Hopefully we can make some money together! Oh, and I firmly believe Lebron James is not one of the two best basketball players of all time. Yeah, I said it.

Another week comes to a close with a 7-game slate in the NBA. Last Sunday we landed our +701 odds mega parlay, can we deliver another winner on the same day this week?

Check out our NBA predictions on the spread and total for all today’s games, but without wasting any more time let’s jump straight into my parlay now!

Sacramento Kings ML (+118)

Over 228 points in Bulls vs Hawks (-110)

Parlay odds: +687

Odds available at FanDuel Sportsbook at time of publishing.

LA Lakers -5 (-112)

The Lakers took the first meeting of the season in LA by 7 points. LeBron James and Anthony Davis are both back and healthy, which hasn’t been the case in 2 of the last 3 games. LA’s main advantage here will be AD, as Detroit doesn’t really have anyone to match up with him. In the first meeting of the season he finished with 38 points and 16 rebounds, the Lakers depend quite a lot on the big men to carry them. Detroit has 3 losses in 4 games and they return home following a 3-game road trip. In 12 home games they have only 4 wins this season, and there’s still no sign of Cade Cunningham returning. This will be the final game of a 6-game road trip for LA, with a win tonight they tie it at 3-3 before going home to face the Celtics, Nuggets and Suns in 3 of their next 4. I think a strong finish is needed for a confidence booster ahead of all those games, so let’s back the Lakers to cover on the road.

Sacramento Kings ML (+118)

Despite the absence of De’Aaron Fox, the Kings were able to beat the Cavaliers by 11 in their last game. It was a team effort in Fox’s absence with 4 players scoring 18, 18, 19 and 20 points, and as a unit Sacramento shot 53% from the field. They go up against the Knicks tonight, a team that is on a 3-game win streak, however all 3 of those wins were against teams that have been hit pretty hard by the injury bug. Covering the spread against Western Conference teams has been an issue for the Knicks as they’ve gone just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 outings. With Fox presumably returning, the Kings have a solid chance of winning. He gives the Kings elite scoring and playmaking to which the Knicks don’t really have an answer. New York is just 6-7 SU at MSG this season, so let’s back the road team to win.

Over 228 points in Bulls vs Hawks (-110)

It will be all about pace in tonight’s game between the Bulls and Hawks. Chicago comes into it after putting up 144 against the Dallas Mavericks last night, with every single Bull touching the floor scoring at least 1 point. They knocked down 19 threes on almost 56% shooting from deep and 63.5% from the field. A good sign heading into Atlanta, to face a team that ranks 3rd in pace when playing at State Farm Arena. Dejounte Murray might be out, but the Hawks are pretty much used to having Trae Young manage all the playmaking. They’ve cleared the 228 point total in 3 of their last 5 games fairly easily. The over has cashed 4 times in 6 meetings between these teams. Combine that with the Bulls playing at the 7th-fastest pace on the road this season and I think we’re in for a free-flowing, exciting offensive game by both teams.
