The playoffs are finally here, why not celebrate by going for a big payday on Saturday? That’s right, we’re back with another NBA mega parlay, this time a three-team postseason edition with a payout north of 15/1 where we’re counting on the Clippers to dominate. We’ve been rolling recently, and incredibly cashed our NBA mega parlay two days in a row last week. On Wednesday we hit at +1035 odds, and on Thursday we hit at +1225 odds. Let’s do it again on Saturday!
We’re going big and bold, so let’s not waste any more time. We’re diving in, but don’t forget to check out our picks for the side and total on every NBA game.
Milwaukee Bucks to win by 11+ (+200)
Los Angeles Clippers to win by 11+ (+200)
Brooklyn Nets -8 (-110)
Parlay odds: +1610
Keeping it simple with three plays. Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Milwaukee Bucks to win by 11+ (+200)
When the Bucks win, they tend to win big, and it’s been that way for years now. Despite finishing as the three seed, they actually still had the best point differential in the Eastern Conference. Accordingly, their wins tend to be lopsided. All three regular season games between these teams this season were decided by at least 11, so don’t expect a nail-biter here.
The Bucks won two of those regular season meetings by at least 14. After Miami embarrassed them in the playoffs last year, Milwaukee will come out on fire here as they look for revenge. The Heat have a low offensive floor, and six of their past eight losses have come by at least 12 points.

Los Angeles Clippers to win by 11+ (+200)
The Clippers should win this one by double digits as well. The Clippers got their stars plenty of rest as they tanked down the stretch for seeding purposes, so Kawhi Leonard and Paul George should come out fresh and ready to go here. These teams still have a bit of bad blood from last year’s playoff series, so the Clippers are going to want to stick it to them.
The Clippers might be the four seed, but only because they chose to be. They had the second-best point differential in the entire NBA this year, showing they can win in blowout fashion when they want to. Los Angeles played much better at home than on the road this year, and they don’t get enough credit for how good they’ve been on defense. The Mavericks finished up their regular season by losing to the Mavericks in a game they really wanted to win.

Brooklyn Nets -8 (-110)
This might be boring for some fans, but I’m expecting three straight lopsided games to open the slate. If you’re looking for excitement, look toward the Portland/Denver nightcap. The Nets are going to want to make a statement in their first playoff game with their Big 3. As such, don’t expect them to take their foot off the gas late in the game. They’re going to look to run up the score. James Harden came back for the last couple of regular season games, and Steve Nash has said he won’t be on a minutes restriction here.
The Nets have a gear they rarely felt the need to shift into when the games didn’t matter as much. I’m not giving the Celtics too much credit for their home win over the Wizards in the play-in tournament. They have no chance of keeping up offensively without Jaylen Brown in the lineup, and they finished the regular season losing five of their last six. Their one win in that span came against Minnesota, and they even lost to the lowly Cavs.
