It’s a 7-game slate on a Sunday in the NBA and our experts have another tasty Mega Parlay coming your way!
Check out our predictions on the spread and totals for all 7 games tonight, but let’s not waste any more time and jump straight into our 3-leg mega parlay.
LA Lakers -5.5 alternative spread (+142)
Golden State Warriors -9.5 alternative spread (+150)
Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+340)
Parlay odds: +2651
LA Lakers -5.5 alternative spread (+142)
We kick things off with the Los Angeles Lakers hosting the San Antonio Spurs. Although the Lakers lost badly at home to the Timberwolves, nothing was going their way in that game and I think there’s no way that happens 2 games in a row for such a talented team. LeBron James didn’t play in that game. There is a chance he might tonight, although we don’t know yet. LA has the two best players on the floor, even if he doesn’t suit up. AD and Westbrook should be enough for them to beat only the 23rd-best defense in the NBA this season. The Spurs are also missing their 3rd-highest per-game scorer Jacob Poeltl and they could struggle to keep up with the fastest-paced offense in the league.

Golden State Warriors -9.5 alternative spread (+150)
What’s there left to be told about the Warriors that we haven’t said already? This team is just playing on another level compared to rest of the NBA. Their latest victim was the Chicago Bulls, who they dismantled at home by 26 points. Now they hit the road with their 7-game win streak during which they are beating teams by an average of 21.4 points. Stephen Curry had another 40-point performance, including 9 threes. The Charlotte Hornets rank dead last in points allowed per game this season. Against Western Conference teams they’ve performed poorly over their last 5 games failing to cover the spread each time. To top things off, the Warriors are yet to lose on the road this season.

Oklahoma City Thunder ML (+340)
And finally, we need an upset win to boost the odds on our parlay a bit, why not go with the Oklahoma City Thunder? Sure, they are facing a juggernaut of a team in Brooklyn, but the Thunder have actually played really well of late. They are on a 4-game win streak after beating the Lakers, Spurs, Pelicans and Kings. Those teams have averaged just 100.2 points per game against them. The Nets have shown they aren’t as invincible as people make them out to be with that loss at Chicago. Even a couple of nights ago they barely scraped past the New Orleans Pelicans. Looking at the last 10 meetings between the teams, OKC has actually won 7, including 2 of the last 3. Although they are out-talented on paper, the Thunder are not without a chance in this one.
