It’s easy to get over a case of the Monday’s when there’s an eleven game NBA slate waiting for us on the other side of the workday. On top of the 11-game slate, NBA TV is taking care of us with a double header starting at 7:30pm ET when the New Orleans Pelicans take on the Boston Celtics. Immediately after that we’re going to Los Angeles to see the Milwaukee Bucks get it on with the Los Angeles Clippers. All that’s left to do now is put together the Monday five-team mega parlay.

Indiana Pacers ML (-200)
Don’t look now but the Indiana Pacers are starting to gel. They’ve won four of their last five games which includes wins over the Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat. Caris Levert looks to fit in nicely with what the Pacers want to do offensively as well as defensively. They’ve been doing a great job of not turning the ball over as no team in the NBA has seen less turnovers per possession over the last three games. Look for them to get the win tonight in Washington to get our parlay rolling.

New Orleans Pelicans +2.5 (-110)
The New Orleans Pelicans are catching a break tonight with Jaylen Brown being out for the Celtics. It’s not that they needed it as they have won three of their last four games but it’s nice when things get easier. Zion Williamson has been playing out of his mind recently dropping at least 38 points in each of his last two games. The Celtics are ripe to get eaten alive inside after losing Daniel Theis to the Bulls and Williamson is just the guy to do it.

Memphis Grizzlies ML (-335)
The Grizzlies will be happy to see a team other than the Utah Jazz tonight. Memphis had been on a three-game winning streak before running into the top team in the Western Conference for two straight games. The Rockets are bottom 10 in turnovers per possession while the Grizzlies are second in the entire association in opponent’s turnovers per possession. Look for the Grizzlies to get out of Houston with a win tonight.

Kings/Spurs Under 230 (-110)
Both the Kings and Spurs are no stranger to high-scoring games but this number seems just a bit high. The Spurs offense is 5th worst in the NBA in efficiency over the last three games while both teams are middling in defensive efficiency. Pace could be an issue as the Kings have gone from 12th fastest on the season to 5th slowest over the last three games. This game has a chance to fall double digits short of the total.

Bulls/Warriors Over 226.5 (-110)
Steph Curry is back tonight which changes everything for the Warriors. They are sure to see a boost with him on offense and even if he improves the defense they are still really bad. No team in the NBA has been worse in terms of efficiency on defense over the last three games than the Warriors. The Bulls haven’t been much better either. Both of these teams push the pace and if they are even remotely on their game, this one will go over.
