We’ve got an interesting NBA Tuesday slate this week with nine games, and we’re looking for a big payday here. That’s right, we’re back with another NBA mega parlay, this time a four-teamer with a payout north of 20/1 where we’re counting on the Blazers to pull off an upset in the nightcap. We’ve been rolling recently, with a college basketball parlay win at 23/1, and a couple of big NBA same game parlay wins so why not follow it up with even more winners on Tuesday?
We’re going big and bold, so let’s not waste any more time. We’re diving in, but don’t forget to check out our picks for the side and total on every NBA game.
Atlanta Hawks -7 (-110)
Golden State Warriors -1.5 (-110)
Milwaukee Bucks -11 (-110)
Portland Trail Blazers ML (+270)
Parlay odds: +2451
Let’s break down each of the four legs one by one.
Atlanta Hawks -7 (-110)
It’s hard not to want to fade the Cavaliers right now. To say they’ve been abysmal would be an understatement, as they’ve now lost ten games in a row. Incredibly, they’ve lost nine of those by at least 16 points, so I’m really not concerned about laying this number with Atlanta here. We’re talking about a team that just got blown out at home by the Thunder in their most recent game, while the Hawks are coming off a win over the Nuggets. Atlanta also just recently beat the Celtics a couple of nights ago. These offenses aren’t even in the same league right now, and I see another lopsided loss in the Cavs’ immediate future. -7
Golden State Warriors -1.5 (-110)
Steph Curry was a late scratch in Golden State’s last game, but he’s going to return here. Needless to say that’s a massive boost, and his return will give the Warriors simply too much offense for the Knicks to overcome. New York wants to grind out low scoring games, but that strategy isn’t going to work when they have to contain someone playing at an MVP level like Curry. The Knicks have played an incredibly soft schedule recently, with their last five games coming against the Timberwolves, Magic, Hawks, Rockets, and Wizards. This step up in competition will come as a shock to their system, and I think the Warriors end up winning this one comfortably.
Milwaukee Bucks -11 (-110)
Speaking of blowouts, I don’t see a scenario where the Bucks don’t blowout Minnesota here. To say the Timberwolves are in disarray would be putting it kindly, as they just fired their head coach and then shockingly replaced him with an assistant from another team over night. The T-Wolves have the worst record in the NBA, so I’m not sure how they’re supposed to hang with Milwaukee on the road here. Minnesota has scored just 180 points over their last two games. The Bucks have the second-best point differential in the league, so they’re the kind of team I’m fine with laying a double digit spread with. -11
Portland Trail Blazers ML (+270)
To really give this parlay the big odds boost we’re throwing in the Blazers money line here for this TNT nightcap. Portland has been really good on the road this year, with a 10-6 record away from home. Sure they’ve lost two games in a row (including one to a red-hot Phoenix team), but right before that they were on fire themselves and had won eight of nine. Denver has looked mediocre at best the past couple of weeks, and they’ve lost three of four now. The one win in that stretch came against the lowly Cavs, and they also lost to the Wizards. There’s no way we should be getting nearly 3/1 here.
