Parlay odds: +805
For this parlay we are going with a favorite against the spread, an underdog plus the points and an underdog on the money line. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.
Pistons +6.5 over Knicks (-110)
Detroit is generally competitive when it plays inside its own building – at least it has been of late. The Pistons have lost by more than 6 points in regulation just once in their last 5 games at home, and that exception came against Philadelphia. The Knicks are a decent team, but they certainly aren’t the Sixers. That home stretch for the Pistons includes a 20-point rout of Orlando, a 17-point win over Minnesota and an overtime loss to the Clippers. It can’t be denied that Detroit is dealing with a lot of injuries, but Saddiq Bey and Bojan Bogdanovic are picking up the slack in a big way. Bey’s 3 most recent point totals are 17, 31 and 20 points and he is coming off a double double against New Orleans on Friday. Bogdanovic is averaging 21.2 ppg on 41.5% shooting from 3-point range this season and has scored at least 20 points in 8 straight games. Meanwhile, the Knicks have played 5 consecutive contests without winning by more than 6 points.

Nuggets -10 over Magic (-110)
The Nuggets are thrashing opponents left and right these days and there is no reason why they can’t beat up on the Magic. Denver is 29-13 overall and has won 5 in a row. Its last 6 victories have all come by double digits. Moreover, the Nuggets are in the midst of a stretch in which they are playing 9 of 10 games at home. They have 4 more inside Ball Arena following Sunday’s contest. The bottom line is that this team is well rested and extremely confident. The Magic are 16-27 overall and playing the final game of 5-game road trip. Nothing suggests this will be anything other than an absolute romp for Nikola Jokic and company.
Lakers ML over 76ers (+148)
The Lakers are 5-2 in their last 7 overall. They have lost 2 in a row, but one of those was at Denver without LeBron James and the other was in overtime to Dallas. Los Angeles is 4-1 in its last 5 with LeBron on the floor, with the only blemish during this stretch that close call against the Mavericks. In 4 games this month LeBron is averaging 32.3 points, 10.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists. The Lakers are playing at home on Sunday and facing a Sixers squad on the second leg of a back-to-back situation following Saturday’s date with the Jazz. This is a good opportunity for the home team to pull off an upset.
