The final weekend of the regular season is upon us and we have a big 11-game night coming our way this Friday. Quite a few teams are resting players which adds an interesting twist to an already complicated situation, but let’s hope a bit of luck is on our side with tonight’s NBA mega parlay.
I’d also encourage you to check our NBA predictions page for picks on the side and total for every single game played tonight, but let’s not waste any more time and jump straight into my NBA mega parlay.
Pelicans -7.5 (-110)
Mavericks -9 (-112)
Kings ML (+210)
NBA parlay odds: +1022

New Orleans Pelicans -7.5 over New York Knicks (-110)
To start off this NBA mega parlay, we’re taking the Pelicans to cover the spread against the Knicks. The Pels are currently in 8th place in the West, tied with the same record as the Lakers which means their play-in game would take place on the road in LA. Winning tonight’s game, with the Lakers losing theirs against Phoenix, would put the Pelicans ahead of the Lakers, so there’s still a lot to play for here if you’re New Orleans.
New York, on the other hand, has been settled into the 5th seed for quite some time now and the most important thing for them right now is to stay healthy and rest key players for their highly anticipated first-round series against Cleveland. The Knicks are on a 5-game win streak, but you have to think that without the likes of Julius Randle, Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett here they stand no chance against a motivated Pelicans team that is almost at full strength. The Pelicans are also 8-2 SU/ATS in their last 10 and have covered in 4 of 5 home games.
Dallas Mavericks -9 over Chicago Bulls (-112)
While there is still hope, Luka Doncic won’t give up. The Mavericks are on the brink of elimination with just 2 games left and they have to beat a Chicago Bulls team that is finishing 10th in the East regardless of how their last 2 games play out. There are already rumors coming from Chicago that both their stars DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine will not suit up here, and without those two the Bulls are a lottery team.
If Dallas was to win, that would put pressure on OKC, who are currently in 10th place, and they’ll play the Memphis Grizzlies in their final home game on Sunday. The Mavs have shown signs of life by beating Sacramento in their last game to stay alive. Although the pairing of Doncic and Irving hasn’t been at its best, I believe the play-in seeding will go down the wire until the very last day and a convincing Mavericks victory here would certainly help that cause.

Sacramento Kings ML over Golden State Warriors (+210)
The good thing about tie-breakers is that they give you control of your destiny and this is especially important for the defending champion Warriors, who head into Sacramento tonight with hopes of remaining the 6th seed. That would give them the Kings in the first round, which would be an ideal matchup for a team that’s been searching for its identity in road games this entire season.
The Lakers, who are behind Golden State, are no longer a threat as they have the tie-breaker, while the Clippers who are ahead of them also own that tie-breaker. So in theory, a loss here would be the best option for the Warriors, who would avoid potentially jumping to 5th which would mean playing Phoenix in the first round. The Kings are likely to rest their key players here, which is the reason behind their inflated odds. Regardless, there is every chance the Warriors rest players as well ahead of their final game against Portland on Sunday. It’s also worth remembering that Golden State has won just 9 of their 39 road games this season.
