We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Monday, including action from college basketball, the NBA and the NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from the NHL. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +913 with DraftKings Sportsbook — that’s more than 9/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
College Basketball: Virginia Cavaliers +5 (-120) vs Virginia Tech Hokies, 7:00 pm ET
Both of these teams have matching 13-12 ATS records this season and both have been good in February too, with the Cavaliers 4-0 SU/ATS, and the Hokies 4-0 SU, and 3-1 ATS. When they met in Charlottesville last month, Virginia got the win and cover even though they won by only 2 points. Now we are getting a line that is a lot more than the -1 we saw for the home team last time. I am not there yet with the Hokies in terms of expecting them to get easy wins against well-coached opponents, especially with Virginia playing their best ball right now. For that reason, backing the Cavaliers to keep it close is the play.

NHL: Detroit Red Wings vs Minnesota Wild 3-Way ML (-145), 8:00 pm ET
The Xcel Energy Center has been a house of horrors for visiting teams this season, as the Wild have a 15-3-1 record at home. Detroit struggles when playing on the road, with a 7-12-3 away record. Detroit has one of the weakest defensive units, giving up the 7th-most goals per game and allowing the most high-danger chances against, which plays right into the strength of the Wild.
Minnesota is also getting solid goaltending from all-star Cam Talbot who has won 4 straight starts since returning from injury. This is a tough game for the Red Wings as they have a weak defense, struggle on the road and now travel to Minnesota to face one of the league’s best home teams with an elite offense. Take the Wild on the 3-way money line.

NBA: San Antonio Spurs vs Chicago Bulls – Over 234.5 points (-110), 8:10 pm ET
Chicago has seen 8 of the last 10 games go over the total, while San Antonio has had 5 of its last 6 games against Atlantic Division opponents go over. The Spurs play at the 8th-fastest pace in the league, averaging 101.3 possessions per game. They are 3rd in the NBA in assists per game while having only the 17th-best defense efficiency.
Chicago ranks 4th in offensive efficiency and they’ve averaged 120.3 points per game over their last 3 home games. With San Antonio putting up an average of 117.3 points in their last 3 games, we should see a high-scoring outcome.

NHL: Edmonton Oilers ML (-140) vs San Jose Sharks, 10:35 pm ET
Edmonton’s style of play matches up well against San Jose. The Sharks like to play a gritty and structured game, but the Oilers’ fast-paced play can really open things up and get teams running around. Motivated to get their second straight win and continue their push to climb back into the playoffs, take Edmonton to win on the road.
