We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Tuesday, including action from college basketball, the NBA, and the NHL.
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 +1200 with DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
College Basketball: Texas Longhorns -1 (-115) vs Oklahoma Sooners, 7:00 pm ET
Oklahoma is no pushover, but in the end it just doesn’t have much talent. Head coach Porter Moser has an ability to do more with less, but he might have had more talent with his recent Loyola Chicago teams. Texas is on the road and that is never easy in the Big 12, but getting the Longhorns as small favorites is the play. The Texas’ defense can be overwhelming and they have enough playmakers that they can win it late if need be. They are likely to be in control throughout.

NBA: Cleveland Cavaliers -1.5 (-110) vs Atlanta Hawks, 7:40 pm ET
The Cavaliers boast the best scoring defense in the NBA, allowing just 102 points per game, and they’ve been even stingier over their last 10 — giving up just 100 points per game. The Hawks have cooled off after their 7-game winning streak and are just 2-5 SU/ATS in their last 7 games.
The Cavs are one of the best cover teams in the league, pacing at a 63% ATS clip. This number feels too low for a pair of teams that are headed in opposite directions at the moment. Cleveland also has an 8-3 SU record in games decided by 4 points or fewer. I’ll back them here in the hope that Trae Young doesn’t go off on his home floor, because that’s what Atlanta will need to win the game.

College Basketball: Arkansas Razorbacks -7 (-110) vs Missouri Tigers, 9:00 pm ET
Arkansas is coming off of a loss to Alabama this past Saturday, snapping the Razorbacks’ 9-game win streak. During the course of that streak the Razorbacks destroyed their opponents, winning by an average of 14 points. Even more impressive they held their opponents to only 62.2 points per game.
I am going to recommend the Razorbacks in this game. Arkansas is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games and its 33rd-ranked scoring offense should pick apart a Missouri team that ranks 218th in scoring defense by allowing 70 points per game.

NHL: Dallas Stars vs Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (-110), 9:05 pm ET
These two teams will meet for the second half of a home-and-home series. Colorado took the first meeting on Sunday, winning 4-0 in Dallas. The Avalanche have generally looked unstoppable the last few months, compiling an absurd 17-0-2 record since the start of the calendar year.
Furthermore, the already dangerous Colorado offense got top forward Nathan MacKinnon back from injury in the last game. The top players for the Avalanche are simply better than those of the Stars. Back the Avalanche to continue their dominance over the league with another win by multiple goals.
