We have put together a 4-pick cross-sport parlay that will take you right through Tuesday, including action from college basketball, the EPL, NBA, and NHL.
One pick is taken from each sport and a winning ticket would give us a nice payout with odds of +953 at DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s break down each of these plays.
EPL: Burnley vs Leicester City – Over 2.5 goals (-105), 2:45 pm ET
Burnley has conceded 3 goals in its last 7 EPL games, a run which includes ties with Arsenal (0-0) and Manchester United (1-1) and a 1-0 loss to title-chasing Liverpool. However, the visit of Leicester could provide more goalmouth entertainment than is usually anticipated at Turf Moor, and backing over 2.5 goals looks a decent option.
Leicester has recorded only 1 shutout in 18 away games in all competitions this season. The Foxes have been particularly vulnerable from set-pieces, so Burnley’s dead-ball threat is another reason to expect goals at Turf Moor.

College basketball: Providence Friars +9.5 (-110) vs Villanova Wildcats, 6:30 pm ET
This game will be a tremendous matchup between the top 2 teams in the Big East. Providence won the regular-season title, but Villanova still looks to be the better team. However, getting 9.5 points is simply too much for a team that is currently in 1st place. Providence prefers to play a slow pace and get the ball inside to Nate Watson, so they will not be thrown off by Villanova’s slow and disciplined offensive game plan. Take Providence and the points.

NHL: Carolina Hurricanes ML (-220) vs Detroit Red Wings, 7:35 pm ET
Offensively, these teams aren’t even close as the Hurricanes have a massive advantage. The Red Wings rank 19th in goals per game and 20th in expected goals. The Hurricanes come in ranking 7th in goals per game and they are the best team at applying offensive pressure as they rank 1st in expected goals.
Defensively, the Hurricanes also have the edge, but that is due to their goaltending. Both teams rank in the bottom 10 in expected goals against, but the Red Wings rank 27th in goals against per game while the Hurricanes are 1st. The Hurricanes’ projected starter, Frederik Andersen, ranks 2nd in goals saved above expected, while the Red Wings don’t have a goalie on their roster ranked in the top 50. Take the Hurricanes money line.

NBA: Brooklyn Nets vs Toronto Raptors – Over 218.5 points, 7:40 pm ET
Even with Pascal Siakam struggling, and Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby not playing, the Raptors managed to put up 133 on the Nets last night, surpassing the projected total of 216.5 points. The over has now landed in 4 of their last 5 against Atlantic Division teams and in 5 of 7 regular-season meetings between these teams. Brooklyn has gone over the total in 5 straight overall, 5 in a row on the road and in 9 of their last 10 overall. Their last 3 opponents have averaged 128.3 points per game, which is the 2nd-highest mark in the NBA. With Toronto being 18-11 on the O/U in home games and the Nets 19-13 in road games, take the over.
