Let’s focus on my Mega Parlay now!
Memphis Grizzlies -10 (-110)
Chicago Bulls ML (+102)
Utah Jazz ML (+144)
Parlay odds: +840
Memphis Grizzlies -10 (-110) over Washington Wizards
The Wizards are in a bad spot here following a 42-point home loss against the Brooklyn Nets. Leading scorer Bradley Beal has been ruled out of tonight’s game as he enters the health and safety protocols. They’ve now lost 4 of their last 5 games and 3 of those were by double digits, which is concerning. Winning at Memphis will be a challenge in itself, as they’ve won just 4 of their last 17 games on the road and at the FedEx Forum they are 0-7 ATS in the last 7 visits. Memphis is unbeaten at home this season in 3 games, and they blew out the Charlotte Hornets by 31 on Friday. This team is playing at an elite level and is 4th in the Western Conference. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Danny Green continue to be out with knee and foot injuries, but that hasn’t bothered them too much. With a 6-1 SU record in their last 7 games against Eastern Conference teams and a 5-game win streak at home dating back to last season, I think the Grizzlies can win this one fairly easily against the shorthanded Wizards.
Chicago Bulls ML (+102) over Toronto Raptors
Next up I have a very exciting Eastern Conference rivalry taking place in Toronto, where the Raptors host the Chicago Bulls. Both teams are riddled with injuries, but the Raptors have had it worse with Pascal Siakam being doubtful with a groin issue and Fred VanVleet is also questionable with a back problem. If you want to beat a team like the Bulls, you have to be at full strength. Chicago will be without Coby White, Lonzo Ball and Andre Drummond, but none of those 3 guys has played a significant role this season. DeMar DeRozan is coming off a 46-point night on the road at TD Garden, and he takes on his former team having scored at least 26 points against them in the last 4 meetings, winning 3 of them. The Bulls could use a win against a bigger team right now, and the Raptors are the ideal opponent for them to do so. They are 6-1 SU/ATS over the last 7 head-to-head.

Utah Jazz ML (+144) over Los Angeles Clippers
And finally, the team we’ve all been pleasantly surprised with this season, the Utah Jazz. I have them winning against the Clippers tonight, just a game after they beat the other LA team, the Lakers, 130-116. Paul George and co. will present a much more difficult challenge, but the Jazz are up for it. This team has beaten the likes of Denver, Minnesota, New Orleans and Memphis (twice) already this season as they continue racking up the wins. They are a top-10 team in offensive rating and also have the 12th-best defensive rating. Lauri Markkanen leads them in scoring, but they are so much more than just a one-man team with 5 other players scoring in double digits. The Clippers have been far from impressive to start the season, mainly due to injuries. Kawhi Leonard’s status is still unknown, without him they are definitely not a championship contender. They are riding a 3-game win streak, but two of those wins were against Houston and one was against San Antonio. I think the Jazz can complete the LA sweep at Crypto.com Arena tonight.
