadelphia Flyers, 3:00 pm ET
A big factor in this matchup is goaltending. The Hurricanes will be giving starting Frederick Anderson after he enjoyed a day off Saturday afternoon. He has been one of the best goaltenders in the league this year, which is a terrible thing for the Flyers — who don’t score easily. The Flyers will likely be sending out Carter Hart, and while he is a promising young talent the team around him makes every night difficult. These rosters don’t compare, so the winner should be clear.

College basketball: Ohio State Buckeyes -7 (-105) vs Indiana Hoosiers, 7:00 pm ET
Indiana is 16-9 on the season but in on a 4-game losing streak with loses to Illinois, Northwestern, Michigan State, and Wisconsin. It will likely be hard for the Hoosiers to break their losing streak as they are just 2-6 on the road this season.
Ohio State is having a good season once again, holding a 16-7 record. The Buckeyes are right in the mix for a regular season Big Ten Championship. They are coming off an upset loss at home to Iowa on Saturday and will be eager to bounce back in dramatic fashion. I cannot trust Indiana on the road, so take Ohio State.

College basketball: Baylor Bears -4.5 (-110) vs Oklahoma State Cowboys, 9:00 pm ET
Baylor lost the first time these teams played but the Bears are favored again on the road against Oklahoma State. They have not been a great cover team this season but being road favorites has been their sweet spot (6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS). If they keep their rotation tight, I like the defending champs’ chances to win this game and cover the spread with no issue.
