The NBA is approaching the home stretch and we have a big slate on Friday with 11 games to pore over. And what better way to celebrate than by going for a big payday? That’s right; we’re back with another mega parlay, NBA edition.
We’re going big and bold again, so let’s not waste any more time. But before we dive in, don’t forget to check out our free picks on the side and total for every NBA game today.
Washington Wizards ML (+270)
Memphis Grizzlies ML (+240)
Parlay odds: +1158
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Washington Wizards ML (+270) over Dallas Mavericks
Kristaps Porzingis revenge game? Kristaps Porzingis revenge game. I’m going with the Wizards on the money line for the first leg of this mega parlay. Washington has quietly been solid recently, and they’ve won three of their past four. Porzingis has been a huge part of that, and he’s starting to look like his old self with his new team. Porzingis is coming off a dominant 35-point outing, and that was the second time in a 5-day span that he dropped 30+.
The Wizards have been poor on the road this season, but it might surprise you to learn that they’re above .500 at home. When you combine that with the fact that the Mavericks have been much worse on the road than at home this season, home-court advantage looks to be real here. The Mavs laid several duds recently, and they’ve lost 3 of their past 4 on the road. All 3 of those losses were by double-digits, and 2 of them were by 21 points.

Memphis Grizzlies ML (+240) over Phoenix Suns
To wrap up this mega parlay up and hopefully bring us home, we have another significant home ‘dog. I don’t care that Ja Morant is out for the Grizzlies or that they are playing the Suns. Memphis is too good to be getting this price at home. The Grizzlies have fared just fine without Morant so far this season, and have won 10 of their past 11. They just beat the Bucks by 25 without Morant, and that was right after they beat the Nets by 12 without him.
It’s not like they’ve only been beating up on bottom-feeders by any stretch of the imagination. The Suns are obviously elite, but I don’t think they’re unbeatable on the road against another elite team. Phoenix has had an absolutely exhausting last few games. Their past 3 have been against the Warriors, 76ers and Nuggets, and all 3 were brutal slugfests that were extremely close the whole way. They may be pretty fatigued on Friday.
