With just 2 more regular-season days left, there are still a couple of playoff seeding questions up in the air. Only 3 games are being played on Saturday, and I’ve included all of them in today’s NBA mega parlay.
Be sure to check our NBA predictions for picks on the spread and total for all 3 games being played, but without further ado let’s jump into my parlay.
Utah Jazz ML (+215)
LA Clippers -17 (-110)
Minnesota Timberwolves -13.5 (-110)
NBA mega parlay odds: +1088

Utah Jazz ML (+215) over Denver Nuggets
To start off the parlay we have the already-eliminated Utah Jazz hosting the Denver Nuggets, who are locked into the #1 seed. So far the Jazz have gone 22-18 SU at Vivint Arena and have been playing their reserves for a while now, so I expect that to be the case tonight as well. Denver has also been resting players, and as things stand Aaron Gordon, Reggie Jackson, Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are all questionable for tonight, but the oddsmakers still favor the Nuggets by 6.5 points despite them winning just once in their last 5 games. The Jazz did win the first meeting of the season played in this arena in the first game of the season for both teams. They’ve dominated the Nuggets in Salt Lake City for a while now, winning 15 of the last 17 meetings. So why not go out there and say goodbye to the home fans with one final home win against the best team in the West?
LA Clippers -17 (-110) over Portland Trail Blazers
Unlike the first game of our parlay, this one has meaning. The Clippers’ seeding position is still up in the air as they try to avoid the play-in tournament. After last night’s Warriors win over Sacramento, they’ve now dropped to the 6th seed which would mean they play the Kings in the opening round. That sounds a lot more enticing than having to play Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns, a scenario that is likely to happen if they win their remaining games against Portland and the Suns on Sunday. Tanking tonight’s game carries a risk as then they would have the same record as the Pelicans, who own the tiebreaker against them. So it will be interesting to see what head coach Ty Lue opts for. I don’t think he would risk upsetting the basketball gods and lose tonight’s game on purpose, right?

Minnesota Timberwolves -13.5 (-110) over San Antonio Spurs
Losing 3 of their last 4 games has put a huge dent in the hopes of the Minnesota Timberwolves to make the playoffs. After an embarrassing loss to Portland they bounced back with a road win at Brooklyn, which has them in 9th place in the standings, meaning they would play Oklahoma City in the play-in game. However, with a win tonight they would still leave the door open to potentially moving up the standings as their final game of the season is against the team ahead of them, the New Orleans Pelicans. The T-Wolves also have the tiebreaker over the Lakers, so they can move up as far as 7th place if the results go their way. The good news is they are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 against San Antonio and have beaten them 4 times in the last 6 meetings. I’m counting on Minnesota to win big.
