We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Saturday, including action from college basketball, the NHL, and NBA.
One pick is taken from each sport with a second pick from college basketball. A winning ticket gives us a nice payout with odds at +994 with DraftKings Sportsbook — that’s more than 9/1! Let’s break down each of these plays.
College Basketball: LSU Tigers -3 (-110) vs TCU Horned Frogs, 12:00 pm ET
This game will be the Horned Frogs’ third game against a team that ranks within the top 10 in scoring defense. Their two previous games were losses against Baylor and Texas, both games were at home, and the Horned Frogs lost each game by an average of 17.5 points. I believe the Tigers defense will cause plenty of turnovers to create easy transition scoring opportunities and earn a tough road win. Take the Tigers.

NHL: Los Angeles Kings ML (-165) vs Philadelphia Flyers, 1:05 pm ET
Offensively, the advantage goes to the Kings. Even though both teams rank in the bottom 11 in goals for per game, the Kings rank 7th in expected goals for, compared to the Flyers who rank 25th in the same category. Defensively, the edge goes to the Kings as well and it is all due to the terrible Flyers team defense. Both projected starting goalies, Jonathan Quick for the Kings and Carter Hart for the Flyers, rank in the top 20 in goals saved above expected. However, the Flyers defense leaves Hart hanging out to dry as they rank 31st in expected goals against and is why they are in the bottom 10 in goals against per game With the Flyers struggling in all areas of the ice, there is no confidence in this team getting a win, so place your wager on the Kings money line.

College Basketball: Oklahoma Sooners vs Auburn Tigers -9.5 (-115), 2:00 pm ET
Oklahoma ranks 343rd in turnover rate and has scored more than 65 points just once over their last 5 games. Now, they must try to keep up with an offense that scores 80 ppg at home while holding opponents to 61.2 ppg. Coming off a poor performance, expect Auburn to bounce back and take care of business at home in the Big 12-SEC Challenge.

NBA: Brooklyn Nets vs Golden State Warriors – Under 230.5 points (-110), 8:40 pm ET
Over the past 10 head-to-head encounters, we have seen the under land 8 times and an average of just 222.7 points per game being scored, which is almost 10 points less than the projected total for tonight. The Warriors have gone under in 8 of their last 12 vs Atlantic Division opponents and following a game against Minnesota in which they allowed 115 points, I expect a much better effort tonight. Golden State has gone under in 18 of 27 home games; look for that trend to continue tonight. Back the under.
