We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Thursday, including action from the NHL, NBA, and college basketball.
One pick is taken from each sport, and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +1262 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Southampton vs Newcastle +0.5 (-115), 2:30 pm ET
Both of these teams have had a major upturn in their fortunes since this game was originally due to be played in early January. Southampton has lost just two of its last 11 games in all competitions, while Newcastle has won 5 of its last 6 to pull away from relegation trouble. The Magpies are unbeaten in their last 8 league games and have a good recent record against the Saints, losing just one of the last 9 meetings between the pair. For that reason, backing Newcastle to win or tie is the play.

NHL: Winnipeg Jets vs New Jersey Devils ML (+100), 7:05 pm ET
The Devils are playing better lately, both overall and against good teams. The margins are slim but the Devils also have better home-road splits both this season and in each team’s last 10 games. Not a lot separates these teams, but New Jersey’s slightly better recent form and the quality of teams they have beaten lately gives them a little edge. Take the Devils.

College Basketball: Maryland Terrapins vs Michigan State Spartans -2.5 (-110), 6:30 pm ET
Michigan State has been poor as of late but the Spartans still have likely punched their ticket to the NCAA Tournament. Tom Izzo is one of the best coaches of all-time in March, so it is hard to not side with his team. Michigan State beat Maryland twice in the regular season, and they can get the season sweep. The Spartans are the better team in this matchup and have the coaching advantage, so take them to cover this short spread.

NBA: Brooklyn Nets vs Philadelphia 76ers – Over 233 points (-110), 7:30 pm ET
In the 76ers’ last 10 games, they are averaging 112 points and in the 5 games with James Harden in the lineup they have scored 125 points per game. The Nets defense is allowing 116 points per game over the last 10 games. They are 7-3 to the over during that span. Brooklyn is also 10-3 to the over on games within the division this season. The Sixers have seen 4 of their 5 games with Harden go over the total. Until we see something different from the 76ers offensively with Harden in the lineup, keep playing the over.
