We have a big slate in the NBA today, with a bunch of interesting games. And what better way to celebrate than by going for a big payday on Sunday as we wrap up the weekend? That’s right; we’re back with another mega parlay, NBA edition.
I’ve hit a few of these recently, so hopefully we can keep it going. We’re going big and bold again, so let’s not waste any more time. But before we dive in, don’t forget to check out our free picks on the side and total for every NBA game today.
Atlanta Hawks ML (+114)
New Orleans Pelicans -4 (-110)
Los Angeles Clippers ML (+176)
Parlay odds: +1027
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Atlanta Hawks ML (+114) over Dallas Mavericks
Take the Hawks to start off this mega parlay. Atlanta has turned things around recently, going 8-2 in its last 10 games. The Raptors managed to beat the Hawks twice in that stretch, but other than that they’ve been perfect. It’s not like they’ve just been beating up on bottom-feeding teams either, as there are some impressive wins mixed in there. Just during this recent 8-2 stretch they’ve beaten good teams in the Bucks, Heat, Hornets (by 22) and Suns.
Trae Young has been on fire, and he’s scored at least 36 in 2 of his past 3 games. The Mavs picked up a desperately needed win over the 76ers their last time out, but right before that they lost back-to-back games to the Thunder and Magic. Luka Doncic dropping 34 points on 13 of 22 shooting wasn’t enough for them to get past Orlando.
New Orleans Pelicans -4 (-110) over Houston Rockets
For the next leg of our parlay, take the Pelicans on the spread. New Orleans got off to a terrible start which caused everyone to stop paying attention to them. But they’ve quietly been playing a lot better recently. This may surprise you, but the Pels have been an above .500 team for the past couple of months. The Rockets, on the other hand, are 1-5 in their last 6 games, and their only win in that span came against a severely shorthanded Cavs team that was playing without Darius Garland.
Their last time out, Houston lost to a mediocre Spurs squad by 25. Incredibly, it wasn’t the first time they’d lost by 25+ to the Spurs recently! New Orleans beat Denver on the road in their most recent game, so they should have some momentum.

Los Angeles Clippers ML (+176) over Milwaukee Bucks
To wrap up this mega parlay and hopefully bring us home, we’ve got the Clippers. Any time you can get this scrappy Los Angeles team as a sizable home underdog you have to consider it. The Clips traded for Norman Powell and Robert Covington this week, signaling they’re very much trying to win this season. It looks like both of those guys are going to make their team debuts in this game.
Despite being very shorthanded, the Clips are 4-2 in their last 6, and they’ve won 4 in a row at home. Then you throw in the fact that Milwaukee just hasn’t been impressive lately. Sure, the Bucks beat the Trail Blazers and Wizards in their most recent games, but that isn’t saying much. They’ve been tested only twice recently, and they failed both tests miserably. First they got demolished by 16 by the Cavs, and then lost by 36 to the Nuggets.
