Nets +7 (-110)
Knicks +2 (-110)
Trail Blazers -10.5 alternate spread (+195)
Parlay odds: +975
For this parlay we are going with a pair of underdogs plus the points and a favorite against an alternate spread. Let’s break down each of the 3 legs.
Nets +7 over Warriors (-110)
The Nets have cooled off in a big way without the services of Kevin Durant, but they halted a 4-game losing streak by winning at Utah on Friday. Kyrie Irving scored 48 points, so both he and the team as a whole should have restored some confidence with that performance. Now Brooklyn faces a Golden State squad that could be significantly undermanned on Sunday. Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green are all questionable. Stephen Curry and company have lost 5 of their last 8 contests to fall back to .500 for the season. Getting 7 points should be more than enough for the visitors to cover.

New York Knicks +2 over Toronto Raptors (-110)
Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby are both questionable for the Raptors. Even if they do play and are 100%, there is plenty to like about the Knicks’ chances. New York will be eager for revenge after losing to Toronto in overtime on Monday. Despite some struggles this week, the Knicks have still won 7 of their last 11 games and Jalen Brunson is averaging more than 30 points per contest in January. They are 25-22 overall, 5 games better than the 20-27 Raptors. New York is 26-8 ATS in its last 34 on the road, while Toronto is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 against opponents with winning records.
Portland Trail Blazers -10.5 alternate spread over Los Angeles Lakers (+195)
LeBron James is questionable with an ankle issue, so the outcome of this game will have a lot to do with his status. LeBron has played in 5 straight games, which could work both ways. The injury clearly isn’t a big deal, but at the same time the Lakers may be inclined to give him an off day. Whatever the case, there isn’t any reason to be confident in Los Angeles regardless. Anthony Davis, Lonnie Walker IV and Austin Reaves are all sidelined, plus the team is a dreadful 21-15 overall and has lost 4 of its last 6 games. The Trail Blazers are nothing special, but Damian Lillard’s last 7 point totals are 34, 30, 50, 36, 40, 44 and 25. He is single-handedly capable of leading Portland to a blowout victory.
