We have a small but solid slate in the NBA today, with a handful of interesting games. What better way to celebrate than by going for a big payday on Thursday? That’s right; we’re back with another mega parlay, NBA edition.
I just hit this mega parlay on Monday at +1070, now let’s do it again! 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.
Philadelphia 76ers ML (+230)
Houston Rockets (+500)
Parlay odds: +1880
Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Philadelphia 76ers ML (+230) over Milwaukee Bucks
To start this mega parlay we’re looking to the most highly anticipated matchup of the slate. Give me the 76ers at better than 2/1. Philly is coming off a really ugly loss to the Celtics which has caused this line to be inflated. That game was about as bad as you can imagine, and I expect the 76ers to come out fired up and locked in after it. I mean right before the Boston debacle they had beaten a really good Cavs team by double digits.
And the Bucks just aren’t anything to be too afraid of right now. In their most recent game, the Bucks struggled to put away a Pacers team that is arguably the worst in the league. And in their game before that, they lost by 15 at home to the lowly Trail Blazers. Granted Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t play in that one, but right before that they lost by 24 to Phoenix with everyone in the lineup.
Houston Rockets (+500) over Los Angeles Clippers
We’re wrapping up this mega parlay with the nightcap of the slate and another big money line underdog. The Clippers being this big of a favorite against just about anybody is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. Los Angeles is extremely shorthanded without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, and now they’re even without recently acquired Norman Powell as well. They’re a scrappy bunch that fights hard, and they can still hang with very good teams.
But they also have a very low floor when playing like this, which makes them a perfect target for a money line upset. The Clips have played only 1 bottom-feeding team recently and that was the Pacers. They lost. In their most recent game the Rockets very nearly beat the Suns, arguably the best team in the league, on the road as they only lost by 3 points. I think they’ll be able to hang here.
